Who we are

Again Again is made by Gatis Latkovskis, an independent developer based in the United Arab Emirates. On this page, “we” means him.

Questions about your data, or requests about it, go to hello@againagain.app.

What we keep

Signing in

• With Sign in with Apple, Apple gives us an identifier for you that only our apps receive, and your email address if you choose to share it. If you choose Hide My Email, we keep no address for you. We also keep, encrypted, the token Apple gives us for ending Again Again’s Sign in with Apple access, so that deleting your account can end it.
• With email, we keep your address and send your sign-in codes to it.
• A record of each time you sign in, so you stay signed in on that device.

Your name and your family

• The name you’d like to be called, if you give one. Your family sees it, and invitations you send use it. It never goes into a book.
• Who is in your family, and the invitations sent from it: the address invited, who sent it and when.

Your ideas and your books

• What you choose when you make a book: your idea, the kind of book, its language, the number of pages, the picture style and roughly how old the reader is.
• The book itself: its words, pictures and cover.
• A record of how the book was made — each step’s instructions and results, how long it took and what it cost — so we can fix problems and keep costs in check.

Our world

The names, notes and photos you save in Our world. Only people in your family can see them. They aren’t used in books yet, and they aren’t sent to OpenAI, DeepInfra or any other company that helps make books. The app uses the camera only when you take a photo for Our world.

Trying the app before you sign in

Each new installation can make one book without an account. To make sure of that, Apple’s App Attest confirms the app is genuine, and we keep the key it creates for your installation. When you sign in, that first book moves into your family’s library.

Notifications

If you turn on notifications, we keep the address Apple gives us for sending them to your device, with a random identifier for the app on that device. A notification says only that a book is ready or couldn’t be made, never its title. Turning notifications off in the app stops them.

Subscriptions

Apple takes the payment. We never see your card or your Apple Account. Apple sends us a signed record of each purchase and renewal: which subscription it is, when it started and ends, its price and currency, the country of the App Store, whether it will renew, and Apple’s reference numbers for it. A random code, made when you start a purchase, connects it to your family and to the person who started it.

Email

We send only sign-in codes, codes for changing your address, and family invitations. For each one we keep a short record — the address, the kind of message and whether it was delivered — but not its contents. Our emails don’t track whether they’re opened or clicked.

Service records

Our servers record each request: what was asked, the result, how long it took, and our own reference numbers for the account and book involved. They don’t record your IP address. To limit how many sign-in emails one connection can ask for, we keep a scrambled fingerprint of it instead of the address itself. This website keeps no visitor logs.

Who else sees it

• OpenAI receives your idea and choices, and the book as it’s made, to check the idea, write the words and draw the pictures and cover.
• DeepInfra receives a copy of each finished book made while signed in, with the idea it came from, for an automatic check of how well its words and pictures fit together. We keep the result for our own records. It doesn’t change your book.
• Amazon Web Services runs our service in the United States, stores what we keep and sends our email.
• Apple provides Sign in with Apple, App Attest, notifications and App Store purchases, under Apple’s own privacy policy.
• Anyone with a share link can read that book. About share links

OpenAI’s data controls say it keeps what we send in abuse-monitoring logs for up to 30 days by default, and longer when the law requires it or when that’s reasonably necessary to protect its services or others from harm. It also runs an automatic safety check on the pictures it receives and keeps any picture the check flags for manual review. DeepInfra’s data privacy page says it doesn’t store what we send to the model we use, and doesn’t log its content.

Neither OpenAI nor DeepInfra uses what we send to train its models: every option to share it with OpenAI is turned off in our OpenAI settings, and DeepInfra says it doesn’t train on it.

We don’t show advertising, and we don’t sell what we keep.

Share links

When you share a book, we make a reading copy of it: its title, words, pictures and cover. Nothing else about your family, your account or your idea goes into it. If the book’s words mention your child by name, so does the copy.

Anyone who has the link can read that copy in a web browser, without signing in. There’s no way to switch off a share link. It keeps working after the book is removed from your shelf, and after you delete your account, for as long as anyone is still in your family. When nobody is left, your family’s share links stop working as its books are erased. If another family also has the book on its shelf, that family keeps its own copy, but your family’s links still stop. A link shared before 1 October 2026 may keep working until we have checked which family it belongs to. Anyone who saved a copy of the book or its pictures keeps that copy.

Search engines are asked not to list shared books, but that’s a request, not a lock. The link itself is the only protection, so share it only with people you’d show the book to.

How long we keep things

• Your name, email address and sign-in: until you delete your account.
• Your family’s books, the ideas they came from, and Our world: while anyone is in your family. When nobody is left, they’re erased. What you can do
• Records of what books cost and of subscription purchases: kept after your account is deleted, without your name, email address or sign-in, so that costs and purchases are counted correctly.
• Records of how a book was made: usually about 90 days after the book is finished. The idea and choices stay with the book.
• Service records and email records: 30 days.
• Backups: database backups for 14 days, so something erased can remain in a backup until it expires. A stored file that is removed or replaced can be recovered for 30 days; erasing deletes those copies too.
• Sign-in codes stop working after 10 minutes, and invitations after three days.

What you can change

• Remove a book. Remove from library takes it off your family’s shelf. It doesn’t erase the stored book or stop a share link. A removed book is erased with the rest when nobody is left in your family.
• Remove something from Our world. It leaves your family’s list, but its name, notes and photo aren’t erased until nobody is left in your family.
• Delete your account. In Account, Your details, Delete account erases your name, email address and sign-in, and signs you out everywhere. If you use Sign in with Apple, it also ends Again Again’s Sign in with Apple access; you may be asked to confirm with your Apple ID first. Your family’s books and Our world stay with anyone else in it. If nobody else is left, its books, the ideas they came from and Our world are erased, and its share links stop working. A book another family has on its shelf stays with that family. Signing up again starts a new account.
• Erasing isn’t instant. It happens in the background, and the app shows when it’s done. Until then, pictures from a shared book can still be reachable from copies cached on the way to readers. Afterwards we keep only the records we still need: what books cost, subscription purchases, a record of the deletion, and that your installation already had its free book. None of them includes your name, email address or sign-in. Copies in our backups, our logs and with the companies that help make books go when those expire (see How long we keep things). Copies someone downloaded, printed or saved, and emails already delivered, can’t be recalled.
• A subscription carries on when you delete your account. Cancel it in your Apple subscription settings.
• Turn off notifications in the app, or in your device’s Settings.

Children

Again Again is for parents and other grown-ups making books to read with a child. It asks only roughly how old the reader is. Anything you type about a child, like their name, becomes part of that book and any shared copy of it. A book doesn’t need a child’s full name to be a good one.

Changes

When the app changes what it keeps or who sees it, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
