Privacy Policy
Last updated November 14, 2026
This policy explains what A Dog's Tale collects when you make a storybook, why, and the choices you have. Questions: info@doggystale.com.
What we collect
- Your dog's photo, name and personality answers. You give us these to create the story.
- Your email address, when you buy a book, so we can deliver it and let you sign back in to download it.
- Payment details, which are entered on Stripe's secure checkout page. We never see or store your full card number.
- Basic usage events, such as "story finished" or "checkout started," without your dog's photo, story or name attached. We use these to improve the product.
How your dog's photo is used
Your photo is prepared in your browser. When you choose to create your story, the photo, your dog's name and your answers are sent to our AI provider, OpenAI, to write and illustrate the book. We use them only to make your book. Please upload only photos you have permission to use, ideally with no people in them.
Where your book is kept
Your finished book is saved in your browser. When you buy a book, a private copy of the PDF is stored with our database provider, Supabase, so you can download it again after signing in with your email. Clearing your browser data may remove the browser copy.
Who we share data with
We share data only with the providers that run the service: OpenAI (story and illustrations), Stripe (payments), Supabase (accounts and purchased books) and Render (hosting). We do not sell your personal information and we do not use your photos for advertising.
How long we keep it
We keep purchase records as long as needed for accounting, tax and fraud prevention. We keep stored books so you can re-download them. You can ask us to delete your book and account data at any time.
Your choices
Email info@doggystale.com to access, correct or delete your data. We will respond within 30 days.
Children
Storybooks are great for kids, but purchases must be made by an adult. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date above. Material changes will be highlighted on this page.
