Last Updated: April 28, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to LinguaTales! We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information such as:

  • Account Information: Username, email address, hashed password when you register.
  • Story Content: Information you provide for story generation (child's name, age, theme, etc.). We strive to minimize storage of sensitive details long-term.
  • Usage Data: Information about how you use the service (e.g., stories generated, credits used, IP address, browser type). Collected automatically.
  • Payment Information: If you purchase credits, our payment processor (not us) collects payment details. We only receive confirmation of payment and basic transaction details.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain our services.
  • Generate personalized stories and illustrations.
  • Process transactions and manage your account.
  • Improve and personalize the service.
  • Communicate with you (e.g., support, updates).
  • Monitor usage and prevent fraud.

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service Providers: Third parties who perform services for us (e.g., hosting, AI model providers, payment processing). They only access information needed to perform their functions.
  • Legal Requirements: If required by law or to protect our rights.

AI Providers: Story prompts (excluding excessively personal details where possible) are sent to our AI partners (like Google Gemini and OpenAI) to generate text and images. Their use of data is governed by their respective privacy policies.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information. However, no electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.

6. Your Choices

You can access and update some of your account information through your profile (when available). You can opt-out of promotional emails. You may be able to delete your account (contact support).

7. Children's Privacy

While our service creates stories for children, it is intended for use by adults (parents/guardians). We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without parental consent. If you believe we have, please contact us.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page.
