• Generated content: personalised story text, illustrations, and PDF downloads created for your story request.
• Technical data: such as device, browser, and usage information where cookies or similar technologies are used (see our Cookie Policy).

We use personal information to:

• Generate personalised storybooks and illustrations.
• Provide digital viewing and PDF download features.
• Operate, secure, and improve our website and service.
• Respond to support requests and account-related enquiries.
• Process payments where applicable.

Uploading a child's photo is optional. If you choose to upload, the photo is used solely to help generate personalised illustrations for your storybook.

Uploaded child photos are removed after the story generation process is completed where technically possible, unless temporary retention is required for technical troubleshooting or security purposes.

We aim to remove uploaded child photos as soon as reasonably possible after generation.

AI-generated characters are inspired by uploaded photos and appearance details. They are stylised storybook artwork and may not be an exact representation of the child.

Parents or guardians should only upload images they have permission to use, and should use the service on behalf of their child.

Generated storybooks and generated images may be retained for a limited period to allow users to access, download, or re-download their content.

Where UK data protection law applies, we rely on appropriate lawful bases such as performing our contract with you, legitimate interests in running and improving our service (balanced against your rights), and consent where required—for example for non-essential cookies where applicable.

We may use trusted third-party providers to help deliver our service. Data may be processed by providers used for AI generation, website hosting, file storage, payments, analytics, and email. These providers process data on our instructions and for the purposes described in this policy.

Uploaded child photos may be processed by AI generation providers only to create your requested storybook. They are not provided for advertising, model training, or unrelated purposes.

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law. Uploaded child photos are not kept longer than necessary for story creation, as described in the sections above.

Generated storybooks and generated images may be retained for a limited period to allow users to access, download, or re-download their content.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of your personal data, and to object to some processing or withdraw consent where processing is consent-based.

You may request deletion of your account data, uploaded photos (if any remain), or generated story content by contacting Ummah Tales at ummahtalesbooks@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
