Clear answers before you begin

No. FurRemain is a private pet memory book, not a public profile or memorial directory. Your story is not published to a discoverable public list, and search engines are not allowed to index private story pages. You can download the archive or keep it entirely for yourself. There is no follower count, public comment section, or profile visitors list.

Only you, any contributor you invite through a separate private link, and people you later choose to share with through a read-only link. Contributors cannot see your first-act answers or one another's memories. The final share link is unlisted, and you can rotate or disable it from story settings.

The first act and basic exports are free. You can answer the guided questions, edit the narrative, and download a PDF, JSON file, and original-photo ZIP without paying. One optional payment of $19.99 adds private family collaboration, the final designed storybook, and a shareable read-only link for that story.

Yes. The free archive includes your confirmed narrative, answers, JSON data, and original uploaded photographs. After the final storybook is confirmed, the paid archive also includes included contributions and the finished designed PDF. Downloads are private to your creator session and are not stored as permanent public files. The JSON file gives you a portable record if you later stop using FurRemain.

No. The AI is constrained to organize only the details you wrote. It is not allowed to add events, people, quotes, dialogue, dates, habits, or thoughts for your pet. The draft remains editable, and you must explicitly confirm the version you want to keep. If the writing assistant is unavailable, you can continue manually.

Yes. After the optional purchase, the creator can invite up to five active contributors. Each person receives a separate private link and can submit a memory and optional photograph without creating an account. You review every submission and decide whether it is included and whether the contributor's name is shown. You can also finish the storybook without waiting for every invitation to be used.

Yes. The creator can request permanent deletion of the story, invited contributions, private photographs, exports, recovery indexes, and the active share link. The interface uses explicit confirmation to prevent accidental removal. Financial records required for payment reconciliation may be retained, but they do not contain the private story text or photographs.

No account or password is required. You can begin immediately and use an email address only when you need a payment receipt or a way to request a new access link. The email does not need to be verified before payment, but a valid address is important for recovery and customer support. A creator session is stored in a secure browser cookie so you can return to the story on the same device.
