Privacy policy

Last updated 13 November 2026

The short version. Fablefork has no accounts, no adverts and no tracking. The app doesn’t collect information about you or your child, and we don’t sell or share anything. Your progress and settings stay on your own device. The only information we receive is what you choose to send us, such as a request to join the beta.

Who we are

Fablefork is made by CHAG UK Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 14504551), with its registered office at Bollin House, Bollin Walk, Wilmslow, SK9 1DP. We are responsible for how your information is handled under UK data protection law. You can contact us at hello@playfablefork.com.

What stays on your device

Everything you do in Fablefork is saved on your own phone or tablet, and never sent to us. That includes:

• the names you give your hero, your companions and your ship, horse or bike;
• your progress through each world, your endings and your achievements;
• your settings, such as text size, music, sound effects and your reading voice;
• your family settings, including the family PIN.

If you delete the app, this information is deleted with it, and we can’t recover it, unless a grown-up has chosen to use a family account (below).

Family account (optional)

A grown-up can choose to sign in to a family account in Family settings, which a child can’t reach without answering a grown-ups’ question or entering the family PIN. Fablefork works fully without one. A family account keeps your family’s progress, settings and unlocked worlds the same on every phone, tablet and computer you sign in on.

If you sign in, we keep:

• the grown-up’s email address, to send a sign-in code;
• a copy of what Fablefork saves on your device, as listed above: progress, endings, achievements, settings (including the family PIN, stored as you set it) and which worlds are unlocked. Saved progress includes the names typed for the hero and companions, so we suggest children use made-up names.

We don’t ask for, or keep, a child’s name, age, photo, location or contact details, and we don’t use any of this for advertising or profiling. Our legal basis is that you’ve asked for the service (contract), and we only use the information to keep your devices in step.

The account is kept on Cloudflare’s servers, and sign-in codes are sent by Resend; both act on our instructions. In Family settings you can download everything in your account, or delete it at any time, which removes it from our servers straight away (backups within 30 days). Progress on your device stays there. If an account isn’t used for three years, we delete it.

Reading aloud

When you turn on reading aloud, Fablefork uses the voices built into your device. On most devices the voice works entirely on the device. Some devices offer online voices from Apple, Google or Microsoft; if you choose one of those, the text of the page is sent to that company to be spoken, under its own privacy policy.

Hands-free and the microphone

Hands-free lets you choose by speaking. It only listens when you turn it on, and your device asks for permission to use the microphone first. Your device’s own speech recognition turns what you say into text, and on some devices this is done by Apple or Google. Fablefork receives only the words, uses them to pick your choice, and keeps nothing.

Purchases

You can download Fablefork and play two worlds free. Other worlds can be unlocked with one-off in-app purchases, which are handled entirely by Google Play. If you buy a world in your browser at play.playfablefork.com, the purchase is handled by Lemon Squeezy, which sells it on our behalf and takes payment under its own privacy policy. Lemon Squeezy emails you an unlock code; when you use it, the code and a random reference for that device are checked with Lemon Squeezy, and we keep nothing else about you. We never see your payment details.

To unlock worlds and let you restore purchases on a new device, we use a service called RevenueCat, which receives a record of what was bought and a random identifier for your copy of the app. It doesn’t receive your name, email address or payment details.

Asking to join the beta

If you use the form to ask for a place in the beta (for children, please use a parent’s details), we receive your name, the email address you give and anything you add in the note. These are stored with our hosting provider, Cloudflare, along with when you sent them, and we’re sent an email to let us know, through an email service called Resend. To stop one connection sending lots of requests, we also keep a one-way code made from your IP address, which can’t be turned back into the address itself.

We use your details only to reply to you and, if you join, to give you access. To have them deleted, email us.

Feedback

At the end of an adventure, you can choose to send us feedback. This opens your own email app with a message ready to send, behind a grown-ups-only question. If you send it, we receive your email address and whatever you write, and use them only to read and reply to your message. We delete feedback emails after two years.

Children

Fablefork is made for families, with worlds for children from 6 upwards. Because we don’t collect information from anyone, we don’t collect information from children. Anything that leaves the app, such as sending feedback or making a purchase, is protected by a question for grown-ups. Parents can also use family settings to hide worlds above a chosen age.

This website

This website doesn’t use cookies, analytics or adverts. It’s hosted by Cloudflare, which keeps short-lived technical logs (such as IP addresses) to keep the site secure and working.

Your rights

You have rights over your information under UK data protection law, including the right to ask what we hold about you and to ask us to delete it. In practice, the only information we could hold about you is an email you’ve sent us. To ask about it, email hello@playfablefork.com.

If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Changes to this policy

If we change how Fablefork handles information, we’ll update this page and the date at the top before the change happens.
