Privacy · For parents

The least data we could possibly collect.

Dream Weaver was designed around a simple promise: build something delightful for your kid without becoming yet another company that knows too much about your family. Phone number for sign-in, your child's first name and a few interests, a Stripe subscription if you go Premium. That is the whole list.

The short version

  • We sign you in with your phone number. We do not collect or store your email address, your last name, or your address.
  • About your child, we store only what you tell us: a first name (or nickname), a bedtime, interests, favorite colors, and optional Story Magic details.
  • We do not collect last names, photos, voices, locations, or any sensitive data about your child.
  • Stories are generated by Google Gemini using prompts we wrote for child-safe content. Source data is not used to train AI models.
  • Payments go through Stripe. We never see your card number.
  • Reply PAUSE to any story SMS to unsubscribe and request deletion. We process deletions within 48 hours.
  • We do not sell data. We do not advertise. There are no ads in your child's stories.

What we collect

About you. About your child.

Two profiles live in Dream Weaver. Yours, the parent, used for authentication and billing. Your child's, used only as input for the story prompt.

What do you collect about me, the parent?

Your phone number, used to sign you in and to deliver the nightly story SMS. That is the only identifier we require. Dream Weaver does not ask for your email, your last name, your address, your age, or your gender.

If you subscribe to Premium, Stripe collects the billing information needed to charge your card. That data lives at Stripe, not in our database. We see only that you are an active Premium subscriber.

What do you collect about my child?

Only what you enter on the Profile page:

  • A first name or nickname (you choose what to put in this field)
  • Bedtime and timezone, so we know when to send the story
  • Interests (dinosaurs, space, ballerinas, whatever your kid is into right now)
  • Favorite colors, to flavor the imagery in stories
  • Optional: Story Magic details for Premium users (friend names, pet names, recent events like "we went to the zoo")

We do not collect or store: your child's last name, age (just the age range you select), address, school, photo, voice, location, or any other identifier. Dream Weaver does not need it and we do not want it.

Does my child have an account?

No. Only parents (or other adult caregivers) can sign in. Authentication is by your phone number, verified via SMS code. Your child is described in your account but cannot log in independently.

What stories does Dream Weaver keep, and for how long?

Every story generated for your child is saved in your Calendar so you can re-read favorites, continue an adventure, or share with grandparents. Stories stay in your account until you delete them or delete the account itself.

If you would like a specific story removed without deleting your whole account, email steve@skytech.io.

Sub-processors

The services Dream Weaver relies on.

Who are Dream Weaver's sub-processors?

A short list, kept intentionally small:

  • Google Firebase: phone authentication, database storage, and application hosting
  • Google Gemini: the AI model used to generate the story text and accompanying illustrations
  • Stripe: payment processing for Premium subscriptions
  • ClickSend: SMS gateway used to deliver story messages from (833) 564-0781 and to receive your replies (PAUSE, NEW, MORE, ADD). See ClickSend's privacy policy.

Does Google use my child's data to train AI?

No. Dream Weaver uses Google Gemini through Google Cloud's commercial API. Under the API terms, prompts and outputs are not used to train Google's general-purpose models. The full Google AI for developers data-use policy is at ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms.

The same applies to imagery: illustrations are generated on the fly for each story and are not retained by Google for training.

What does Stripe see when I subscribe to Premium?

Stripe handles the payment flow end to end. Your card number, expiration, and CVC are entered into a Stripe-hosted form and never touch Dream Weaver's servers. We receive only a tokenized reference and the metadata needed to grant Premium access. Stripe's privacy policy applies to the financial data they hold. See stripe.com/privacy.

Where is my data stored geographically?

Firebase and Gemini run on Google Cloud infrastructure, primarily in the United States. If you are an EU or UK family, your data may be transferred to and processed in the US under standard contractual clauses with Google.

Children's privacy

Dream Weaver is operated for parents, not for children.

Dream Weaver is designed and marketed to parents and other adult caregivers. Children do not sign in, do not create accounts, and do not interact directly with the service. The information stored about a child (a first name, interests, bedtime) is provided by you, the parent, as part of your account setup.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe Dream Weaver has somehow collected information from a child without a parent's involvement, contact steve@skytech.io and we will delete it promptly.

We follow the spirit of COPPA (the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act): collect as little as possible, never share with third parties for advertising, and put the parent in control of every data point about their child.

Your rights

Stopping, deleting, and asking questions.

How do I unsubscribe and delete my account?

Two paths, both end the same way:

  • Reply PAUSE to any story SMS from (833) 564-0781. This stops further messages and queues your account for deletion.
  • Or visit the help page (or the in-app Help section if you are signed in) and submit a deletion request through the form.

We process deletion requests within 48 hours. After deletion, your phone number, child profile, and entire story Calendar are removed from our database. Operational records that we are legally required to retain (Stripe transaction records, for example) may persist according to those services' own retention rules.

This action is irreversible. If you change your mind later, you can sign up again, but past stories cannot be recovered.

Can I export my child's stories before deleting?

Yes. Email steve@skytech.io and request a story export. You will receive a PDF or text bundle of every story in your Calendar. We will hold the request for 7 days so you have time to back up before any deletion processes.

What about GDPR, CCPA, or other privacy laws?

If you are protected under GDPR, CCPA, or a similar regime, you have the right to access, correct, port, and delete the data Dream Weaver holds. Email steve@skytech.io and we will respond within 30 days.

We do not sell personal information under the CCPA definition. We do not run third-party advertising anywhere in Dream Weaver.

Do you share data with anyone for marketing or advertising?

No. Dream Weaver does not have advertising partners and does not share your data with marketers, data brokers, or analytics companies. The sub-processors listed earlier are the only services that ever see your information, and each of them is contractually limited to performing the function we hired them for.

Will this policy change?

Yes, over time. When Dream Weaver changes a meaningful data practice (a new sub-processor, a new feature that collects new information), this page will be updated and the change announced on the AI for the Rest of Us newsletter at stevechazin.com. We will never quietly expand data collection.

Who is responsible for Dream Weaver?

Dream Weaver is built by Steve Chazin, a one-person operation under the skytech.io umbrella. There is no parent company on the side of this you should worry about. steve@skytech.io reaches a human.
