Privacy Policy
Emma Studio ("Emma", "we", "us") is an AI storyboard generator made by Abishek Antony in Ontario, Canada. This policy explains what information Emma collects when you use emmastudio.app, why, who helps us process it, and the choices you have. We keep it short and collect only what the app needs to work.
What we collect
- Account details. Your email address and name. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address and profile picture from Google. If you use email sign-in, your password is stored only as a secure hash by our authentication provider - we never see it.
- Your projects. When you save to My Projects, we store the project: title, writer name, story premise or script text you enter or import, scenes, shots, characters, notes, settings and the sketches Emma draws.
- Usage counts. How many AI requests you make each day, so we can apply the daily free limit.
- Feedback. Anything you send through the feedback page, including screenshots you choose to attach.
- Technical data. Like any website, our hosting provider receives your IP address, browser type and request logs when you load the site, mainly for security and reliability.
Projects you don't save to My Projects stay in your own browser's storage on your device and are not sent to us, except for the text sent to the AI when you ask Emma to generate something (see below).
How we use it
- To run the app: sign you in, generate scenes, shots and sketches, and save and open your projects.
- To apply fair-use limits and protect the service from abuse.
- To send account emails you ask for, such as sign-in confirmation and password reset.
- To read and respond to feedback and fix problems.
We do not sell your information, show ads, or use your projects to train AI models.
AI processing
When you ask Emma to generate or sketch something, the relevant text (for example your premise, script excerpt, scene and shot details) is sent from our server to Anthropic's API to produce the result. Anthropic processes it under its commercial terms as our service provider. Please don't put information in your story that you aren't comfortable being processed this way. See Anthropic's privacy policy.
Service providers
We rely on these companies to run Emma. They process data on our behalf and only as needed for their service:
- Cloudflare - hosting and delivering the website and server.
- Supabase - accounts, sign-in and the database for saved projects, usage counts and feedback.
- Anthropic - the AI that writes scenes and shots and draws sketches.
- Resend - sending account emails.
- Google - "Sign in with Google" (if you use it) and web fonts.
- cdnjs (Cloudflare) - delivering open-source code libraries used for PDF export.
These providers may store and process data outside Canada, including in the United States.
Cookies and browser storage
Emma doesn't use advertising or analytics cookies. It uses your browser's local storage to keep you signed in, remember your theme, and keep your current project on your device.
How long we keep it
We keep your account and saved projects until you delete them or ask us to delete your account. Daily usage counts and server logs are kept only as long as needed for limits, security and troubleshooting. Feedback is kept while it's useful for improving Emma.
Your choices and rights
- Delete any saved project at any time from My Projects.
- Download any project as a file from the Project menu.
- Ask for a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion of your account and everything stored with it by emailing [email protected]. We'll respond within 30 days.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under privacy laws such as Canada's PIPEDA or the EU/UK GDPR. You can also contact your local privacy regulator.
Security
Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS), access to saved projects is restricted to your own account, and our AI key is kept on the server, never in your browser. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.
Children
Emma is not directed at children under 16, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top and, for significant changes, let signed-in users know in the app.
