Your essays are yours.
EssayStory exists to help you write better. We collect only what's needed to make the product work, and we never sell your data.
What we collect
- Account info. Name and email address from your Microsoft or Google sign-in.
- Essay content. The drafts, versions, notes, and review feedback you create in the product.
- Profile info. Optional details (grade level, interests, target colleges, background) you provide to personalize theme generation.
- Billing metadata. Subscription status, plan, and renewal dates. Payment details are handled by Stripe — we never see or store your card.
- Basic usage data. Standard server logs (request paths, error traces) used to keep the service running and debug issues.
How we use it
- To provide the core product: storing and rendering your essays, versions, and reviews.
- To generate structured reviews and suggestions when you request them. Essay content is sent to a language-model provider strictly for the duration of generating your review.
- To manage your subscription and entitlements.
- To respond to support requests.
What we don't do
- We do not sell your data.
- We do not use your essays to train any models.
- We do not share your essays with third parties except as required to render the product (e.g., the LLM provider for a review you explicitly request).
- We do not run third-party advertising or behavioral tracking on the app.
