StoryPeek ("we", "us", or "our") operates the StoryPeek website (the "Service"). This policy explains the limited information used to operate a supported public-media lookup, the choices available to visitors, and how advertising technology would be disclosed if it is enabled after approval.
StoryPeek is designed to collect only what is reasonably necessary to operate the site, keep it secure, and understand whether the service is functioning. Depending on how you use the Service, this can include the following categories.
We use this information to provide a requested public-media lookup, maintain security and rate safeguards, diagnose technical problems, understand aggregate site usage, and comply with applicable legal obligations. StoryPeek does not sell a visitor's submitted username as a contact list and does not ask visitors for private-account data.
StoryPeek may use privacy-oriented analytics to understand aggregate page use and service performance. Analytics settings can change as the Service develops. Where an analytics or similar technology uses cookies or identifiers beyond essential operation, StoryPeek will provide any notice and choice required by applicable law.
StoryPeek is not currently approved to show AdSense ads. No manual ad units or automatic ad placements are configured on the site. The official Google AdSense script remains in the page for the application setup; its loading creates a connection to Google even when no ad placement is configured. Clicking "Got it" on the site's privacy notice only dismisses that notice: it does not grant advertising consent or change the behaviour of the AdSense script or analytics.
Before advertising is enabled, StoryPeek will configure the required consent controls, including a Google-certified consent management platform for personalised ads where Google requires it. Any earlier notice acknowledgement or legacy browser flag is not treated as consent to future advertising. If ads are later enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar identifiers to provide and measure advertising, subject to applicable law and the visitor's applicable choices.
You can learn more at How Google uses data when you use partners' sites or apps. Browser and device settings may also offer controls for advertising preferences.
StoryPeek keeps information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here. Service cache entries have reuse limits, but an expired entry may remain in process memory until it is replaced, removed during a later lookup, or the service restarts. Proxy responses can also be cached by the browser or hosting infrastructure under their response headers. Browser-stored recent-search information remains under your control and can be cleared in browser settings. External providers' retention is governed by their own policies.
The Service uses Apify and its configured public-media retrieval providers to respond to supported lookups. A submitted username is passed to those services; the browser-local recent-search list is not uploaded as a list. External providers process lookup inputs and returned public data under their own terms and retention practices. StoryPeek's short-lived cache does not mean that an external provider retains no records.
The Service also links to third-party websites. Their content, availability, and privacy practices are governed by their own terms and policies. StoryPeek does not control those external services or a platform's account settings. See Apify's privacy information.
StoryPeek is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek personal information from children. Do not submit personal, financial, or private-account information through the Service.
We may update this policy when the Service, its data practices, or applicable requirements change. The current version and its "Last updated" date are published on this page.
The Help and Site Information page links to the current self-service guidance, Terms of Use, and original editorial material. StoryPeek does not currently publish a monitored support email address or a contact form.
