Effective date: August 16, 2026
Developer: Pineforge Studios
The Short Version
Fablewyn has no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no user database. Your reading progress stays on your device. The app talks to the internet for exactly one thing — downloading narration audio — and that download carries no name, email, account, or identifier of any kind.
Information We Collect
None. Fablewyn does not require accounts and does not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or contact information. There is no user database, no cloud profile, no login, and no identifier that follows you between sessions or devices.
Local Storage
Fablewyn stores the following information only on your device:
- Story progress and visited scenes
- Unlocked endings
- Purchase state (which stories and packs you own)
- App preferences
- Downloaded narration audio (cached so it isn't re-downloaded)
Fablewyn does not upload or synchronize this data to any server. If you uninstall the app, this locally stored data is deleted.
Narration Audio
The stories included with the app come with their narration already built in, so they play with no internet connection at all. Narration for the remaining stories is downloaded from Google Cloud Storage the first time you play them (by default over Wi-Fi only; you can allow mobile data in the app's settings). The audio is cached on your device so it is only downloaded once.
This is an ordinary file download — no account, token, or personal information is attached to it. As with any download, your device's IP address is visible to Google's servers as part of standard internet communication. Nothing about which story you opened is recorded or associated with you.
Narration audio is produced by Pineforge Studios ahead of time using ElevenLabs voice technology. The app itself never communicates with ElevenLabs, and no user data is ever sent to them.
In-App Purchases
Fablewyn offers optional one-time purchases that permanently unlock additional stories and story packs. There is no subscription and nothing recurring. Purchases are processed entirely by Google Play — the developer does not receive or store payment information.
The app receives confirmation from Google Play that a purchase has been completed in order to unlock the content. What you own is stored on your device and with your Google Play account, not on any server operated by Pineforge Studios. Restoring purchases on a new device is handled by Google Play.
Analytics and Tracking
Fablewyn does not use analytics, tracking tools, advertising identifiers, crash reporting, or behavioral monitoring. The app does not track how you play stories or collect usage metrics.
Data Security
Narration downloads use encrypted connections (HTTPS). Because story data and progress are stored locally on your device, you retain control over that data. Fablewyn does not maintain a central database of user information.
Children's Privacy
Fablewyn is not directed at children under the age of 13. The app collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes to This Policy
This privacy policy may be updated from time to time if features of the app change. Updates will be reflected by revising the effective date at the top of this document.
