privacy policy

last updated: january 2026

stori is built on a simple principle: your stori, your data. we don't sell it, we don't trade it, we don't use it to train models without your permission.

what we collect

we collect your email address when you join the waitlist or apply as a creator. we collect basic usage data (what features you use, how long you watch) to improve the product. we collect the content you post — videos, photos, text — to operate the service.

what we don't do

we don't sell your personal data to advertisers. we don't share your data with third parties except to operate the service (email delivery, cloud infrastructure). we don't track your location beyond what you explicitly share. we don't shadowban or suppress your content algorithmically.

how we use your email

we use your email to send you waitlist updates, your invite code, and product announcements. you can unsubscribe at any time. we use SendGrid to deliver emails — they process your address on our behalf under a data processing agreement.

cookies

we use minimal cookies for session management. we don't use third-party tracking cookies. we don't use advertising pixels.

your rights

you can request deletion of your data at any time by emailing foundingstoritellers@topstori.com. we'll delete your account and associated data within 30 days.
