Privacy and your data¶

What happens to the words you write in Nabu — in plain language, with links to the full promises.

You came here to finish a screenplay, not to read legal fine print. So here is the short version first: your words are yours. Nabu does not train AI on your writing. The longer explanations live on a few dedicated pages, and this page points you to each of them and tells you what's in it.

Your words are yours¶

Nabu makes one clear promise about your creative work, and it has its own page so you can read it without wading through legalese: Your Words Are Yours.

The promise, in plain terms:

Nabu never trains AI on your screenplay text. That covers your scenes, treatments, synopses, notes, your conversations with Nisaba (your AI writing partner), and any AI-written text you accept into your script.
What Nabu does look at is "shape and choices," not your prose — things like counts, ratios, and whether you accepted or rejected a suggestion. Never the actual words of your story.
You stay in control. There is a single privacy switch you can flip (see below), and you can download or delete everything you've written.

To read the full promise — including what "never" covers, what we do collect, why we collect it, and your controls — open the Your Words Are Yours page in the app. It's a public page, so you can read it any time, even when you're signed out.

Note: Have a privacy question that isn't answered there? The page lists a contact address — privacy@nabu.page — for exactly that.

The one privacy switch¶

There is a single setting that controls whether Nabu may learn from the shape of your choices.

Go to Settings → Account (your profile page).
Under Data & Privacy, you'll find one checkbox: Share structure & choice signals to improve Nabu.
Leave it on to help Nabu improve, or turn it off if you'd rather it didn't. Either way, your prose is never used — this switch is only about the metadata described above.

For a full tour of that page, including downloading and deleting your data, see Your profile and account.

The legal pages¶

Two pages cover the formal, legally-binding details. They're written as legal documents rather than friendly guides, so this manual links to them rather than reproducing them — the version in the app is always the current one.

Privacy Policy — the binding policy describing who Nabu is, what it collects, and how that data is handled. It's the legal counterpart to Your Words Are Yours, and it's effective-dated so you can see when it last changed.
Terms of Service — the terms you agree to by using Nabu, including a section on Your Content.

Both are public pages you can open without signing in. The easiest way to reach them is from the Your Words Are Yours page, which links to both the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service. The same two links also appear at the bottom of every email Nabu sends you.

Tip: If you only read one of these, read Your Words Are Yours — it's the plain-language version a writer actually wants, and it points to the two legal pages when you need the formal wording.

Email and unsubscribing¶

Nabu sends a few kinds of email, and you have control over most of them.

Marketing and update emails can be turned off. Every such email includes an unsubscribe link; clicking it takes you to the Unsubscribe page, which confirms you're unsubscribed. The unsubscribe link inside those emails is the way to opt out — there's no separate email switch elsewhere in the app.
Turning marketing email back on isn't yet self-serve. If you unsubscribe and later change your mind, email rufus@nabu.page and ask to be re-subscribed.
Transactional emails can't be turned off. These are the ones you need to use your account safely: sign-in links, security alerts, billing receipts, and account-change confirmations. Because they keep your account working, the unsubscribe link doesn't apply to them.

Note: If the Unsubscribe page shows an error instead of a confirmation, the link may have expired (these links are good for about a year) or been mistyped. The page includes a help address you can email if you're stuck.

Settings → Notifications is a separate thing: it controls which in-app notifications you see — toasts and activity-feed entries for things like pipeline progress, AI updates, and continuity checks — not email. For a full tour of those in-app controls, see Notifications.

Good to know¶

The privacy promise applies to everyone, all the time. It isn't a setting you have to find and switch on — Nabu never trains AI on your prose by default. The one switch above is only about the anonymous shape-and-choice signals.
You can take your work with you. From Settings → Account you can Download all your data as a single file at any time. See Your profile and account.
Deleting your account is reversible for a short window. Account deletion has a grace period — signing back in during it cancels the deletion. The full steps are on the profile page under the Danger Zone.

Your profile and account — the privacy switch, data download, and account deletion, with step-by-step instructions.
Notifications — choose which in-app messages and alerts you see (toasts and the activity feed). This is separate from email.
Frequently asked questions — "Does Nabu train AI on my script?" and other common worries, answered briefly.
