Your privacy, explained plainly
Storey is built on trust. This page explains — in simple language — how we think about privacy, what we do (and don’t do) with your information, and the principles we follow to keep your life details private.
Privacy first — by design
Storey exists to help you organise the most personal parts of your life. That means privacy isn’t an afterthought — it’s a core design principle.
- Your information belongs to you. You stay in control at all times.
- We collect only what’s needed. Nothing extra, nothing “just in case”.
- No hidden uses. Your data is used only to provide the Storey service.
- Clear choices. You decide what to store, share, or delete.
We don’t sell your data
This one’s simple.
Storey does not sell your personal information. We don’t trade it, rent it, or package it up for advertisers.
Your account data, documents, messages, and memories are never used for marketing databases or third-party profiling.
Private by default
Everything you add to Storey is private by default.
- Your entries are not visible to other users
- Your documents are not publicly accessible
- Your messages and memories stay locked to your account
- No content is shared unless you explicitly allow it
If you choose to give someone access in the future — such as a trusted person or inactive account manager — that access only happens under the conditions you’ve defined.
Transparency, not fine print
We believe privacy policies should be readable by humans.
If we ever change how privacy works, we’ll explain it clearly — not bury it in legal language or quiet updates.
We aim to meet and exceed UK privacy standards, including the principles of the UK GDPR and guidance from the Information Commissioner's Office.
You stay in control
You can update, export, or delete your information at any time.
If you close your account, your data is handled responsibly and removed in line with our retention policies — not kept “just in case”.
