Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Children's Privacy

SleepyTales takes the privacy and safety of children extremely seriously. We are committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and equivalent international regulations. We do not collect information directly from children — all accounts are created and managed by parents or legal guardians.

Information We Collect

Parent Information:

  • Name and email address (for account creation)
  • Payment information (processed securely by Lemon Squeezy — we never store card numbers)

Child Profile Information (provided by parent):

  • Child's first name
  • Age
  • Gender (optional)
  • Interests and favorite characters
  • Pet name (optional)

This information is used solely to personalize bedtime stories. We do not sell, share, or use this data for any other purpose.

How We Use Your Information

  • Generate personalized bedtime stories for your child
  • Generate audio narration of stories
  • Maintain your story library
  • Process subscription payments
  • Send important account-related communications

We do NOT use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond providing the SleepyTales service.

AI-Generated Content

Stories are generated using OpenAI's language models. Child profile information (first name, age, interests) is sent to OpenAI as part of the story generation prompt. OpenAI's data usage policies apply. We do not send last names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for story personalization.

All generated content passes through our content safety filter before being displayed. This filter checks for inappropriate language, themes, or content that should never appear in children's stories.

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely on our servers. Audio files are stored locally and associated with your account. We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information.

Data Deletion

You can delete your child's profile at any time from the Profiles page. This permanently deletes the profile and all associated stories and audio files. To delete your entire account and all associated data, please contact us at the email below.

Third-Party Services

  • OpenAI — Story and audio generation
  • Lemon Squeezy — Payment processing

Each of these services has their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them.

Parental Rights

As a parent or guardian, you have the right to:

  • Review the personal information we have about your child
  • Request deletion of your child's information
  • Refuse further collection of your child's information
  • Request a copy of your data
