Privacy Policy

The short version

Only grown-ups use this site. We ask for as little as we can about the child (a first name, an age and a short description), never photos, and we use it only to make your book. We don't sell or share it for advertising, and we delete it with the book.

What we collect

• About the child, typed by you: first name, age, what they love, what they look like, a lesson, other people or pets in the story, a dedication. Optional: how to say the name.
• About you: your email, and for a printed book the shipping name, address and phone number (the courier needs them). Stripe handles your card; we never see the card number.
• Site visits: a count of visits without tracking cookies, and a link tag (like "from=facebook") so we know which ads work.

Who it goes to

• AI services that write the story (Anthropic's Claude) and paint the pictures and make the voice (our own workers on Modal). They get the story details, not your email or address.
• Stripe for payment, and our printing partner (Lulu) for printed books: the print files and the shipping address.
• Email service (Resend, or Gmail as a backup) to send you your book.

Nobody else. We never sell personal information.

How long we keep it

The book and the child's details are deleted 365 days after the book is ready, right away if you get a full refund, and 2 days after an order that was never paid. We keep a short order record (date, price, email) for our tax records.

Children

The site is meant for adults. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you think a child used the site, email us and we'll delete it.
