Privacy Policy

Quick Summary:
At Tales for Me, your family’s privacy is our priority. We collect only what’s necessary to create and deliver your child’s personalized book. We never sell your data. We never contact your child. And you're always in control.

1. Who We Are

Tales for Me is a screen-free storytelling platform that creates personalized books where your child is the hero. Website: https://www.talesforme.com

2. What We Collect

When you place an order or preview a book, we may collect:

Your name, email, and shipping address
Your child’s first name, gender, and age
A photo of your child uploaded for personalization
Personalization preferences (e.g., story theme or character profession)
Payment information (processed securely by PCI-compliant providers)
Technical analytics (e.g., browser type, device)—non-personal and anonymized

We do not collect structured appearance traits. Character personalization is generated solely from the uploaded photo.

Child age is used only in anonymized analytics (e.g., understanding age group trends).

Generate your personalized storybook and deliver it via our print partner
Show you a digital preview and confirm customization
Send order updates or respond to support inquiries
Improve our product and user experience (with anonymized insights)

Photo likenesses are used only to generate your book unless you opt in to share them for marketing
Payment data is never stored on our servers
Access is restricted to authorized staff and secure vendors

5. Sharing Your Information

We only share data with:

Our print fulfillment partner (e.g., Lulu) for delivering your book

We do not sell, rent, or externally share personal information—ever.

6. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Notice)
