Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 15, 2026 • Effective Immediately
🛡️ Our Core Privacy Promises to Parents
1. Commitment to Children's Privacy (COPPA and GDPR-K)
Wee Stories ("we", "us", "our") is designed specifically for young children aged 3 to 7. We adhere strictly to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the General Data Protection Regulation for Children (GDPR-K), and Apple App Store Review Guidelines.
- No Voice Recordings Retained: Speech interactions are processed in real time solely to interpret your child's story choices. We never record, sell, transmit, or retain raw child audio files.
- No Children's PII: We never ask for, collect, or store a child's full legal name, physical address, email, or telephone number.
- Anonymous Identity by Default: Children interact with Wee Stories through an anonymous session identifier created on launch.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only the minimum necessary information required to create personal story universes:
A. Information Provided by Parents
- First Name or Nickname: An optional first name or nickname (e.g. "Jack") used by narrators and characters inside the story dialogue.
- Age Group Preference: Selected by parents (e.g. "Ages 3 to 4" or "Ages 5 to 7") to ensure age-appropriate vocabulary and themes.
- Family Photos (Optional): Photos of your child, family members, or pets uploaded by parents solely to illustrate characters in your private storybooks.
B. Account & Entitlement Data
- Parent Authentication (Optional): If you choose to create a cloud backup via Sign in with Apple or Google SSO, we store your account email and user ID to synchronize story worlds across your family's devices.
- Subscription Status: Managed securely via Apple App Store in-app purchases and RevenueCat. We store active subscription tier identifiers.
C. Story Universes & Living Canon
- Narrative Memory: Character names, favorite imaginary locations, and past adventures are securely saved in Cloud Firestore so story worlds remember your child's choices over time.
3. Photo Upload & AI Processing Safeguards
We understand the profound trust parents place in us when uploading a photo of their child. We treat this data with the highest security standards:
- Private Use Only: Photos uploaded to Wee Stories are used exclusively to generate stylized storybook illustrations for your private family account.
- No Public AI Training: Your child's images and prompts are never used to train public artificial intelligence models.
- Encrypted Storage: Images are stored in private, access-controlled cloud storage secured by Google Cloud security protocols.
- Instant Deletion: Parents can delete any uploaded photo or character profile at any time directly within the app.
4. How We Use Information
We use collected data solely to:
- Generate personalized, voice-led interactive storybooks.
- Maintain living world continuity and character relationships across visits.
- Validate subscription entitlements and restore purchases.
- Monitor technical stability and diagnose crashes via Firebase Crashlytics.
We do not sell, rent, monetize, or broker personal information. We do not conduct behavioral tracking, cross-site advertising, or profiling.
5. Third-Party Infrastructure Partners
We partner with trusted cloud infrastructure providers bound by strict confidentiality and data protection agreements:
- Google Firebase: User authentication, encrypted database storage (Firestore), and crash diagnostics.
- Apple App Store: In-app purchase processing and secure identity tokens (Sign in with Apple).
- RevenueCat: In-app subscription validation and receipt verification.
- OpenAI: Generative text narration and text-to-speech rendering. Prompts contain no PII; inputs are processed per OpenAI API privacy terms (no model training on API data).
6. Parent Controls & Full Data Deletion Rights
Parents hold complete control over their family's data at all times:
- Sign Out Anytime: Parents may disconnect authenticated accounts at any time from the Profile Screen.
- In-App Deletion: You can permanently delete any character, photo, or story universe directly in the app.
- Complete Account Purge: You may request the immediate deletion of your entire account, story history, and cloud data by emailing us at
