How We Use Your Photo

Plain and simple: here's exactly what happens to a photo you upload.

What we use it for

We use your photo to create an illustrated character of your child — the same photo becomes the hero of their storybook. A person on our team guides that process; it isn't a fully automated black box.

What happens after

Your photo is used to generate the illustrated character and produce your book. Once your book is made, we delete the original photo — it isn't kept around, and it's never used for anything beyond your order.

What we don't do

We don't use your child's photo or likeness in ads, marketing, or public galleries. We don't use customer photos to train AI models. We don't share it with anyone outside the small set of vendors needed to make your book.

Who can upload a photo

Only a parent, guardian, or someone with clear permission from them. You'll confirm this before your book can be added to your cart.
