Safety & Privacy
Parents deserve specifics, not slogans. Here is exactly how Z Tales treats your family.
The short version
Your child never has an account — you do. Their name and details exist for one purpose: telling their story. Nothing is sold, nothing is advertised, and you can delete everything, any time.
What we store
Only what you type: your child’s first name, an age range, and (optionally) a short description of how they look so the illustrations can match. Plus the stories, artwork, and narration created from them — saved to your library so bedtime favorites can be read again.
We never ask for photos of your child. Portraits and illustrations are painted from your written description alone.
What we never do
We never sell or share your family’s information. There are no ads, no data brokers, and no third-party marketing — our only revenue is subscriptions from parents.
Stories are private by default. A story is only visible to others if you personally choose to share it, and you can un-share it whenever you like.
How every story stays kind
Every input — names, lessons, themes, descriptions — passes through an automated safety review before any story is written. Anything inappropriate is refused with a friendly message.
The storyteller itself works under strict rules written by the founder: nothing scary, no sad endings, vocabulary matched to your child’s age, and every story winds down to a calm, cozy finish. Learning topics stick to simple, well-established facts.
The technology, honestly
Stories, illustrations, and narration are generated with artificial intelligence, operating under the rules above. We say this plainly because you deserve to know how the magic works — and because the magic isn’t the technology. It’s your child hearing their own name in a story you chose for them.
Deleting your data
Delete any story from your library and its pages, artwork, and audio go with it. Want your whole account gone? Email hello@ztales.com and it will be removed — promptly, completely, and without a retention dance.
Questions?
Z Tales is built by one person, and safety questions go to the top of the pile. Email hello@ztales.com and you’ll hear back from the founder himself.
