Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-10-16
Bookulus creates personalized storybooks for children. Because our product involves children's photographs and details, we keep what we collect to the minimum and delete it as soon as it has served its purpose. This page explains exactly what happens to your data.
Who we are
bookulus.kids is operated by IE Zurabi Jakeli, identification number 01015025704, Gorgasali str 103, Tbilisi, Georgia (“we”), the controller of the personal data described here. For any privacy question or request, contact us using the details at the bottom of this page.
The child's photograph
You upload a photo so the story's hero can look like your child.
The photo is used once, to generate a stylised cartoon character (the "hero reference"). The original photograph is deleted from our storage immediately after that character is created — we do not keep it.
The photo is never public: it is held in a private, closed bucket, reachable only through a temporary link that expires within minutes, and deleted as soon as the character has been created. An automated sweep additionally removes any photo left behind by an interrupted run.
The cartoon character and the generated illustrations are stored so your book can be viewed, reprinted and downloaded.
We never use children's photographs to train AI models, and we never sell or share them for advertising.
Answers about your child (personalized stories)
If you use the personalized story feature, you may tell us about your child's strengths, fears, dreams and significant life events.
These answers are used only to write the story, during that single request. They are not stored in our database.
What we keep is the finished children's story itself. Sensitive topics are never depicted literally; they only shape a gentle, reassuring tone.
Other information we hold
Account: your email address, so you can sign in and find your books.
Payer details: your full name, phone number and address, entered before payment. Card payment rules require us to record them with every payment; we keep them with the order and use them only for that payment, to prevent fraud and to answer requests from our payment provider.
Payments are processed by Flitt, a licensed payment provider. You enter your card details directly on their secure page — we never see or store your card number. Only the outcome of the payment and the order reference reach us.
Who we share data with
We use a small number of processors to run the service: Supabase (database and file storage), Vercel (hosting), fal.ai (image generation), Anthropic via Vercel AI Gateway (story text), Flitt (payments), Resend (email delivery), Sentry (error reports) and Telegram (order notifications to our team). They process data only on our instructions.
Meta Platforms receives the advertising measurements described under "Cookies, analytics and advertising", and decides for itself how to use them under its own privacy policy.
We do not sell personal data.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
We count visits with Vercel Web Analytics: page views and a few steps such as opening checkout, without cookies and without identifying you.
When something on the site breaks, Sentry records the error so we can fix it. On-screen text is masked in those reports and images are never captured.
We advertise on Facebook and Instagram. To learn which ads bring visitors and sales, bookulus.kids uses the Meta Pixel. It sets cookies (_fbp and _fbc) and tells Meta which pages you visit and which steps you take: asking for a preview, opening checkout, paying.
When you pay, we also send Meta the purchase with your email address and phone number (both scrambled, or hashed, before they leave us), your IP address and your browser details, so Meta can match the purchase to an ad.
We never send Meta your child's photo, name or story.
In the EU, the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, the pixel loads and nothing goes to Meta only after you accept it in the banner. You can withdraw that at any time by clearing this site's cookies.
How long we keep things
Original photos: deleted the moment the character is created — within minutes — and never stored publicly.
Answers about your child: not stored at all.
Books, illustrations and order records: kept while your account exists, so you can access what you purchased.
Payment records, including the payer's name, phone and address: at least six months after the payment, and longer where the law requires — even if you delete your account.
Advertising details captured at checkout (the pixel cookies, IP address and browser): kept with the order record, for as long as it is kept.
You can ask us to delete your account and all associated books at any time.
Your rights
You may request a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email us and we will respond within 30 days.
Because our users are parents acting for their children, requests about a child's data should come from that child's parent or guardian.
Children
Bookulus is intended for use by adults. Accounts are created by parents or guardians, who confirm that they have the authority to upload the child's photograph and details.
