Privacy policy

The short version

• The only personal information we keep is a parent’s email address, and only when you give it to us: for a free printable, a story keepsake, news of new activities after the AI Habits Check, or a place on a waitlist.
• We never save your child’s name, grade, answers or stories. The AI Habits Check and the Learner Permit run entirely in your browser.
• We don’t sell or share personal information, and the site has no ads, no tracking pixels and no cookies.

What we collect

A parent’s email address

There are four places on the site where you can type your email address: the keepsake form on the Bedtime Story Machine, the sign-up box after the AI Habits Check, the free-printable form in each article, and the “Snap your worksheet” waitlist on the homework pages. When you use one, we add your email address to our mailing list at MailerLite, along with which of the four forms it came from and the date. We keep no other copy. We use it to send you what you asked for, plus the occasional email about new printables and articles.

What we don’t collect

We never save your child’s name, grade, answers or stories. The AI Habits Check and the Learner Permit run entirely in your browser. Nothing a child types into this site is saved by us.

How the tools handle your child’s information

The AI Habits Check and the Learner Permit

Your child’s grade, your answers and the first name on the permit are scored and drawn on the page, in your browser. They are never sent to us or saved anywhere, and they’re gone when you close the tab. The permit PDF is made in your browser too.

The Bedtime Story Machine

When you make a story, the choices you pick or type (the setting, the lesson and the sidekick) go to Anthropic’s Claude AI service so it can write the story. Your child’s name stays in your browser and is added to the story on your screen. We also send “he,” “she” or “they” so the story gets the hero right. Your browser picks it from the name, and the name itself is never sent.

We use Anthropic’s Claude API on a paid account. Anthropic deletes what we send and the story it writes within 30 days and doesn’t use them to train its AI models. If Anthropic’s automated safety systems flag a request, Anthropic may keep it for up to 2 years. Your child’s name is never part of what Anthropic receives. Before anything is sent, our server checks the other story fields, and anything that looks like personal details, such as an email address or a phone number, is not sent at all. Please still don’t type anything personal into them.

The story tool asks you to confirm that you’re a parent or guardian aged 18 or over before it writes a story. A line under each story says whether AI wrote it just now or it came from our own collection. We use the collection when the AI can’t write a story, for example because the service is busy.

We don’t save the choices or the story. If you ask for the printable keepsake, the setting and a short version of the sidekick go to fal.ai, which draws the picture. The picture comes back to your browser and we don’t keep it. Your child’s name is never part of that request. The keepsake PDF is made in your browser.

Who handles information for us

We use a small number of services to run the site. Each one gets only what it needs to do its job.

Children’s privacy and COPPA

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a US law about collecting personal information online from children under 13. AiWhizzkids is written for parents and other adults, and the tools are meant to be used by a parent sitting with their child. We don’t ask children for personal information, we don’t knowingly collect it from anyone under 13, and we never contact a child.

The AI Habits Check and the Learner Permit keep your child’s grade, answers and first name in your browser. The story tool adds your child’s name to the story on your screen and sends a stand-in name to Anthropic instead.

If you think your child has sent us personal information, for example by typing their own email address into a form, email us at hello@aiwhizzkids.ai. We’ll delete it within 30 days. As a parent you can also ask us at any time what we hold and have it deleted.

How long we keep things

• Email addresses: kept in MailerLite while you’re subscribed. We delete an address within 30 days of an unsubscribe or a request to delete it. Deleting it from MailerLite erases it completely.
• Story choices, stories and keepsake pictures: not stored by us. They exist only for the time it takes to write the story or draw the picture. Anthropic deletes story requests within 30 days, as described above, and fal.ai handles the picture request under its own terms.
• AI Habits Check answers, your child’s grade and the name on a permit: never reach us.
• Server logs: our host keeps short-lived request logs, such as IP addresses and error messages, so we can run and fix the site. Vercel deletes them automatically after a short period.
• Page-view counts: kept as totals, with no cookies and nothing that follows you to other sites.

Security

The whole site is served over HTTPS. Your email address goes from our server straight to MailerLite, and the keys for every service above stay on the server, never in the page. Only AiWhizzkids has access to the list. Our error logs record what went wrong, never the email address or anything a child typed.

Selling and sharing

We don’t sell or share personal information, and the site has no ads, no tracking pixels and no cookies. We don’t sell, rent or trade email addresses, and we don’t share them with advertisers.

Cookies

This site sets no cookies, so there is no cookie banner. Vercel Web Analytics counts page views without them. If you follow a link to Etsy, Payhip or Pinterest, those sites set their own.

Do Not Track

We don’t track visitors across other sites, so there is nothing for a Do Not Track signal to turn off. The site works the same way whether or not your browser sends one.

Your choices

Every email we send has an unsubscribe link. You can also write to hello@aiwhizzkids.ai at any time to see, correct or delete what we hold about you.

Changes to this policy

When we change this policy, we’ll update the effective date at the top of this page. If a change affects how we use your email address, we’ll email subscribers before it takes effect.
