HOW WE USE INFORMATION
HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We only share information with service providers that help us operate the Services (for example, hosting, analytics, payments, and content generation), and only to the extent necessary to provide those services. We may also share information when required to comply with law, enforce our terms, or protect our rights and users.
AI FEATURES AND AUTOMATED PROCESSING
Some features use AI to generate or transform content (for example, stories, images, or audio) or to transcribe speech. When you use these features, we may send the content you provide to AI service providers and store outputs to deliver the feature.
We do not use personal information to train our AI models, and we do not allow our AI service providers to train on your data where controls are available. We may test experimental features using synthetic or de-identified data. If we introduce new AI features that use your data, we will do so under this policy and update it if needed.

We use third-party services to operate the app and website. These providers may process information on our behalf as described in their privacy policies.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
FoxStoria is designed for use by parents, guardians, and educators with children. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Account registration requires an adult's email address; children do not create accounts directly. All account information (email, name, payment details) must be provided by a parent or guardian.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Certain features may use a parental gate (knowledge-based verification) to confirm an adult is present. If we learn that personal information was collected from a child under 13 without appropriate parental involvement, we will delete it. Parents may contact us at support@foxstoria.com to review or request deletion of their child's information.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
