Stories you generate, your saved stories and basic app preferences (e.g., language, premium status) are stored locally on your device using secure storage technologies provided by the platform. This data remains on your device unless you delete the app, clear app data, or reset your device.When an AI service is used to help generate stories, the text inputs sent to that service (such as name, age, category, theme) are used only to produce the story response.

You can delete most local data at any time by uninstalling the app.Stories: Bedtime Books may use the following third‑party services:- Apple App Store & Google Play Billing

When used, these services receive the story prompt (including the child’s first name or nickname and preferences) to generate text output. We instruct such services to process the data only to provide the story and not to personalize advertising.Each third‑party service has its own privacy policy. We recommend reading those policies to understand how they handle your data.Stories: Bedtime Books is intended to be used by parents and caregivers together with children.
