Privacy

Last updated 9 November 2026. The short version: reading as a guest stays on your device. An account is optional, and it holds only what it needs to keep your place.

What we do not do

• No advertising and no advertising cookies.
• No social media pixels, no cross-site trackers, no fingerprinting.
• No selling or sharing of personal information.
• No child accounts and no collecting anything from children — see Children below.

If you read as a guest

The reader stores your preferences in your browser's local storage: text size, line spacing, light or dark theme, how far through each story you have read, and how far through a narration you have listened, plus your listening speed. This information stays on your device, is never transmitted to us, and disappears if you clear your browser data. Every story on the site is readable this way — an account is never required.

If you create an account (optional)

Accounts are for parents and adult readers. Creating one is optional.

• What we collect: the email address you sign up with, a username, your password (stored only as a hash, never in readable form), an optional display name, and the account type you pick — reading with kids, for yourself, or both. Sign-up never asks for a child's name, birthdate, or contact details.
• What syncs with the account: how far you are through each story, the stories you favourite, and your reader preferences (text size, spacing, theme) — only while you are signed in. Signing out returns you to browser-only storage.
• Account email: we use your address to confirm it and to reset your password when you ask. If you opt in to the newsletter when it launches, you get a weekly email, and every message has an unsubscribe link. We send nothing else.
• How mail is delivered: through Resend, our transactional email provider, which processes the address only to deliver the message.
• The sign-in session: a token lives in your browser's session storage and clears when the tab closes.
• Deleting it: write to [email protected] and we remove the account and its synced data. Guest data can be cleared from your browser at any time.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies and without identifying individual visitors. It reports aggregate numbers such as which pages were read and roughly where in the world readers are. It does not build a profile of you and cannot follow you to other sites.

Children

This site is made for children, so we deliberately collect nothing from them. Accounts here are parent/reader accounts only: the account holder is an adult, and sign-up never asks for a child's name, birthdate, or contact details. There are no comments, no uploads, and no way for a child to send us personal information through the site. If you believe a child has sent us personal information by email, write to us and we will delete it.

Server logs

Our host, Cloudflare, processes requests in order to serve the site and protect it from abuse, and keeps short-lived technical logs for that purpose. We do not use those logs to identify readers.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it. Questions go to [email protected]. See also the terms of use.
