Privacy Policy - Storybook OS

1. Introduction

Storybook OS ("we", "us", or "our") provides interactive storybooks and educational games for children ages 3-12. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you. Because our service is designed for families with young children, we take children's privacy especially seriously.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

Account information — provided by a parent or guardian when creating an account (e.g., name, email address, password).
Child profile information — limited information a parent chooses to provide for a child's profile (e.g., first name or nickname, age range, reading level).
Usage information — reading progress, stories created or read, and feature usage, used to power progress tracking for parents.
Technical information — device type, browser, and log data needed to operate and secure the service.

3. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

We design Storybook OS to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Specifically:

Accounts may only be created by a parent or legal guardian.
We collect only the minimal information about children needed to provide the service, and only with verifiable parental consent.
We do not serve behavioral or targeted advertising to children.
We do not permit children to publicly share personal information through the service.
Parents may review, update, or delete their child's information at any time by contacting us at [Contact email] or through account settings.

4. Parental Consent and Controls

Parents control all child profiles on their account. You may withdraw consent, request deletion of a child's data, or refuse further collection at any time. If we materially change how we collect or use children's information, we will notify you and obtain new consent where required.

5. How We Use Information

To provide, personalize, and improve the service.
To generate and save storybooks and track reading progress.
To communicate with parents about their account.
To maintain safety, security, and legal compliance.

6. Sharing of Information

We do not sell personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us operate the service (e.g., hosting, content generation, payment processing) under contracts that limit how they may use it, or where required by law. [List of subprocessors to be confirmed by legal review.]

7. Data Retention and Security

We retain personal information only as long as needed to provide the service or as required by law, and we use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect it. Parents may request account and data deletion at any time.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information. To exercise these rights, contact us at [Contact email].

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and update the "Last updated" date above.
