Privacy

Tale Album is a closed-beta tool. Access is by invitation only. The first 100 readers are people we invited by email. There is no public signup form, no payment, and no third-party login.

What we store

When you sign in, we store your email address and a session token. When you create a book, the text you paste (or the photo you upload) and every artifact derived from it — transcription, proposal, panel art, cover, composed pages, PDFs — live as files on a single server we operate. Nothing is shared between users. Nothing is sold.

Cookies

We use one cookie: a session cookie that keeps you signed in after the magic-link email. It expires when you sign out. We don’t use any tracking, advertising, or third-party cookies.

Analytics

We run Umami on our own server. Umami is cookieless and privacy-focused — no cross-site tracking, no fingerprinting that survives across days, no advertising network. We see aggregate page-view counts and which step of the book-making flow people reach. We do not see who visited a specific page, what they wrote, or any image they generated.

AI providers

To generate transcriptions, scripts, and illustrations, we send your text and (where relevant) generated images to AI services: Anthropic (text understanding for handwritten scans), OpenRouter (text generation routed to Google Gemini), and Google AI Studio (image generation). Each provider has its own privacy policy. We don’t send your email or any account information — only the content needed to make the book you asked for.

Email

Sign-in emails are sent through Brevo (formerly Sendinblue). They handle delivery and see your email address and the magic link, the same way every email provider handles outgoing mail.

Sharing

When you create a share link for a book, anyone with that URL can view the book’s pages and cover. The link is not indexed by search engines. You can revoke it at any time from the run page; the URL stops working immediately.

Removing your data

Email beta@talealbum.com and we will delete your account and every artifact tied to it. This is a small operation — there’s no automated “delete account” UI yet. Manual is faster than building it for 100 beta readers.
