Effective date: 23 July 2026
At Mooboo, we are committed to protecting your privacy, with particular care given to the privacy of children. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our platform to create personalised children’s stories.
When you use Mooboo to create a personalised book, we collect:
We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising.
Mooboo is a service for parents and gift-givers, not a service directed at children. When you upload a photo of a child as a character reference, you confirm that:
We take the privacy of children's images seriously. If you have concerns about an image that has been uploaded, contact us at the address below.
Mooboo requires all account holders to be 18 or older. To help verify this, we may use a third-party identity verification provider, Didit, which performs an ID document check, a live selfie match, and basic device/IP checks.
When Didit is used, it processes and retains the verification data itself (your ID document image, a short selfie video, and the match result) under its own privacy policy. Mooboo does not store your ID document, selfie, or date of birth — we only store the verification outcome (approved/declined) and the date it happened.
Some of the providers we use to run Mooboo are located overseas — primarily in the United States, and in Norway for printing. When you use Mooboo, your data may be transferred to and processed in these countries.
| Provider | Purpose | Country |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI | Story text and illustration generation | United States |
| Anthropic | Safety checks on generated content | United States |
| Account sign-in; may also be used for AI generation in future | United States | |
| Stripe | Payment processing | United States |
| Railway | Application hosting and infrastructure | United States |
| Supabase | Database, authentication, storage, and account emails | United States |
| Gelato | Physical book printing and fulfilment | Norway (headquartered; printed via local partners) |
| Didit | 18+ age verification | United States |
We share only what each provider needs to perform its function, and require that they handle your data securely.
We do not use your stories, character reference photos, or other personal details to train our own AI models, and we do not permit our AI partners to use them to train publicly available AI models. Your content is used only to generate the book you requested.
This relies on the data-use terms of the AI providers we work with (see "Who we share your data with" above). We choose to send data through these providers' standard business APIs, whose terms exclude customer data from model training — not their public consumer products, which may have different defaults.
| Data | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Account information | Until you delete your account |
| Story briefs and book settings | Until you delete your account |
| Payment information | Not stored by Mooboo. Payments are processed and retained by Stripe under its own privacy policy. |
| Character reference photos | Not retained by Mooboo. Passes through our systems temporarily during processing and deleted once generation begins. Sent to our AI partners for illustration generation; retained by those partners for up to 30 days for safety monitoring, then deleted — unless a longer period is required by applicable law. |
| Generated book images | Until you delete your account or the book |
We use industry-standard safeguards — including encryption in transit, access controls, and secure authentication — to help protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data using practices appropriate to its sensitivity.
We use a small number of essential cookies to keep you signed in and remember basic preferences as you use Mooboo. We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not use third-party tracking or analytics cookies.
Depending on where you are located, you may have rights including:
