Photo Storage & AI Processing
Secure Storage
Your uploaded photos are securely stored in Supabase (a secure cloud database). We use industry-standard encryption and access controls.
AI Image Generation
When you create a story, your photos are temporarily sent to fal.ai (our AI image generation partner) to create illustrations. fal.ai processes your photos in real-time and does not permanently store them after generation. Generated images are saved securely to your KindleWood Studio account.
Data Sharing
We do NOT sell your personal data. We only share data with:
- fal.ai: For AI image generation (photos sent temporarily, not stored)
- Supabase: Our secure database and authentication provider
- Stripe: Our payment processor for subscription billing (they handle all payment card data - we never see or store your card information)
- Legal authorities: If required by law or to protect rights and safety
Payment Information
All payment card information is processed directly by Stripe, a PCI-DSS compliant payment processor. We never see, handle, or store your credit card details. We only receive confirmation of successful or failed payments and subscription status updates from Stripe.
Your Rights
- Access: View all data we have about you
- Delete: Delete your account and all associated data at any time
- Control: Manage story visibility (public/private)

Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Our Commitment to Children's Privacy
KindleWood complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We take the privacy of children under 13 very seriously.
Parent-Controlled Platform
KindleWood Studio is designed for parents and guardians to create and manage content for their children:
- All accounts must be created and managed by adults (18+)
- Parents control all child profiles, photos, and data
- We do not knowingly collect information directly from children under 13
- Children can only access content through the KindleWood Kids app with parental setup
Information About Children We Collect (With Parental Consent)
- Child's name and age: Provided by parent for profile creation
- Photos: Uploaded by parent for story personalization
- Reading progress: Stories read, quiz performance, time spent
- Preferences: Favorite stories, reading goals set by parents
All of this information is collected through the parent account and controlled by the parent.
How We Use Children's Information
- To personalize stories with the child's name and likeness
- To track reading progress and educational achievements
- To provide age-appropriate content recommendations
- To enable parents to monitor their child's learning journey
Parental Rights Under COPPA
As a parent or guardian, you have the right to:
- Review: View all data we have about your child
- Delete: Delete your child's profile and all associated data at any time
- Refuse: Refuse further collection of your child's information (by deleting their profile)

To exercise these rights, sign in to your account and manage child profiles in Settings, or contact us at Admin@KindleWoodStudio.ai.
Data Sharing for Children
We do NOT sell or share children's personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Children's photos are only shared with our AI service provider (fal.ai) for the sole purpose of generating personalized story illustrations, and are not stored by the service provider.
KindleWood Kids App
The KindleWood Kids mobile app is designed for children to consume content created by their parents. The app does not collect any additional information beyond reading progress and quiz answers, which are visible to parents in their account dashboard.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption, secure authentication, and row-level security policies. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy periodically. We will notify you of significant changes via email or a notice on our website.
