Branch — Privacy Policy
Effective: August 25, 2026
Branch ("the app") is an interactive-story app published by Chaotics. This policy
describes what data the app collects, how it is used, and how you can delete it.
Data we collect
- Anonymous account ID. On first use the app creates a random
identifier so your coins and stories work without signing in. It is stored on
your device and on our server.
- Sign-in details (optional). If you sign in with Apple or Google,
we receive and store your name (if shared) and email address, and the provider's
account identifier, so your account can be restored across devices. With Sign in
with Apple you may use Apple's private relay email instead of your real address.
- Story activity. The stories you play and the choices you make are
processed and stored on our server to run the game and to let you revisit saved
stories.
- Usage analytics. We record basic technical events (for example
which AI model generated a scene and how many tokens it used) to operate and
improve the service.
What we do NOT do
- We do not sell your data.
- We do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
- We do not show third-party advertising at this time. If ads are added in the
future, this policy will be updated first.
AI processing
Story text and images are generated by third-party AI services (Google Gemini for
text, fal.ai for images). Your story prompts and choices are sent to these services to
generate content; they are not linked to your name or email by us.
Data retention & deletion
You can delete your account at any time in the app: Profile → Delete account.
This permanently removes your account, sign-in identities, coin balance, and purchase
ledger from our server. Story playthroughs are anonymized (no longer linked to any
account). Stories saved on your device are under your control and can be deleted in the
app or by removing the app.
Children
Branch is a horror-themed app rated for older audiences and is not directed at
children under 13.
