AI Story Chat: Love & Drama Privacy Policy

Last updated October 16, 2026

AI Story Chat: Love & Drama is an interactive story app for iPhone (the "App") published by Brainwave Learning Apps ("we", "us" or "our"). In the App you play stories, chat with their characters and make choices, and you can create your own characters and have the App write new stories for you. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App handles, why, who it is shared with, how long it is kept and the choices and rights you have. It also covers the AI Story Chat pages of this website and the messages you send us.

By installing or using the App you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the App.

1. Information the App handles

Your stories, chats and characters stay on your device

Everything you write and create in the App, the messages you type to the characters, your choices and playthroughs, the names you use, the characters you create, the stories the App writes for you and their pictures, together with your Story Pass status and your settings, is stored only on your device and in your device backup if you have enabled backups with Apple. It is never sent to us or to any server, and we have no access to it.

The AI runs on your device

The replies of the characters, the stories written for you and their pictures are made on your device by:

• Google's open Gemma model, the story engine of the App. It is downloaded once from Hugging Face, a model hosting service, as a 2.6 GB file, on Wi-Fi unless you allow cellular in the App settings. Like any download, the request reveals your IP address and device and network information, such as the operating system and connection details, to Hugging Face and the content delivery network that serves its files, which handle it under their own policies, see the Hugging Face privacy policy. The request contains nothing you have written in the App. After the download the model runs entirely on your device.
• Apple's Foundation Models and Image Playground, which are part of iOS and run on your device under Apple's terms. Anything you choose inside Apple's Image Playground, for example a photo for a likeness, is handled by iOS and the App receives only the finished picture.

Information you give us

If you email us, we receive your email address, your message and anything you choose to include, such as screenshots, your device model and the app version. When you report a reply with a long press, the App opens your mail app with a draft that contains the text of that reply and the story and scene it came from. Nothing is sent unless you send it, you can edit the draft first, and we receive only what you send. We use these messages to answer you, to review the reported replies and to improve the App and the safety of its stories.

Information collected automatically

The App contains no analytics and no crash reporting service and sends us no usage data. When the App shows ads, Google AdMob, described in section 3, collects device and usage information:

• Device and app information such as device model, operating system and version, app version, language, time zone, screen size, network type and carrier.
• Identifiers such as the IP address and the approximate location derived from it, the advertising identifier of your device (the IDFA, only with your permission), the identifier iOS provides to the apps of one developer and random identifiers that the ad service creates for your installation of the App.
• Ad interactions such as the ads requested, shown and tapped, and when and how often you see them.

The ad service does not receive your stories, chats, characters or anything you type in the App.

Purchases

The Story Pass is offered as a monthly auto-renewing subscription or as a one-time lifetime purchase, processed by Apple through the App Store. We receive a confirmation of the purchase, such as the product, date, status and an anonymous transaction identifier, but never your name, payment card or billing address. Restore purchases in the App settings reads the purchases of your Apple ID from Apple. You manage or cancel the subscription in your Apple ID settings.

What we do not collect

We do not ask for or collect your name, precise location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, health, financial or biometric information. Names and anything else you type in the App stay on your device. The only permission the App asks for is the tracking permission described in section 3. Please do not send us sensitive information.

2. How we use information

• To provide the App and its features, such as the stories, the chats with the characters, your own characters and stories, the story engine download and the Story Pass.
• To show ads, measure their performance and limit how often you see them, personalized only with your permission or consent where the law or the platform requires it.
• To answer your messages and requests, to review the replies you report and to improve the stories, the App and the safety of its replies.
• To keep the App and its users safe and to prevent fraud, spam and abuse.
• To comply with the law, enforce our terms and protect the rights, property and safety of our users, Brainwave Learning Apps and others.
• In connection with an organization, reorganization, merger, sale or transfer of the App or our business, see section 4.

Legal bases for users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. We process personal data to perform our contract with you (to provide the App you chose to use), for our legitimate interests (to keep the App working, secure and improving, to show non personalized ads that fund the free App, to answer your messages, to review reported replies and to establish, exercise or defend legal claims), which we balance against your rights, with your consent (personalized ads and tracking), which you can withdraw at any time without affecting earlier processing, and to comply with legal obligations.

3. Advertising

The App shows full screen (interstitial) ads served by Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. Google serves ads from its own advertisers and from the advertising partners it works with, and we may add other ad networks through AdMob mediation in the future, in which case we will update this policy. These companies collect the information described in section 1 to deliver, measure and, where permitted, personalize ads, to limit how often you see an ad and to detect fraud, and they may combine it with information from other apps and websites under their own policies. How Google uses information from apps that use its services.

• Tracking permission. The App asks for your permission through App Tracking Transparency before the advertising identifier is used to track you. If you decline, you still see ads, just not ones based on that identifier. You can change your choice at any time in Settings, Privacy and Security, Tracking. Installs that come from an ad may be reported to the advertiser through Apple's SKAdNetwork, which does not identify you.
• European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland. The App asks for your consent through Google's consent form, which follows the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework, before personalized ads are shown. You can change your choice at any time in the App settings under Ad privacy choices.
• US states. Under some US state laws, letting ad partners use your identifiers for personalized ads may count as "selling", "sharing" or "targeted advertising". You can opt out with the tracking setting above or by writing to us, see section 10.
• Story Pass. The Story Pass, a monthly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase, removes the ads.

Ads are provided by third parties. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the products, services or websites they promote.

