Tales from the Shoyukan, the website at shoyukan.com and the iPhone app, is made by Chatile AI LLC. Last changed 9 November 2026.
Every tale, every recording and all the music can be read and heard without an account, and then we keep nothing about you. If you make an account to keep bookmarks and stars, we keep your name, your email address, your account’s identifier, your bookmarks and your stars, only so that they are there on every phone you sign in on. There are no adverts, no analytics and no tracking, and we sell or give your information to no one.
The app and the website fetch the tales, pictures, music and recordings from shoyukan.com. Like any web server, ours sees the address of the device that asks; we use it only to answer and to keep the site running safely, and not to know who you are.
What you have read (your tab at the house), where you stopped in a recording, and your sound settings are kept on your own phone or in your own browser. They are not sent to us. Neither the website nor the app uses cookies, analytics, advertising or any kind of tracking.
Bookmarks and stars need an account. You sign in with Google or with Apple, and from them we receive your name, your email address (with Sign in with Apple you may hide it, and we receive a private address that Apple forwards) and an identifier for your account. We keep those, the tales you have bookmarked and when, and the stars, from one to five, you have given each tale.
We use them only to keep your bookmarks and stars on every phone you sign in on, and to show each tale’s stars. Every reader sees a tale’s average and how many readers gave stars; nobody sees your name beside yours.
They are kept in Google’s Firebase (its Authentication and Cloud Firestore), which looks after them for us. Signing in itself is done by Google or by Apple, under their own privacy policies.
In the app, open Account and choose Delete account. Your bookmarks, your stars and the account itself are deleted from our server at once, and if you signed in with Apple, Apple is told to stop sharing your details with the app. Signing out on its own deletes nothing. You may also write to privacy@chatile.ai and we will delete it for you.
We keep what belongs to an account for as long as the account exists.
The tales are written for grown-ups. The website and the app are not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly keep anything about them.
You may ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, wherever you live: write to privacy@chatile.ai. If this policy changes, the new one will be here, with the date it changed.
