We collect as little personal information as possible. We don't want to track you around the internet, build a profile of your listening habits, or bombard you with targeted advertising.

This policy explains how Relaxivity works and what happens to information when you use our website and audio player.

Who We Are

Relaxivity is an audio storytelling service operated by Storynory Ltd, a company based in the United Kingdom.

Our website is relaxivity.app.

If you have any questions about privacy, you can contact us at bertie@storynory.com

What Information Do We Collect?

You can browse our stories and listen to our audio without creating an account or giving us your name or email address.

Like any website, Relaxivity needs to process some technical information to deliver its pages and audio files. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information and the files you request.

We use this information only as needed to operate, secure and improve the service.

If you contact us directly, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address and the contents of your message. We use this to respond to you.

Favourites and Playlists

Relaxivity allows you to save favourite stories, create playlists and remember certain listening preferences.

These features use storage in your own browser.

Your favourites and playlists are stored on your device rather than in a personal account on our servers.

This means:

You don't need to register or sign in.
We don't need to know who you are to remember your favourites.
Your saved selections may be different on each device or browser.
Clearing your browser's website data may remove your saved favourites, playlists and preferences.

This storage is used to provide features you have chosen to use, not to track your activities across other websites.

Cookies and Tracking

We aim to keep Relaxivity free from intrusive tracking technologies.

We do not use advertising cookies or third-party behavioural tracking to build profiles of our listeners.

We use browser storage to provide features such as favourites, playlists and playback preferences. This is different from using cookies to follow your browsing activity around the internet.

Essential technical cookies or similar technologies may also be used where necessary for the secure operation of the service.

Website and Audio Hosting

Relaxivity uses Cloudflare to deliver its website and audio files, including Cloudflare Pages and Cloudflare R2.

When you visit the website or play an audio story, Cloudflare may process technical information, including your IP address, to deliver content, maintain performance and protect against misuse.

Cloudflare may process this information through its international network, subject to applicable data protection safeguards.

You can read more in Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

Analytics

We may use limited, privacy-conscious information about website traffic and audio delivery to understand how Relaxivity is performing.

This may include aggregate information such as the number of requests, bandwidth used and general technical performance.

Email and Communications

If you contact us by email, we use your information to deal with your enquiry.

We do not sell your email address or add you to a marketing mailing list simply because you contacted us.

If we introduce an optional email newsletter, we will explain how it works and allow you to unsubscribe.

How We Use Information

Where personal data is processed, we do so for legitimate purposes, including:

Delivering and securing our website and audio service.
Maintaining performance and diagnosing technical problems.
Responding to enquiries.
Meeting any applicable legal obligations.

Our legal bases under UK data protection law include legitimate interests in operating and protecting the service, compliance with legal obligations, and consent where required.

We do not sell personal information to advertisers or data brokers.

How Long Do We Keep Information?

We aim to keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed.

Technical information processed by our hosting and security providers is subject to their applicable retention arrangements.

If you contact us, we retain correspondence only for as long as necessary to deal with the enquiry and any related legal or business requirements.

Information saved in your browser, such as favourites and playlists, remains there until you or your browser removes it.

Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to request access to your personal information, ask for corrections or deletion, object to certain processing, or request restrictions on its use.

You can contact us if you wish to exercise these rights.

External Links

Our website may contain links to other websites or services.

Those services have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy if our website, technology or legal obligations change.

The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.

Future Features

We may introduce additional features in the future, such as optional user accounts, and subscription services for our back archive. Some of these features may require us to collect additional personal information.

If we introduce such features, we will update this privacy policy to explain what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before collecting or using information for new purposes.

Our Approach to Privacy

Relaxivity exists to help people enjoy stories, music and the spoken word.

We believe you should be able to listen without surrendering your personal information.

We intend to keep it that way.
