Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 29, 2026

Overview

Babagigi (“we”, “us”) is a Story Circle storytelling platform. We take your privacy — and especially your children's privacy — seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

Data We Collect

  • Account information: name, email address
  • Story Circle structure: circle name, heritage language, member roles
  • Story content: audio recordings, transcripts, translations
  • Kid-created storybooks: text and optional audio pages
  • Usage data: session events for app improvement (no third-party ad tracking)

Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Babagigi is designed to be used by children only under direct parental supervision. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. Kid profiles are created and managed by parents. Children's audio recordings and storybooks are stored privately and are only accessible to circle members within the same Story Circle.

If you believe we have collected information from a child without consent, contact us at privacy@babagigi.com and we will delete it promptly.

How We Use Data

  • To provide the storytelling service
  • To transcribe, translate, and store stories
  • To manage Story Circle memberships and subscriptions
  • To improve the app (aggregated, anonymized usage only)
We do not sell your data. We do not use it for advertising.

Third-Party Services

  • Supabase — database and file storage (US-based)
  • OpenAI — audio transcription and translation
  • Anthropic — AI story helper conversations
  • Microsoft Azure — text-to-speech voices
  • Stripe — payment processing (we never store card data)

Data Retention

Stories and storybooks are retained as long as your account is active. You may delete individual stories or your entire account at any time from Settings. Account deletion permanently removes all associated circle data within 30 days.

Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by emailing privacy@babagigi.com.
