1. Introduction

Welcome to DreamWeaver Stories ("DreamWeaver," "we," "us," or "our"). We are deeply committed to protecting the privacy and safety of children and the families who use our application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the DreamWeaver Stories mobile application and website (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing or using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the Service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the minimum amount of information necessary to provide and improve our Service. The types of information we may collect include:

2.1 Parental / Account Information

Email address — for account creation, authentication, and important communications
Name — to personalize your account experience
Payment information — processed securely through Apple App Store or Google Play Store (we do not directly store payment card details)
Account preferences — subscription plan, notification settings, and content preferences

2.2 Child Profile Information

First name or nickname — used solely for story personalization (e.g., "Noah's Adventure")
Age range — to generate age-appropriate content
Interests and preferences — topics such as "dinosaurs" or "space" to tailor stories

Important: We do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) from children such as full names, addresses, phone numbers, photos, or precise location data. Child profiles are securely associated with the parent's account and used exclusively for content personalization.

2.3 Usage & Device Information

Device type and operating system — for compatibility and performance optimization
App usage analytics — aggregated, anonymized data on feature usage to improve the Service
Crash reports — anonymized diagnostic data to identify and fix technical issues

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

Provide the Service: Generate personalized stories, manage accounts, and process subscriptions
Personalize experiences: Tailor story content and recommendations based on child profiles and preferences
Improve the Service: Analyze aggregated, anonymized usage patterns to develop new features and enhance existing ones
Communicate with parents: Send account-related notifications, service updates, and respond to support inquiries
Ensure safety: Monitor and improve our content safety filters and AI guardrails
Legal compliance: Fulfill legal obligations, enforce our Terms of Service, and protect our rights

4. AI & Content Generation

DreamWeaver Stories uses artificial intelligence to generate personalized stories and illustrations. We want to be transparent about how your data interacts with our AI systems:

Story Prompts: The inputs you provide (child's name, chosen themes, preferences) are processed by our AI solely to generate your requested story. These inputs are not stored permanently for AI training purposes
No Child PII for Training: We do not use any child's personal information to train, develop, or improve our AI models or any third-party AI systems
Content Safety: All AI-generated content passes through multiple safety filters designed to ensure age-appropriateness and prevent harmful material
Third-Party AI Providers: We may use third-party AI services (e.g., language models, image generators) to power our story generation. Data shared with these providers is strictly limited to what is necessary to generate the requested content, and we require these providers to adhere to strict data handling and deletion standards

5. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Protecting children's privacy is a core priority for DreamWeaver Stories. We are fully committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and its 2025 amendments. Our commitments include:

Verifiable Parental Consent: We require verifiable parental consent before collecting any information from or about a child under 13 years of age
Data Minimization: We collect only the minimal information necessary to provide a personalized storytelling experience. We never require children to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary
Parental Access & Control: Parents may at any time:
- Review the personal information collected from their child
- Request deletion of their child's personal information
- Refuse to permit any further collection or use of their child's information
- Revoke previously granted consent
No Behavioral Advertising: We do not serve targeted or behavioral advertisements to children
No Third-Party Data Sharing for AI Training: We do not disclose children's personal information to third parties for the purpose of training or developing AI technologies

If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child without proper parental consent, please contact us immediately at hello@dreamweaverstories.app, and we will take prompt steps to delete such information.

6. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or your child's information to third parties. We may share limited information only in the following circumstances:

Service Providers: Trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Service (e.g., hosting, analytics, AI content generation). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and may only use it to perform services on our behalf
Legal Requirements: When required by law, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of DreamWeaver Stories, our users, or the public
Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred. You will be notified of any such change in ownership or control

7. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with our legal obligations:

Account Data: Retained for the duration of your active account. Upon account deletion, your data will be removed within 30 days, except where retention is required by law
Child Profile Data: Retained only while associated with an active parent account. Deleted immediately upon parent request or account closure
Story Generation Data: Temporary inputs used to generate stories (prompts, preferences) are not retained after story delivery. Generated stories saved to your library are retained until you choose to delete them or close your account
Analytics Data: Aggregated, anonymized usage data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be linked to any individual user

To request deletion of your data, please contact us at hello@dreamweaverstories.app or use the "Delete Account" option within the app's settings.

8. Data Security

We take the security of your information seriously and implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect it, including:

Encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest
Secure authentication mechanisms and access controls
Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
Strict employee access policies — only authorized personnel may access personal data on a need-to-know basis
Incident response procedures to promptly address any data breaches

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to promptly notifying affected users in the event of a data breach.
