Kidoory does not:
We use only a single essential session cookie to maintain your order session. No consent banner is needed because we use no non-essential cookies.
We take children's privacy with the utmost seriousness. Our service is directed at adults (parents and gift-givers) who are creating books for children. Kidoory does not knowingly collect any personal data from children directly.
Your child's photos are processed only in your browser and are never transmitted to us or to any third party. The text details you provide are sent to our AI partners (Google and Anthropic) solely to generate the book, are not used to train their models, and are not retained by us afterwards. The child's first name stored for printing is not linked to any other personal information. If you are in the UK/EU and wish to exercise any data rights, contact [email protected].
We use the minimum number of cookies possible. Here is exactly what we use and why:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Essential? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | Maintains your order session | Session only | ✅ Yes |
| kidoory-theme | Remembers your dark/light mode preference | 1 year | ✅ Yes |
| kidoory-lang | Remembers your language preference | 1 year | ✅ Yes |
We use zero advertising cookies, zero tracking cookies, and zero analytics cookies. No third-party cookies are placed by us. Stripe may place their own payment security cookies during checkout — see Stripe's Privacy Policy.
To show you prices in your local currency, we detect your approximate country using Cloudflare's built-in country signal (the standard CF-IPCountry header derived from your connection). Here is exactly what this means:
You can always override your currency and language using the switchers in the navigation. Your preference is saved in your browser (not our servers).
If you are based in the UK or EU, you have the following rights:
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
We retain order data (shipping address, email, order ID) for 7 years as required by UK financial regulations for tax records. After 7 years, all order data is permanently deleted. Story content and personalisation data are deleted immediately after your order is dispatched to our print partner.
All data is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. Our infrastructure is hosted on Cloudflare, which provides enterprise-grade security. We conduct regular security reviews and follow security best practices.
If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of Kidoory after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
