Privacy
Every generation you run on Fawna is private by default. Nothing you make shows up anywhere public unless you explicitly publish it. This page covers the controls, what they share, and what stays private.
Private by default
New chats, storyboards, and timelines are all private. Only you can see them. Private work does not appear in Explore, does not show up on your profile, and is not indexed by search.
Making something public
Publication is per-object and always opt-in:
- Chats (in Image & Video Generation): three-dot menu in the sidebar → Toggle public. Public chats appear on your profile and can be found in Explore.
- Storyboards: storyboard settings panel → privacy toggle. A public storyboard shows its title, scenes, and final video on your profile.
- Individual generations: three-dot menu on a specific generation → Make public. Available even inside an otherwise private chat.
What is shared when you go public
Public objects show:
- The prompt text.
- The model tier used.
- The final output (image or video).
- Your public username (if set).
- Creation date.
Public objects do not show:
- Your reference images (character refs, style plates, face images).
- Your negative prompt.
- Any private notes on the chat or storyboard.
- Your email, full name, or billing information.
- Deleted or reverted versions of the work.
Remix and derivative work
Public objects have a Remix button on their three-dot menu. When a different creator remixes your work, a new chat opens in their account with the same prompt, tier, and settings pre-filled. They can modify and regenerate.
Remixing is not plagiarism: the original publication stays attributed to you. Remixed versions are attributed to the remixer. A small Remixed from link on the remixed output points back to the original.
Data use and training
Fawna does not use your prompts or generated content to train models. Your work is yours. Fawna passes prompts to the underlying provider (Google, Anthropic, Replicate-hosted models, etc.) under provider-level agreements that opt out of training wherever possible.
For the specific opt-out status of each provider, see the privacy page at
/account/privacy (inside the app).
Reference images
Reference images you upload (character refs, style plates, face photos) are private. They are stored on Fawna's servers, used only to run your generations, and never shared with other users. They are included in backups for the duration of your account.
Deleting a reference from your Library deletes the file from Fawna's storage. It may persist in backups for up to 30 days before being purged.
Deleting your data
Every object (chat, storyboard, timeline, asset) has a Delete action in its three-dot menu. Deleted objects are removed immediately from the app and from Fawna's main storage. Backups roll over within 30 days.
For full account deletion, see the Account settings page at /account/. A confirmation email is
sent; click the link within 24 hours to confirm permanent deletion.
Your public profile
Your profile at /u/<username> shows everything you have made public: storyboards, chats,
and individual generations. The rest stays private. Profile visibility is tied to having a username
(settable in Account settings). Without a username, you cannot publish anything (no attribution surface).
Reporting content
Every public object has a flag icon for reporting abuse. Reports go to moderation. Typical response time is within 24 hours. Violations of the content policy result in content removal and, for repeat violators, account action.
