What the internal build currently does
- Precise walking location and the accepted route trace are handled on the iPhone for navigation, resume, and the local Library. Apple and MapKit may process route endpoints to provide maps and walking directions. Current story, narration, cover, Daily-comparison, and optional analytics requests do not include route geometry.
- Cloud story creation, ElevenLabs narration, generated-cover processing, and Daily-choice contribution are separate controls that default off. Optional pseudonymous product analytics is a fifth, separate, off-by-default choice.
- The app can delete one completed story or all local app data. Its story-history export omits precise coordinates, audio, cover files, the active checkpoint, and the analytics identifier.
- Learned walking pace stays local. The build stores aggregate timing evidence for resume and discards raw pace samples rather than uploading them.
Creator Suite storage
- Creator access uses Sign in with Apple and Supabase Auth. Supabase processes an account identifier and session data so the site can check an invite-only access list. The site does not use an Apple relay email or profile field as the durable authorization key.
- The current Creator Suite stores drafts and named snapshots in this browser only. It does not send draft text to a model, voice service, image service, analytics service, account, upload, submission, or publishing system.
- Signing in does not move a draft between browsers or from the earlier prototype address. A creator must deliberately export and import a draft file to move it.
- A creator can download a versioned JSON draft or Markdown review file. Import is limited to a 2 MB JSON package and is treated as untrusted and unreviewed.
- Clearing browser storage can remove drafts. Deleting a browser-local draft does not claim to erase a server copy because this prototype does not create one.
What must be settled before publication
The public policy still needs verified operator and contact details, launch territories and audience position, exact server and provider retention, vendor terms, backup behavior, App Store privacy answers, account export, deletion and revocation behavior, and owner or counsel approval. Until those are complete and tested against the release build, this page is only an engineering status record.
