Welcome to MyStoryBooks.co, where we collect and use personal information from children under the age of 13 in order to provide a personalized children's book service. We take our responsibility to protect the privacy of children very seriously, and have implemented measures to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose personal information collected from children under the age of 13.
MyStoryBooks.co is the sole operator collecting personal information from children through our website. We do not utilize third-party operators such as advertising networks or social network plug-ins to collect or maintain children's personal information. For inquiries from parents, our single point of contact is mystorybooks.help@gmail.com.
We collect the following types of personal information from children in order to create personalized children's books:
We collect this information directly from the parent or guardian, who is required to provide consent through a form of payment before any personal information is collected from the child. The personal information is used solely to create the personalized children's book and is not shared with any third parties.
We understand the importance of parental control over their child's personal information. Parents have the right to review their child's personal information, direct us to delete it, and refuse to allow any further collection or use of the child's information. Parents also have the right to agree to the collection and use of their child's information, but still not allow disclosure to third parties unless that's part of the service (for example, social networking). Parents may contact us at any time to exercise these rights at mystorybooks.help@gmail.com. We will respond to all inquiries from parents about our site or service's practices within a reasonable amount of time.
After the photos are uploaded, they are used to train the model and are immediately deleted from our storage. The model is trained in an isolated environment (an EC2 instance) that is terminated after the training, ensuring the photos are not retained. Furthermore, we delete models from our storage after a week.
We take data security seriously. The photos are uploaded directly to an encrypted S3 bucket with no public access. Only our team has access to the storage, and we do not use the uploaded images for any other purpose or sell them to any third parties.
We may update our privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make any material changes to our policy, we will provide notice on our website. In case of changes that involve the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information from children under 13, we will obtain parental consent as required by COPPA.
We will notify parents of material changes to our privacy policy through a notice on our website. Depending on the nature of the changes, we may also contact parents directly via email or other means of communication. If the changes involve the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information from children under 13, we will obtain parental consent before implementing the changes.
