Who We Are
Qissa is operated by Ark Horizon LLC.
What We Collect
We collect limited information needed to provide the app:
- Email address, if you create an account
- Account and subscription status
- Story usage counts, such as how many stories have been generated
- Purchase and subscription information processed through Apple, Google, and RevenueCat
Child Information and Story Content
Parents may enter a child's name, age range, language, personality trait, story theme, story length, and optional story companion to generate a personalized story.
This information is used only to create the story. We do not sell this information. We do not use it for advertising. We do not store generated story content on our servers. Stories and child profiles are stored locally on your device.
Text-to-Speech Narration
When you use voice narration, story text is sent to our backend and then to a third-party voice provider to generate audio. The provider depends on the narration tier selected:
- Story narration — story text is sent to Google Cloud Text-to-Speech (Neural2 voices).
- Cinematic narration — story text is sent to ElevenLabs.
- Natural narration — your device's built-in text-to-speech is used. No story text leaves your device.
Audio is cached locally on your device after the first play. Re-listening never re-sends text to any provider.
Story Illustrations
When a story illustration is generated, the story theme, your child's name, and the story companion are sent transiently to OpenAI's image generation API. This information is used only to create the illustration and is not stored by us beyond the current request.

Children's Privacy
Qissa is designed for use by parents or guardians on behalf of their children. Children should not create accounts or use the app without a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.
Data Retention
Account and usage-limit data may be retained while your account is active. Stories and child profiles are stored locally on your device. If you delete the app, locally stored stories and profiles may be removed from your device.
Security
All communication between the app and our servers uses HTTPS encryption. API keys that power story generation and narration are stored securely on our backend servers and are never exposed to the app or its users.
