Privacy Policy

We collect the little that is needed to make a story feel like it was written for your child. We do not sell it, we do not advertise, and we use no third-party tracking or analytics.

About your child: a first name and age, and optionally a favourite animal, colour, thing they love, and a story preference. All of it is optional except the name and age, and a nickname works perfectly well.

About you: an email address, only if you create an account. There is no password — we email you a sign-in link instead.

The stories themselves: the text of each adventure and the choices made, so they can be read again without being regenerated.

We do not collect location, contacts, photos, device identifiers for advertising, or any behavioural profile.

Everything is stored in our database, hosted by Supabase in Sydney, Australia. It is readable only by your own account, and that is enforced by the database itself rather than only by the app.

This includes stories made before you give us an email address. When you first open the app we create a guest account for you automatically, so that a story is saved the moment it is made. Your child's profile and every story are kept in that account from the start.

A guest account has no email on it, so it cannot be recovered. It is tied to the browser you opened the app in: if you clear that browser or move to another device you lose access to it permanently, though the stories themselves remain in our database until they are deleted. Adding an email address later keeps the same account and everything already in it, and makes it reachable from any device.

Anthropic — your child's name, age and favourites are sent with each request so the story can be written around them. Anthropic processes this to generate the story.

Supabase — stores accounts and saved stories.

Resend — delivers sign-in emails. It sees your email address, never your child's details.

Vercel — hosts the app and, like any web host, processes standard request logs.

No one else. We do not share or sell data to anybody.

This app is meant to be set up and used by a parent or guardian. The account belongs to the adult, not the child. We ask for a child's first name and age only to shape the story, and we would rather you used a nickname than a full name.

You can sign out at any time from Settings. To delete everything, go to Settings and choose Delete my account. It removes your account, your child's profile and every saved story immediately, and cannot be undone.

On a guest account — one with no email address on it yet — that option is not offered in the app today. Adding an email address keeps the same account and everything in it, and makes deletion available. You can also write to us at the address below and we will remove it.

Clearing your browser is not the same as deleting. It ends your access to a guest account, but the stories stay in our database until they are deleted.
