Story Nook never asks for a photo of your child. Every hero is drawn from a description you write, so your child's face is never sent to an AI model.
Story Nook shows no third-party advertising, uses no behavioural-advertising or tracking SDKs, and does not sell personal information. It collects the minimum needed to run the app and save your books.
Story Nook is made for children to use together with a parent or guardian. The account is created and managed by an adult, with an email address and a display name. The app does not deliberately ask children for personal information beyond what is needed to make a story, and we suggest keeping real names and identifying details out of story text.
Story text and illustrations are produced by Google's Gemini models. The prompts you enter (topic, character description, story text and art style) are sent to Google to generate the result, and are subject to Google's terms and safety filtering. Story Nook applies strict content-safety settings to text generation.
AI can occasionally make mistakes, including small inconsistencies in illustrations. An adult should review a book before sharing it with a child. If a page comes back wrong, you can fix it in the editor.
A For Grown-Ups area, behind a quick grown-up check, lets a parent hide the games and set a screen-time timer.
Account data and saved books are stored with Supabase in the European Union, and copies of your books are kept on your device. The other service providers are Google (for AI generation) and Vercel (for website and app hosting). Data is encrypted in transit, and access to your books is restricted to your account by database security rules.
In the app, go to Profile, then Delete my account. This permanently removes your account, your saved books and your stored illustrations.
