Privacy

Tale Album is an open-beta tool. Anyone can sign in with an email address. There is 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 two cookies. A session cookie keeps you signed in after the magic-link email; it expires when you sign out. A language cookie remembers which language you picked for the interface — it is only set if you choose one. 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 at this size.
