Privacy & how we use your child's details

Early beta. Last updated October 2026.

Brainy Hearty is an early-stage test product. This page says plainly what happens to the information you enter.

What we collect

• Story details you type: your child's first name, age, interests, any supporting characters, family touches, appearance choices, dedication and occasion.
• The finished book: the text and illustrations we generate are saved so you can find them again under My Stories.
• Photos (only if an upload option is offered): used once as a visual reference for the illustrations. We don't keep a copy of the uploaded file after the book is generated.
• Anonymous usage: a random ID in a cookie, which pages were opened, and whether a book was started or downloaded. No ads, no third-party trackers.

Who processes it

To write and illustrate a book, the details above are sent to our AI providers: Anthropic (story text) and OpenAI (illustrations). Each handles that data under its own terms. We don't sell your information or use it for advertising.

Who can see your books

"My Stories" only lists books created in your browser. A book can be opened by anyone who has its private link, so share links only with people you trust. We recommend using a first name or nickname rather than a full name.

For parents

This service is for parents and guardians to use, not for children to use on their own. Please only enter information about a child if you are their parent or guardian.
