Privacy Policy

At Littale, we are deeply committed to protecting the privacy, security, and safety of our users, especially children. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information when you access or use Littale’s website, applications, and services.

By using Littale, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to the practices described below.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of Littale, including parents and families, children and students, teachers and educational institutions, story creators and publishers, and visitors to our website. It governs how information is handled across all features, including storybook creation, reading experiences, learning quests, group activities, and subscriptions.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that users voluntarily provide when creating an account, using our features, or contacting us for support. This may include names, email addresses, account credentials, and other information necessary to deliver our services effectively.

For personalized storytelling, parents or teachers may provide child-related information such as a child’s name, age, gender, and uploaded photographs. This information is used strictly to personalize stories and learning experiences and is never collected directly from children without adult involvement.

In addition, Littale automatically collects certain technical and usage information, such as device type, browser details, IP address, country-level location, session activity, and interaction data. This information helps us maintain platform performance, improve features, and ensure security.

3. How We Use Information

Information collected by Littale is used to operate and improve our services. This includes generating personalized storybooks, creating consistent illustrations, building interactive learning quests, enabling group participation, calculating results and rankings, and providing meaningful feedback to parents and teachers.

We also use information to manage subscriptions, process payments securely, respond to support requests, communicate important updates, and protect our platform from misuse, fraud, or unauthorized access.

4. Children’s Privacy and Protection

Littale is designed with child safety at its core. Children are not required to provide personal contact information, and all child-related data is submitted and managed by parents, guardians, or educators.

Uploaded photos are never displayed publicly and are used solely to generate cartoon-style characters within storybooks. Littale does not show advertisements to children and does not allow public interaction that could expose personal information.

We follow applicable child data protection principles, including COPPA and GDPR-K, and continuously review our practices to maintain a safe digital environment.

5. AI Content and Photo Usage

Photos uploaded to Littale are processed securely and used only to create cartoon representations for personalized stories. These photos are not sold, reused, or shared with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

Generated stories, illustrations, and learning materials belong to the user, subject to their subscription plan. User-uploaded content is not used to train public or third-party AI models.

6. Learning Quests, Results, and Leaderboards

Littale’s Learning Quests generate results, points, and rankings based on participation and performance. When leaderboards are displayed, only limited identifiers such as first names or nicknames are shown.

Teachers may access performance results for students they manage, and parents may view results related to their own children. Sensitive personal information is never displayed publicly.

7. Data Sharing and Third-Party Services

Littale does not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We may share limited data with trusted service providers who assist us with hosting, payment processing, email delivery, analytics, and physical book fulfillment.

All third-party partners are required to maintain strict confidentiality and security standards consistent with this Privacy Policy.

8. Payments and Financial Security

All payments are processed through secure, third-party payment providers. Littale does not store full credit card details or sensitive financial information on its servers.

Payment transactions are encrypted and handled in compliance with industry security standards.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Littale uses cookies and similar technologies to maintain user sessions, remember preferences, and analyze platform usage. These technologies help us deliver a smooth and reliable experience.

Users can manage cookie preferences through their browser settings at any time.

10. Data Storage, Retention, and Deletion

Personal data is stored securely and retained only for as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

Users may request account deletion and data removal at any time through account settings or by contacting our support team.
