Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 5, 2025

Introduction

Welcome to SoftDreams, a personalized AI-powered bedtime story app for children. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and the privacy of your children. This policy describes our practices regarding data collection and use, particularly as they relate to children's information.

By using SoftDreams, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information We Collect

SoftDreams is designed with privacy in mind. We use minimal information only to create personalized stories for your child:

Personal Information used for story generation:

  • Child's name, age, and favorite interests (used only for personalization)
  • Story preferences and themes
  • All personal data is stored locally on your device only
  • No personal information is transmitted to external servers
  • Only anonymous usage statistics are collected to improve the app
  • Basic device information for app compatibility and crash reporting

AI Data Processing

SoftDreams uses artificial intelligence to generate personalized stories while protecting your privacy:

When generating stories, only general story prompts and themes are sent to AI services - never personal information like names or specific details about your child.

All personalization (adding your child's name, age-appropriate content, favorite characters) happens locally on your device.

No conversation logs, personal data, or identifiable information is stored on external servers.

Generated story templates are personalized locally and stored only on your device.

AI providers process only generic story requests and cannot identify individual users or children.

Children's Privacy

SoftDreams is designed with children's privacy as our top priority. We comply with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and other applicable laws.

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information about children to external servers.

All personal data (names, ages, preferences) is stored locally on your device only and never leaves your device.

Parents have complete control over their child's information since it remains on their device.

No personal information is shared with third parties, including AI providers.

The app functions entirely offline for personalization, ensuring maximum privacy protection.

We do not collect, store, or share your personal information with any third parties. Here's what we do share:

Limited Third-Party Interactions:

  • AI Services: Only generic story templates are requested (no personal information is sent)
  • Apple App Store: For subscription management only (handled by Apple's secure systems)
  • Analytics: Only anonymous app usage statistics (no personal or identifiable data)
  • No personal data, names, ages, or preferences are ever shared with any external service

Data Retention

Since all personal data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control over data retention:

Personal data: Stored only on your device until you delete the app or clear data

Story library: Stored locally on your device with optional iCloud backup (controlled by you)

Anonymous analytics: Retained for up to 2 years for app improvement purposes only

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information:

Data encryption in transit and at rest

Regular security assessments and updates

Limited access to personal information on a need-to-know basis

Secure cloud infrastructure with industry-standard protections

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may use device identifiers and analytics tools to understand app usage and improve performance.

You can manage analytics sharing through your device's privacy settings.
