Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
Blockabye, operated by Jazlab LLC ("we," "our," or "us"), is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services to create personalized children's storybooks.
1. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account using Google Sign-In, we receive:
- Your email address
- Your name (as provided by Google)
- A unique user identifier
Content You Create
When you use our service, we store:
- Character names you provide
- Story prompts and adventure ideas you submit
- AI-generated character images
- AI-generated story text and illustrations
- Character personality traits and settings you select
Usage Information
We collect analytics data including pages visited, features used, and general usage patterns to improve our service.
2. Photo Handling
This is important: When you upload a photo to create a character, here's exactly what happens:
- Your photo is sent directly to our AI processing service
- The AI generates a block-style character image inspired by the photo
- Your original photo is immediately deleted — it is NOT stored on our servers
- Only the AI-generated character image is saved to your account
We never store, retain, or have access to the original photos you upload. The photos exist only temporarily during the AI generation process.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Create and deliver personalized storybooks
- Maintain your account and saved content
- Improve our AI models and service quality
- Send service-related communications
- Ensure content safety through moderation
- Analyze usage to improve the product
4. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services to provide our product:
| Service | Purpose | Data Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Authentication & Database | Email, account data |
| OpenAI | Story generation & content moderation | Story prompts, generated text |
| Replicate | Character image generation | Uploaded photos (temporarily) |
| Cloudflare | Image storage | Generated images only |
| PostHog | Analytics | Usage events, email (if signed in) |

Each service has its own privacy policy governing their data practices.
5. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored securely using industry-standard practices:
- Account data is stored in Supabase (PostgreSQL) with row-level security

6. Children's Privacy
Blockabye is designed for parents to create storybooks for their children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Important notes:
- Accounts must be created by parents or guardians (age 18+)
- We do not collect children's names directly — parents provide character names
- Original photos of children are never stored (see Photo Handling above)
- Generated character images are stylized block-style illustrations, not realistic photos