4. How information is shared

• Service providers and partners described in sections 1 and 3, Google for ads, Hugging Face for the story engine download and Apple for the platform and purchases, only to provide their services, under their terms and, where they act on our behalf, only for our purposes.
• Legal and safety reasons. To comply with laws, court orders, legal process or lawful requests of public authorities, to enforce our terms, to protect the rights, property and safety of our users, Brainwave Learning Apps or others, and to detect and prevent fraud and security issues.
• Organization and business transfers. AI Story Chat: Love & Drama is operated under the Brainwave Learning Apps name and may be organized into, or transferred to, a company or another legal entity, or be part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets or insolvency proceeding. Information we hold may be transferred to that entity, successor or acquirer, which will be bound by this Privacy Policy for that information unless you are notified otherwise.
• With your consent or at your direction.
• Aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you, for any purpose.

Your stories, chats and characters are never shared, because they never leave your device. We do not sell your personal information for money.

5. How long information is kept

Information on your device stays there until you remove it. Delete my data in the App settings removes your playthroughs, your own stories and their pictures and your characters from the device, and deleting the App removes everything it stored, including the downloaded story engine. Copies in your device backup follow your backup settings. We keep your emails, including the replies you report, as long as we need to answer you and keep a record of our correspondence, then delete them. The services described in sections 1 and 3 keep what they receive for the periods set out in their own policies. We may keep information longer when the law requires it or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

6. Security

The App runs its AI on your device, keeps your stories and chats there and we run no server that stores them. The story engine download and the ad and purchase services use encrypted connections (HTTPS). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Protect your device with a passcode and keep it up to date. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for unauthorized access to information caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including incidents at third party services.

7. International transfers

We and the services we use, such as Google, Apple and Hugging Face, may process information in the United States and other countries whose data protection laws may differ from those of your country. Where the law requires it, these transfers rely on appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy decisions or the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission used by our providers.

8. Children

The App is rated for users 16 and older and is not directed to children under 16. Its stories are fiction at a PG-13 level, with romance and drama but no explicit content. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will delete it. Anything typed in the App stays on the device and is removed with Delete my data in the App settings or by deleting the App.

9. Your choices and rights

Choices on your device

• Use Delete my data in the App settings to remove your playthroughs, your own stories and their pictures and your characters, or delete the App to remove everything it stored.
• Allow or deny tracking in Settings, Privacy and Security, Tracking, and change your ad consent in the App settings under Ad privacy choices, see section 3.
• Get the Story Pass to remove the ads. Restore it with Restore purchases in the App settings, and manage or cancel the monthly subscription in your Apple ID settings.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Brazil, Canada, California and other US states, you may have the right to access your personal information, to correct it, to delete it, to receive a copy of it in a portable format, to object to or restrict its processing, to opt out of targeted advertising, profiling and the sale or sharing of personal information, and to withdraw a consent you gave. We will not treat you differently for using these rights. Residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland may also complain to their data protection authority.

How to make a request

Email [email protected] with the subject "AI Story Chat privacy request". We may ask for information to verify your request, and an authorized agent may act for you with your signed permission. We answer within the time the law requires, usually 30 or 45 days. Because we keep no account, stories or chats on our servers, the personal information we hold is limited to the emails you send us, and we may be unable to link information held by third party services to you, in which case we will explain how to use your device settings or contact that service directly. If we decline your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision, and if your appeal is denied you may contact your state attorney general or data protection authority.

10. Notice for US state residents

This section supplements the policy for residents of California and other US states with consumer privacy laws.

• Categories collected in the last 12 months: identifiers (IP address, advertising identifier, installation identifiers of the ad service, and your email address if you write to us), internet or other electronic network activity (interactions with ads), approximate geolocation derived from the IP address, inferences that ad partners may draw about your interests, and commercial information (purchase confirmations). We do not collect sensitive personal information.
• Sources: you, your device, Apple and the services described in sections 1 and 3.
• Purposes: those in section 2.
• Disclosures for business purposes: identifiers, network activity and approximate geolocation to the platform and advertising providers, and the IP address to Hugging Face when the story engine is downloaded.
• Sale or sharing: identifiers, network activity, approximate geolocation and inferences may be made available to advertising partners for cross context behavioral advertising, which some laws treat as a sale or sharing. You can opt out as described in section 3 or by emailing us. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16.
• California Shine the Light: we do not share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
• Nevada: we do not sell covered information as defined by Nevada law. You may still send us an opt out request by email.

11. Other things you should know

• AI characters and stories. The characters are AI and the stories are fiction, and the App says so in its AI notice. Replies and stories are generated on your device and may be inaccurate, unexpected or inappropriate. They do not reflect our views and are not advice. Long press a reply to report it to us.
• Crisis resources. When a message you write mentions self-harm, the App shows crisis resources instead of a reply: the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in the US (call or text 988) and findahelpline.com elsewhere. This check happens on your device and nothing is sent to us. The App is not a substitute for professional help. If you or someone else is in danger, contact your local emergency services.
• Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. These are browser signals. In the App, use the device and in-app controls described in sections 3 and 9. The AI Story Chat pages of this website set no cookies and load no advertising or analytics scripts.
• Third party content and links. Ads, the websites they lead to and the help line websites the App links to belong to their owners and are provided by third parties under their own terms. We are not responsible for their content or practices.
• Offline play. The stories and chats run on your device and work without an internet connection. The story engine download, ads and purchases need a connection and happen only when one is available.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we add features or when the law changes, and we will change the date at the top when we do. When a change is material, we will also give notice in the App or on its store page where the law requires it. The updated policy applies from its date, and continuing to use the App after that means you accept it to the extent permitted by law.
