The photo makes the book

Think school picture day: your child looking at the camera, face clear and well lit, no one else in the frame. Any age works, as long as the face is easy to see.

How we keep your child's photo safe

Stored in a private, encrypted storage bucket that is never publicly reachable. Used for one thing: illustrating and quality-checking this child's book. Sent to our illustration service under a paid business agreement that does not use customer content to train AI. Never sold, never shared for advertising. Deleted automatically after 90 days unless you ask us to keep it, and deleted sooner the moment you ask.
