Then watch your story turn into illustrations.

Find the moments

Your story becomes 2–4 vivid moments — picked from the details you shared.

3

See them illustrated

Each moment becomes an illustrated scene with a title and caption.

Privacy

Last updated 21 May 2026 · Draft — pending legal review

What we store

  • Your email address (provided either directly or via Google sign-in).
  • If you sign in with Google: your Google account email, Google user ID, and the timestamp of sign-in. We do not receive or store your Google password.
  • Sign-in timestamps and a hashed version of the User-Agent string of the device used.
  • Your stories — the narrated story text, moments, cast names, art style, and generated images.
  • Uploaded cast photos, in the smallest size needed to re-run generation.

Cookies and local storage

  • pikumoSessionToken (local storage) — keeps you signed in across visits.
  • pikumoAnonToken (local storage) — links an anonymous story to your account if you sign in later.
  • pikumoWebDraftV1 (local storage) — saves your in-progress story so a refresh doesn't lose it.
  • pikumo_oauth_state (short-lived cookie) — set only during Google sign-in to prevent cross-site request forgery; cleared automatically after sign-in completes.

We don't use any third-party advertising or marketing cookies.

How long we keep it

  • Email and stories: for the life of your account.
  • Sign-in logs: 90 days.
  • Anonymous preview stories: 30 days (set by PERMALINK_TTL_DAYS).
  • Uploaded photos: deleted from our storage when the story expires.

How we use AI providers

We send your story text and uploaded photos to Google (Gemini API) to extract moments and generate illustrations. Google may process this data under their own privacy policy; we do not opt in to model training on your content.

We send story-delivery emails through Resend.

Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)

If you are in the EU/EEA, UK, or California, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict our processing of it. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] from your signed-in address.

How to delete your data

Email [email protected] from the address you signed in with. We'll delete your account and all stored data within 14 days, and reply when it's done.

What we don't do

No advertising. No sale of data. No third-party trackers beyond standard error monitoring.

Using Pikumo

By using Pikumo you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service. You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to create an account.

Acceptable use

  • Don't generate stories about identifiable third parties without their consent.
  • Don't generate content involving minors in ways that violate the model provider's policy.
  • Don't try to bypass the watermark on anonymous previews.
  • Don't upload content you don't have the right to use (including others' photos).
  • Don't use Pikumo for harassment, impersonation, or content prohibited by our AI provider's usage policies.

Generation limits

Signed-in accounts can generate up to 3 stories per rolling 7-day window. The counter resets 7 days after your most recent eligible generation. Anonymous use is unmetered but may be rate-limited.

Your content

You own the stories you create and the illustrations Pikumo generates from them. You grant us a limited license to store, process, and display your content as needed to run the service (including sending it to our AI providers to generate illustrations). You can ask us to delete your account and content at any time — see the Privacy page.

AI-generated illustrations

Pikumo uses third-party AI models. Outputs may occasionally contain inaccuracies, artifacts, or details that don't perfectly match your story. Generated illustrations are creative interpretations, not photographs.

Disclaimer and liability

Pikumo is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (currently, that's $0).

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If we make material changes, we'll show a notice in-product and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

If you break these rules

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. Questions: [email protected].

This is a draft. A reviewed, jurisdiction-specific version will replace it before public launch.
