With umpteen number of AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools being released lately, it can be a daunting task to keep track of what’s new. NovelAI is the new kid on the block, aimed at helping writers, artists, and storytellers bring their visions to life with amazing efficiency and imagination. At its core, this is a sophisticated language model capable of generating human-quality text. But what differentiates NovelAI from any other AI writer is its fluency, creativity, and vocabulary because it is trained on a massive dataset of books and articles.
With NovelAI, users have the option to provide their specific guidelines, such as genre, characters, plot points, or even writing style, and the service will generate text accordingly. Beyond text generation, the platform also offers image generation capabilities, allowing users to create visual companions for their stories. Such a clever integration of text and image generation makes it a versatile tool for a wide range of creative projects. And as technology continues to evolve, NovelAI will also improve its capabilities, leading to enhanced human productivity.
Having said that, there’s no denying that over-reliance on AI programs such as NovelAI can hurt human creativity in the long run, and if you are looking to erase all your associated personal data with the platform, then our all-inclusive guide should be a great starting point.
What You Should Do to Delete Your History
Since NovelAI generates text as well as images based on the input from the user, your personal data on the platform will contain history from both the text and the image generation modules. Steps for erasing history from each module have been conveniently provided for you to follow.
Deleting Text or Story History
- Begin your journey by first entering your credentials to log in to your NovelAI account.
- After signing in, click on the ‘Story’ tab, and you will be presented with your list of stories or text that you have generated so far on the platform.
- Click on the story that you specifically want to delete, and once it opens, from the ‘Right Panel > Options’ scroll to the bottom.
- You will then find the option to delete your story. Once you click on it, a pop-up window will appear, asking for your confirmation. And as soon as you click on ‘Delete It!’, your story or text will be deleted forever.
Deleting Image History
- Start by first signing into your NovelAI account.
- Once logged in, head over to your ‘Image Generation’ page, and from there, you will find the ‘History’ tab located on the right side of your screen. Keep in mind that your images are only saved in history while you remain in a single session, meaning that if you refresh or leave the page, all the images in your history will be automatically erased.
- Hover your cursor over a specific image under the ‘History’ tab and you will find the option to delete it (denoted by the ‘X’ button on every image).
- Once you click on the ‘X’ button, a pop-up will come up asking for confirmation, after which your image will be deleted. In this way, you will be able to delete your image history one-by-one.
Want to Close Your Account?
If you want to go a step further and delete all your related personal data with NovelAI, then deleting or closing your account should be the way to go. To start the account closure process, follow the suggested steps below.
- The primary step involves heading over to the official website.
- Sign in using your credentials and then head over to the ‘User Settings > Account’ tab.
- Scroll down until you reach the ‘Delete Account’ option, and then proceed to click on it. A confirmation/verification email will be sent to your registered email ID.
- Once you enter the confirmation or verification code, your account will be deleted forever.
What You Should Know of the Privacy Policy
NovelAI has developed a robust privacy policy for its users that not only ensures their security but also helps in maintaining their trust. The policy clearly states that user content will only be accessed by the company in the event of a legal requirement, without obtaining express permission from the user. In addition to that, no data will be shared with third parties except for processing payments or as required by law. In such cases, the user will be notified regarding the same.
When it comes to the security and storage of user information, all data will be stored on the servers of Anlatan (the parent company of NovelAI) as well as the servers of companies that provide services to Anlatan and NovelAI. It should be known that your personal data will be stored for as long as you have an active account on the platform. And if you choose to delete your account, all your associated data (that does not have a justifiable business reason) will be erased as well.
Lastly, Anlatan and NovelAI always make changes to their privacy policies, for which you will be notified 30 days in advance.
