Privacy
This policy explains how Story Bytes handles information across the public website, iOS app, and support channels.
Effective date: May 15, 2026
The Story Bytes website is a marketing, privacy, and contact site. It does not include reader accounts, creator publishing tools, or the web app experience. Like most hosted websites, we may receive standard server logs such as request time, page path, browser type, and IP address for security and reliability.
If you use the iOS app and create an account, we may process the information needed to run the account and keep it secure, including email address, phone number, verification status, name, app preferences, selected interests, notification tokens, reports, poll votes, and support requests. Browsing without an account is intended to avoid creating a user account.
We use information to operate Story Bytes, verify accounts, send requested emails or phone verification messages, personalize the app experience, deliver notifications you allow, prevent abuse, respond to support requests, and improve reliability.
Story Bytes may use infrastructure, database, email delivery, phone verification, push notification, market data, sports data, video, and AI service providers. These providers process information only as needed to provide their services to Story Bytes.
If you email us, we receive the information you include in that message, such as your email address, screenshots, device details, and the topic you are asking about. We use this information to respond to you and resolve the issue.
We keep information only as long as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, and maintain security. You can request help with account deletion or data questions from the contact page or inside the app where available.
Story Bytes is a general news product and is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review it.
We may update this policy as Story Bytes changes. When the policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
For privacy questions, account deletion requests, or data concerns, email storybytesapp@gmail.com. You can also use the contact page.
