Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 1 April 2025

Company Name: Pictofantasy Multimedia Productions

App Name: Stories that Teach

Pictofantasy Multimedia Productions (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle user information in our mobile application Stories that Teach ("App").

1. No Personal Data Collected

● We do not collect, store, or share any personal information from users. The app is designed to provide access to downloadable children’s storybooks and does not request, track, or transmit any user data such as names, email addresses, location data, or photos.

2. Book Downloads

● The app allows users to download storybooks stored on our secure server. An internet connection is required the first time the app is launched and for downloading any additional or newly released stories.

● This download process does not involve the collection of any personal information. Please note: Any data usage or internet charges incurred during the download process are the responsibility of the user. We recommend using a stable Wi-Fi connection to avoid unexpected data charges.

3. AI-Generated Narration

● The app uses Google Cloud Text-to-Speech to provide voice narration. All voices are AI-generated using default options from Google Cloud and are used solely to read the original, human-written story texts.

● These narrations are pre-generated on the device and do not record, collect, or store any voice or audio from users.

4. Third-Party Services

● The app may use third-party services solely for operational purposes, such as:
○ Subscription processing (via the App Store or Google Play)
○ Cloud storage and delivery of book content

● These services operate independently and do not collect personal user data through the app. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for more details.

5. No Third-Party Analytics or Ads

● Our app does not use third-party analytics, advertising networks, or tracking tools.

○ No advertisements are displayed within the app.
○ No external data is collected.
○ No tracking technologies (e.g., cookies, analytics platforms, or behavioral tracking) are used.

6. Subscriptions and Payments

● If subscriptions are enabled, they are managed entirely through the App Store or Google Play. We do not access or store payment or account information — these are governed by the respective store’s privacy policies.

7. Children’s Privacy

● Our app is designed for children and is intended to be accessed and managed by parents or guardians. We follow best practices for child safety and do not knowingly collect or store any personal information about children.

● The app is developed in accordance with recognized child privacy and safety guidelines.

● No personal data is collected from children.

● Parental gates and safeguards are included to restrict access to certain sections of the app.

8. Internet Usage and Local Storage

● Books are downloaded via an internet connection but stored locally on the user’s device for offline access.

● Users are responsible for ensuring sufficient storage space and connectivity.

9. Data Security

● Since no personal data is collected, we do not store any sensitive information requiring protection.

● All downloads are served from a secure server to ensure safe and reliable access to content.

10. Changes to This Policy

● This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in the app or our data practices. We encourage users to review the policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
