Use of service

You may not use StoryDesk for:

Your account

Accounts are created using OTP verification sent to your phone number. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials safe. If you suspect unauthorised access to your account, contact us immediately at pritambabin@gmail.com.

AI-generated content disclaimer

StoryDesk uses Gemini AI to generate story summaries, enrichment, group analyses, and travel itineraries. This content is produced for research assistance only.

Uploaded content

You retain full ownership of any documents you upload. When you upload a file, it is passed to Gemini AI for analysis in memory and then immediately discarded — it is never stored on our servers, databases, or any third-party storage service. We do not use your uploaded content for any purpose other than generating the requested analysis.

Travel plans

AI-generated travel itineraries are suggestions only. Destinations, prices, opening hours, and local conditions change frequently. Always verify practical details directly with local sources, accommodation providers, and transport operators before travelling. StoryDesk is not responsible for any inconvenience or loss arising from reliance on AI-generated travel plans.

Limitation of liability

StoryDesk is provided “as is” without any warranties, express or implied. We do not guarantee continuous availability, accuracy of AI-generated content, or fitness for any particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, StoryDesk and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will note the effective date at the top of this page when we do. Continued use of StoryDesk after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
