What we collect

When you start a Father Story, we keep what you need for the work:

• Your name and email
• What you tell us about your father
• Photographs you upload
• Your answers to the guided conversation
• The written story we shape from what you shared

We may also keep basic technical information needed to run the site (for example, that you are signed into a session so you can come back where you left off).

How we use it

We use what you share to:

• Guide the conversation and shape his story
• Let you review, correct, and add photographs
• Email you about the story (ready to read, published, access, print orders)
• Print a keepsake book when you place a separate print order
• Help with support if you ask

Writing help: Parts of the experience use trusted writing tools (third-party language models) to help shape the story from what you supplied. Those tools process the text you share so a readable story can be prepared. We do not use your story to sell advertising.

We do not sell your personal information.

Photographs

Photos you add stay with your story so they can appear on the page (and in a printed book if you order one). Upload only photos you have the right to share. You can ask us to remove a story and its photos — see deletion below.

How the story is shared (publication choices)

Finishing the conversation does not publish the story by itself. You review it first.

When you publish:

• You get a link you can share with family and friends
• You choose whether the story also appears in Fathers Remembered (our public collection of father stories)
• If you do not include it there, people reach it only through the link you share (or that you send later)

You can change sharing choices later from your story tools where offered, or by emailing support.

Paying for longer access (keeping the page online for 1, 2, or 5 years) does not by itself add or remove the story from Fathers Remembered. That remains your choice.

Who can see it

• You — while creating and after publishing, with your link
• People you share the link with
• Visitors to Fathers Remembered — only if you opted in
• Our small team — as needed to prepare the story, send mail, fulfill a print order, or help with support

We do not sell this data.

Cookies (plain English)

We use a small cookie so the site can remember where you left off when you refresh or return on the same browser. If someone on our team signs in to help with a story, that uses a separate sign-in cookie. We do not use these cookies to sell ads or track you across other websites for marketing.

Asking us to delete something

If you want an interview or published story removed:

• Use the deletion / removal request option on the site when it is offered, or
• Email support@myfatherstory.com from the address you used (or include that address) and enough detail to find the right story

We will remove the interview materials, photographs, and story page we hold for that request, carefully and in good faith. Some copies may take a short time to clear from backups.
