How we use your writing
Plain English. No legalese. If you want the full legal version, see Section 5 of the Terms of Service.
Who owns the stories?
You do.
You keep all copyright in the writing you bring to Fractal Flow and in the work you create with it. You can publish, sell, license, or post your stories anywhere you want. You owe us no royalty. We make no claim of authorship. Your stories are yours — full stop.
Do you use my writing to train AI?
Yes — in aggregate, to build better writing and editing tools.
Your sentences, the way you fix a clunky paragraph, the structures you use for a chapter, the places you correct the AI when it gets your character wrong — that kind of signal, gathered across many writers, is what teaches a writing model to be a better writing partner. We pool that material into large datasets and train on patterns. It is the only way to build a tool that actually helps novelists.
Will my novel show up inside the model?
No — not as a retrievable copy.
Trained AI models do not store your manuscript and cannot reproduce it on demand. They learn patterns of how good prose works, not the text of any particular book. Other users will not see your story coming back at them. Your work is never tagged with your name or account inside the model.
What if I delete my account?
Future training stops. Past training cannot be reversed.
When you delete your account, or specific content, we remove that content from our active systems within a reasonable period and we do not use it in any new training runs we start after that. But content that has already been folded into a trained or in-training model cannot be pulled back out — that is just how the math of these models works.
If that matters to you, the right time to decide is before you submit content, not after.
Can I use Fractal Flow without my writing being used for training?
The training use is part of the standard Service today. If we offer a way to opt out in the future, we will say so clearly here and in the Terms.
Can you publish my work or sell it as your own?
No. We have no right to do that. We do not claim authorship of anything you write. We do not put your work in front of customers as something we wrote. The license you give us when you sign up is for running the product and improving the AI — not for taking your story.
Where is the legal version of all this?
In Section 5 of the Terms of Service. If anything in this page seems to disagree with the Terms, the Terms control. We tried to write this page so that does not happen.
