👋 1. Introduction
Welcome to MagicTales ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a safe, ad-free environment for you and your family. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use the MagicTales mobile application (the "App").
👨👩👧 2. A Special Note to Parents
MagicTales is built entirely with children's safety in mind.
- No Ads: We do not show any third-party advertisements.
- No Tracking: We do not track your child's behavior across other apps or websites.
- Parental Gate: Account creation and login are strictly restricted to parents or guardians.
📋 3. Information We Collect
We only collect the absolute minimum amount of data required to make the App work:
- Parent Information: When you log in via our secure magic link system, we collect your email address. This is used solely to authenticate your account, save your family's story library, and send necessary account notifications.
- Child Profile Information: To personalize the experience, parents can create profiles for their children. We collect a display name or initial (e.g., "K" or "B") and an age range (e.g., "4–6 yrs"). We explicitly advise against using your child's full real name.
- Story Generation Data: When creating a story, the App collects the selected parameters (Language, Subject, Moral, Tone, and Character Initial).
🤖 4. How We Use Artificial Intelligence
MagicTales uses third-party Artificial Intelligence (AI) to generate unique stories and illustrations based on the prompts you select.
- The data sent to the AI service is strictly limited to the story parameters (e.g., "Write a calm bedtime story about space for a 5-year-old named B teaching honesty").
- We do not send your email address or any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to the AI provider.
- The data we send is not used by the AI provider to train their public models.
🤝 5. How We Store and Share Your Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only share information with trusted third-party service providers (like secure cloud hosting and email delivery services) that are strictly necessary to operate the App. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.
🗑️ 6. Data Retention and Deletion
We keep your family's stories and profile data as long as your account is active. You have the right to request the deletion of your account and all associated data at any time.
To delete your account or request the removal of specific data, please contact us at the email address below.
📝 7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify the parent email address associated with the account before the changes take effect.
