4. AI-Generated Content

When you use our Service, your inputs (including character descriptions, story prompts, and uploaded photos) are processed by Google's Gemini AI models to generate stories and illustrations. This data is transmitted to Google's servers for processing.

We do not use your content to train AI models. However, Google may process this data according to their own privacy policies and terms of service.

Your data is stored on secure servers provided by Vercel and our database provider. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
