4. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes:

• Encryption of data in transit using HTTPS

• Hashing of voter identifiers for privacy

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect site functionality.

8. Children's Privacy

Personalized books are purchased and configured by adults. A parent or legal guardian may provide a child's name, interests, and photo solely to create the purchased book. We require the submitting adult to confirm that authority. Children should not submit information directly. If you believe information was submitted without proper permission, contact us so we can delete it.

9. Source Photo Retention

Source photos are stored privately while we create the illustrations, are not displayed publicly, and are scheduled for deletion after generation. Finished book artwork and order records may be retained as needed to fulfill the order, provide support, handle reprints, prevent fraud, and meet legal obligations. You may request earlier deletion, although doing so can prevent completion or reprinting.

10. Third-Party Services

Our service integrates with third-party services including:

• Google (for authentication)
• Resend (for email delivery)
• Etsy (for marketplace orders)
• Stripe (for direct-site payment processing)
• Cloud storage and AI-assisted image generation providers (for book production)
• Print-on-demand providers such as Lulu (for printing and shipping)
• Analytics providers

These services have their own privacy policies governing their use of your data.
