Children's Privacy Notice

For parents and guardians

This notice describes how Summer Dreams LLC handles information from children under 13, consistent with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Operator contact: Summer Dreams LLC, PO Box 50004, Idaho Falls, ID 83405, Summerdreamsllc@gmail.com.

What children can do without consent

Read the book, hear narration, choose bonus endings, save reading places on the device, download coloring pages and view the Dream Wall. None of these send a child's personal information to us.

Features that need your consent

Character chat, the Story Maker, the Dream Jar (including sharing to the Dream Wall) and drawing uploads. These send what your child types or draws to our servers and to our AI provider (Anthropic, via Emergent) to create replies. They stay locked until a grown-up answers an adult question, gives an email address and clicks the confirmation link we send.

What we ask children not to share

Children are asked to use a first name only. We automatically block messages that look like full names, home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses or school names, and we never ask children for them.

Disclosure

We do not sell or rent children's information and we do not use it for advertising. Dream Wall posts show only a first name, the dream and an optional drawing, and only after you allow sharing and we review each post.

Your rights

You can review your child's information, switch features off, stop further collection, or ask us to delete it at any time. Use the For Parents page or email us. Deletion requests are confirmed by a link sent to your email.

Retention

Chats, stories, unshared dreams and drawings are deleted automatically after 90 days. Approved Dream Wall posts remain until you ask us to remove them.
