What we keep

Your email address, to sign you in. For each reading session: the story's log (every passage written for you and every decision you made, including the exact text you typed), the model calls made to write it (which include your typed text inside the prompts), and any 'something felt off?' notes you leave. We keep timing and cost figures per passage to run the service.

Who processes it

Passages are written by language models run by third-party providers. During the beta these are reached through OpenRouter and include models from Anthropic and OpenAI. Your typed text, the story so far, and the story's authored material are sent to them to write the next passage and to classify what you typed. They receive no account details. Their own retention terms apply to what they receive; we do not send your email address.

Why we keep it

To let you resume a story where you left it; to keep the story consistent over hours (the log is the story's memory); and to improve the stories, by replaying sessions against new versions and by reading flagged passages. People who run Novelyze may read sessions for those purposes and for support.

How long

For as long as the session exists. Live streams of a passage being written expire from the relay after seven days; the passage itself stays in the log. Deleting a session removes the log, your typed text, the flags, the model call records, and any research copies made from it.

Your rights

Export any session as a file, or delete it, from its contents page; no request needed. To delete your account and everything under it, write to us through the contact page and it is done within a week.

Cookies

A session cookie to keep you signed in, a language cookie if you switch language, and a theme setting kept in your browser. Nothing for advertising and no third-party analytics.
