Privacy Policy for Viro

1. Overview

Viro is an AI-powered fiction app for generating mystery stories, cover images, and optional narration. Generated stories are intended for personal use inside the app.

Viro is designed to minimize data collection and store story data primarily on your device.

2. Information We Collect

Please do not enter sensitive personal information into prompts or instructions.

By default, generated stories and related content are stored locally on your device unless otherwise stated in the app.

2.3 Device and Usage Information

• Device type
• Operating system version
• Basic diagnostics and crash information

3. How We Use Information

• Generate stories, cover images, and optional narration
• Provide core app functionality
• Save and display your created stories on your device
• Maintain app performance and reliability
• Respond to support requests
• Detect abuse, fraud, or misuse of the service

4. AI Service Processing

To generate story text, cover imagery, or narration, Viro may send relevant prompt data to third-party AI service providers. This may include the story parameters and custom instructions you enter.

We limit transmitted data to what is reasonably necessary to provide the requested generation feature. Avoid including highly sensitive personal information in prompts.

5. Data Storage

5.1 Local Storage

Viro is designed to store generated stories and related metadata primarily on your device using local storage.

• Story titles and pages
• Cover image file paths
• Favorite status and reading progress
• User preferences

5.2 Remote Processing

Some information may be temporarily processed by remote service providers when generation features are used (prompt input, generation instructions, optional narration requests).

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share limited information with service providers as needed to operate the app:

• AI generation providers
• Analytics or crash-reporting providers (if enabled)
• Customer support tools (if used)

7. Data Retention

Because story content is primarily stored on your device, retention is largely user-controlled.

Data may be deleted when you:

8. Your Choices

• Delete locally stored stories
