Privacy Policy
Last updated 11 November 2026
StoryLoop (storyloop.dawnlights.in) is operated by Dawnlights, India. It is an in-house tool that only the Dawnlights team uses to make short animated videos and publish them on Dawnlights’ own YouTube, Instagram and Facebook accounts. It is not offered to the public and has no public user accounts. This policy explains what data it handles and why.
What we handle
From the accounts we connect. StoryLoop only connects to social media accounts that Dawnlights owns. For each one it keeps:
- Instagram (Instagram API with Instagram Login): the account's ID and username, an access token, the IDs and links of the reels we publish, and their statistics (views, reach, likes, comments, shares, saves and average watch time).
- Facebook (Facebook Login and the Pages API): the Page's ID and name, a Page access token, the IDs and links of the reels we publish, and their statistics (plays, average watch time, reactions, comments and shares).
- YouTube (YouTube Data API and YouTube Analytics API): the channel's ID and name, OAuth tokens, the IDs of the videos we upload, and their statistics (views, watch time, likes, comments and shares).
About viewers. We don't collect personal information about the people who watch our videos. When planning new stories, StoryLoop reads the text of recent public comments on our own Instagram reels to see what viewers ask for. It doesn't store commenters' names or IDs, and the comment text isn't kept after planning.
Team sign-in. The dashboard uses one cookie to keep the Dawnlights team signed in. There are no analytics, advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
How we use it
- To publish our own videos to our own channels.
- To measure how our videos perform and make better ones.
- To keep our connections to those channels working (for example, refreshing tokens before they expire).
We don't sell data, use it for advertising, or share it with anyone except the service providers below.
Service providers
- Amazon Web Services (United States): hosting, database and file storage.
- Google Cloud (Vertex AI): generating images, video, music and voices, and analysing reference videos we choose.
- Anthropic (Claude): writing story ideas and scripts and checking image quality. When planning, it receives the comment text described above.
- RunPod: GPU rendering of animation. It receives only images and scene descriptions, never account data.
Videos we publish are also governed by the policies of Meta (Instagram, Facebook) and Google (YouTube).
Google and YouTube data
StoryLoop uses YouTube API Services. Its use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. See also the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. Access can be revoked at any time from your Google account's third-party connections.
How long we keep it
- Access tokens: until the account is disconnected in StoryLoop or access is revoked on the platform.
- Post IDs and statistics: while we need them to compare our videos' performance, or until deletion is requested.
- Comment text: not stored.
- Backups: removed automatically after 30 days.
Security
Data is stored encrypted at rest and sent over HTTPS. Tokens stay on our server and are never shown in the dashboard. Only the Dawnlights team can sign in.
Your choices
You can revoke StoryLoop's access on Instagram, Facebook or Google at any time, or ask us to delete data. The data deletion page explains how.
Children
StoryLoop isn't used by children and doesn't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
