How we handle your family's information.

1. Who we are

Bedtime Worlds is an app that helps a parent turn the real events of their child's day into an illustrated bedtime story. Accounts belong to adults. Children do not sign up, log in, or use the app on their own.

Bedtime Worlds is responsible for the information described in this notice.

2. Information we collect today: the launch list

Right now, the only thing we collect is what you give us when you join the launch list on our homepage. That is:

• ✦Your email address. An adult's email address, normalized so we do not create duplicate entries.
• ✦The time you signed up, the version of the consent language you agreed to, and which form on the page you used.

We do not ask for your name, your child's name, your child's age, a photograph, or anything else about your child in order to join the launch list. We do not collect location data, and we do not run advertising or behavioral analytics trackers on this page.

We use this only to email you about the launch and development of Bedtime Worlds, and to invite you to help shape the product. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. We do not add you to unrelated marketing. Our lawful basis is your consent.

3. Information the app will collect at launch

The app is still being built, so this section describes intended design rather than a shipped product. We expect to handle:

• ✦Account information for the parent: email address and authentication details.
• ✦Daily summaries you record or type, describing what happened in your child's day.
• ✦Story world and character choices, including a hero name or nickname you choose and the illustrated character you approve.
• ✦Generated stories and illustrations saved to your library, plus the fictional continuity of your world.
• ✦Basic technical and diagnostic data needed to keep the app working and secure, such as crash reports.
• ✦Purchase records if you subscribe, handled by the app store. We do not receive your full payment card details.

4. Children's information

Bedtime Worlds is designed for a parent to use on behalf of a child aged roughly 3 to 8. There is no child signup, no child login, no child-facing chat, and no child-facing purchases. Any information about your child reaches us only because you, the parent, chose to provide it.

We aim to collect as little about a child as the product needs to work. A first name or nickname and a description of how they want to appear as a hero is enough. We do not ask for a birthdate, address, school, contact details, or a child's own email address.

You control this information and can view or delete it from your account at any time.

5. Photographs and character creation

We do not ask for photographs of children, and the app does not accept them. Your child's hero is created entirely from a description you provide: hair, eyes, a distinctive detail, and what they are like.

From that description we generate three illustrated character concepts for you to choose from. The one you approve becomes their hero and stays consistent across every story. The concepts you do not choose, and temporary processing files, are deleted.

We do not perform facial recognition, identity verification, or any form of biometric matching, and we hold no images of your child.

6. Voice recordings

Speaking is the fastest way to share the day, but it is optional; you can always type instead. Recording happens only when you start it. The app does not listen in the background.

A recording you make is transcribed to text so a story can be written from it. Our intended design is that the original audio is deleted after transcription, and the app does not create a voice print or voice model of you or your child.

7. Story memory and real-life events

Families can choose a persistent world where stories continue night after night. That memory is designed to hold fiction: your child's heroic identity, their companions, the places they have been, and the quests they have finished.

The real-life details you share are used to write tonight's story. They are not intended to be retained as part of the persistent world's memory, so the app does not build a running diary of your child's private experiences.

You can also decide that a particular story stays a one-off, and nothing from it joins your world. Finished stories you save remain in your library until you delete them, and deleting a story is intended to remove its saved text and illustrations.

8. How we use AI, and what we do not do with your stories

Bedtime Worlds uses AI models to transcribe your summary, write the story, and create illustrations and optional narration. Some of this processing happens through third-party model providers acting as our service providers.

We do not use your private family stories, summaries, photographs, or recordings to train AI models, and we intend to contract with providers on terms that prohibit them from doing so with your content.

9. What we never do

• We do not sell your personal information.
• We do not show advertising in the app.
• We do not build behavioral advertising profiles of parents or children.
• We do not train AI models on private family stories.
• We do not offer purchases to children inside the reading experience.
• We do not add launch-list subscribers to unrelated marketing.

10. Service providers and sharing

We share information only with companies that help us run Bedtime Worlds, and only as far as they need it to do that work: hosting and storage, email delivery for the launch list, AI model and speech providers, crash reporting, and app store billing.

We may also disclose information where the law requires it, to protect the safety of a person, or as part of a merger or acquisition, in which case this notice would continue to apply until you are told otherwise.

11. How long we keep information

12. Your choices and rights

You can unsubscribe from launch emails using the link in any email we send. In the app, you will be able to view and delete saved information, delete individual stories, reset or delete a story world, and close your account.

Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to access a copy of your information, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to certain processing, withdraw consent, or lodge a complaint with your data protection authority. We will not treat you differently for exercising these rights.

To make a request, reply to any launch-list email you receive from Bedtime Worlds.

13. Security

We encrypt information in transit and at rest, restrict internal access to what staff need to do their jobs, and keep credentials out of client-side code. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot promise absolute security, but protecting family stories is a design requirement rather than an afterthought.

14. Where information is processed

Our providers may process information in countries other than the one you live in. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for those transfers.

15. Changes to this notice

We may update this notice as Bedtime Worlds develops. We will update the date at the top whenever we revise it. If a change materially affects how we handle your information, we will tell launch-list members and account holders by email.
