Privacy in Plain English

A family-friendly summary of how StoryWell handles data. For full legal detail, see our Privacy Policy.

StoryWell is built for kids aged 3-12, but managed by adults. Parents and guardians stay in control of account settings, profile updates, and deletion requests.

What we collect

  • Child's first name — so we can personalise stories with your child's name.
  • Child's age or date of birth — so we can match stories to the right reading level.
  • Email address — for account access only; we use it to sign you in and reach you if needed.
  • Stories generated — stored locally on your device so your child can re-read favourites.

What we do not collect

  • Precise location
  • Contacts
  • Camera or microphone access (beyond on-device text-to-speech)
  • Advertising identifiers
  • Browsing behaviour for advertising

Where data lives

  • Stories and profile data — stored locally on your device in encrypted storage. We explain this in plain terms: your child's stories and profile stay on the device, protected by encryption.
  • Account data — backed by a secure cloud service so you can sign in and manage your account. We do not share this with advertisers.
  • AI story generation — when we create a story, we send your child's name and story context to the AI service. This data is not logged or stored beyond the single request needed to generate the story.
  • No third-party advertising — we do not share your data with third parties for advertising.

Account deletion

You can delete your account in one step: go to Settings → Account → Delete Account in the app.

What happens: we wipe all local data on your device and send a deletion request to our backend. Your stories, profile, and account are removed completely. This is irreversible.

To request changes or deletion by email, contact us at support@storywell.io or through the contact page.
