Privacy Policy

1. Who this covers

This policy describes how Fabling, at fabling.app, handles information when you visit the site, join the waitlist, or use the app. Questions: maximepeabody@gmail.com.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use Fabling, we may store:

• Google account name, email address, and profile image, used to sign you in
• learning profile: language (Spanish or French), placement level, and onboarding answers
• stories written for you, including title, text, ratings, and narration audio
• vocabulary: saved words, review history, lookups, and related progress
• reading and listening time, words consumed, and grammar-practice state
• waitlist name and email if you request access and are not yet invited
• session cookies needed to keep you signed in

We do not run advertising pixels or third-party analytics on the site today.

3. How we use it

We use this information to:

• create and keep your account
• write stories at your level and play audio
• show definitions and in-sentence explanations
• schedule vocabulary reviews
• operate invite-only access and the waitlist
• fix bugs and keep the service running

4. Language models and audio

Story text, word lookups, and in-context explanations are produced by Google language models on the server. Narration is produced by Google text-to-speech. The story text and the word you look up are sent to those services so they can return a story, a gloss, an explanation, or audio. We do not use those requests to advertise to you.

5. Processors

We rely on:

• Google, for sign-in, story generation, explanations, and audio
• Supabase, for the database and audio files
• Vercel, to host the website

Each of those providers processes data according to its own terms and privacy policy.

6. Cookies

Fabling uses cookies and similar storage to keep you signed in after Google authentication. We do not use cookies for advertising.

7. Retention

We keep account and learning data while your account exists. Waitlist entries are kept until you are invited or removed. You can email maximepeabody@gmail.com to ask for deletion of your account and associated learning data. We may keep limited records if we are required to, or if they are needed to prevent abuse.

8. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share it with the processors above to run Fabling, or if the law requires it.

9. Children

Fabling is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

10. Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top will change when we do.

11. Terms

Use of Fabling is also governed by the Terms of Service.
