Your privacy matters. This policy explains what data Storico handles, why, and the choices you have. It covers both the open source engine and the Storico Cloud service.
Storico is open source software that runs on your own machines. The open source engine contains no telemetry, no analytics, and no phone-home. When you run Storico locally with a local LLM (such as Ollama), your data never leaves your machine and we receive no data about your usage.
When you sign in via Google or GitHub OAuth, we receive your email address and display name. We do not store passwords — authentication is handled entirely by your OAuth provider.
The user stories you submit are sent to the configured LLM for task extraction. If you use a local model via Ollama, your data never leaves your machine. If you use a cloud provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini), your data is processed by them according to their respective policies. We do not use your content to train models.
If you contact us via email or GitHub issues, we keep the messages and details you provide so we can respond and manage the relationship.
We use a small number of providers to make Storico work. They process data only on our instructions and under contract.
| Provider | Purpose | Data involved |
|---|---|---|
| OAuth authentication | Email address, display name | |
| GitHub | OAuth authentication | Email address, display name |
| OpenAI (optional) | Cloud LLM processing | User stories you submit |
| Anthropic (optional) | Cloud LLM processing | User stories you submit |
Cloud LLM providers are only involved if you choose to configure them. When using a local model via Ollama, no data is sent to third parties.
Where the GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on these bases: performance of a contract to provide the service you asked for; legitimate interests to secure the service and prevent abuse; and legal obligation where the law requires us to retain or disclose data.
We protect data with measures appropriate to its sensitivity. Login sessions are handled via secure OAuth flows. We do not store passwords. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep the bar high and respond quickly to issues.
You retain full ownership of your data. Projects and stories can be deleted at any time from within the application, and deleting them also removes the tasks generated from them; a single task cannot be deleted on its own. Account data is kept for as long as you have an account. Usage data is kept only as long as needed to operate the service and meet legal requirements. We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties.
If you choose to use a cloud LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini), your data may be processed in countries other than your own. Those transfers are governed by the respective provider's data processing agreements. When running Storico locally, no data transfer occurs.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. If you are in the EEA or UK, the GDPR applies. If you are a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA applies, including the right to know, delete, and opt out of sale (which we do not do). To exercise these rights, email us at alvaldes.dev@gmail.com. We will respond within the period the law requires. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Storico is a tool for software development teams and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with data, contact us and we will delete it.
We may update this policy as Storico evolves. We will revise the 'Last updated' date above and, for material changes, give reasonable notice through the application or by email.
