Privacy Policy

Tellspinners creates personalized bedtime stories for families. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

Who we are

Tellspinners is a service that lets you create personalized, illustrated bedtime stories for your child. You add photos, answer a few questions, and receive a story and cartoon-style illustrations. The service is intended for use by parents and caregivers.

What we collect

We collect and store: (1) Account information — such as your email address when you sign up or sign in (e.g. via Firebase Auth). (2) Story data — the titles, text, and page content of the stories you create, plus the generated illustrations and PDFs we create for you.

We do not store the photos you upload. Your photos are used only to create your story and are then deleted. For more detail, see our For Parents page.

How we use it

We use your information to provide the service (creating and storing your stories and generated art), to manage your account, and to improve the service. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

Where it's stored

We use Firebase (Google) for authentication, Firestore for story metadata and content, and Cloud Storage for generated images and PDFs only. Uploaded photos are not stored in any database or storage (see For Parents).

Data retention

Your stories and generated content remain stored until you delete them or until you close your account. You can delete individual stories from the app at any time.

Your rights

You can delete stories from within the app. For account closure or other data deletion requests, please use our Support page and we will respond as soon as we can.

Children

Tellspinners is designed for use by parents and caregivers. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Photos of children are not stored; see our For Parents page for how we handle photos.

Cookies

We use cookies only as needed to run the service (for example, to keep you signed in). We do not use marketing or non-essential cookies. For more detail, see our Cookie Policy.

Changes

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will post the current version on this page. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date below.
