Privacy Policy — Kids Bible

Last Updated: 2026/5/28

1. Acceptance of Terms

Kids Bible (“Kids Bible”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your child’s privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to Kids Bible and its various versions and is part of our Terms of Use. By accessing or using our Application, you acknowledge and fully understand this Privacy Policy and freely consent to the practices described here.

Kids Bible is an app in Apple’s Made for Kids category. We have designed every part of this app — and this policy — around the principle of collecting as little information as possible. None of the data collected by this app is linked to your child’s identity.

2. Data We Collect

We collect the following categories of data, none of which is linked to your child’s identity:

User Content

Character Name — Used for App Functionality, stored on-device

The app asks you to choose a character name for the main child character in stories. We recommend a biblical name such as David, Sarah, Ruth, or Noah; you may use any name you wish. The app does not ask for, and does not need, the child’s real name.

The character name is stored only on the device, in standard iOS user preferences. It is not sent to the AI provider that writes story text, and it is not sent to the AI provider that generates illustrations — both receive only a placeholder token ([CHILD_NAME]), which is replaced with the chosen character name locally after the story is returned to the device. The character name is included in narration text sent to the text-to-speech provider so that the narrator can pronounce it; no other identifying metadata is attached to that request.

Age Range and Story Preferences — Used for App Functionality

You may enter the child’s age and pick story preferences (story length, vocabulary level, narrator voice, rhyming, modern parallels). Age is sent to our AI provider as a coarse age band (for example, “young child (5-7)”) — never as a specific number. Story preferences are sent so the AI can shape the story appropriately. None of this is linked to your child’s identity.

On iOS 26 and later, with the parent’s consent, we may use Apple’s Declared Age Range API to receive a coarse age band that the parent has already approved through Family Sharing’s child account setup. When that band is provided by Apple, we use it in place of the manual age picker. The parent can decline sharing at the system prompt; if so, the manual picker is used instead. In either case, no birth date is transmitted to us.

Identifiers

Anonymous Device ID — Used for App Functionality, and Other Purposes

An anonymous device identifier is collected to ensure secure and reliable AI service routing. This identifier is not linked to your child’s personal identity and is not used for advertising or cross-app tracking.

Purchases

Purchase History — Used for App Functionality

If a parent makes an in-app purchase, transaction data is processed by Apple and RevenueCat to manage the subscription. This data is used only to provide access to premium features. For child accounts, Apple’s “Ask to Buy” feature routes the purchase request to the family organizer for approval before any transaction completes.

Other Data

Other Data Types — Used for App Functionality

Anonymous service data, including IP address, is collected by our AI routing proxy to ensure secure AI service delivery. This data is not linked to your child’s identity.

3. How AI Story Generation Works

This section describes in detail how Kids Bible processes story generation, in keeping with Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines and applicable children’s privacy laws.

What is sent to our AI provider for story text?

When a story is generated, the following is sent to our AI provider (OpenRouter, Inc., via the AIProxy routing service):

The character name is never transmitted to the text AI. On-device, after the story is returned, the placeholder is replaced with the chosen character name for display and narration.

What is sent to our text-to-speech provider for narration?

When narration audio is generated, the rendered story text — which contains the character name in the spoken sentences, so that the narrator can pronounce it — is sent to our TTS provider (ElevenLabs, via AIProxy). The TTS provider receives only the text and voice settings; no other identifying metadata is attached. Because the recommended character names are biblical, the value the TTS provider receives is typically indistinguishable from any other biblical name appearing in the story.

What is sent to our AI provider for illustrations?

Image prompts are generated by the text AI and describe biblical scenes. The character-name placeholder is intentionally left in place in image prompts and is not substituted on-device, so that the image provider never receives the character name in any form.

Is any of this data retained?

No. Generated stories and audio are returned to the device for local playback and history. Our AI and TTS providers process the request and return the result; we do not maintain copies of prompts, generated stories, or audio on our own servers.

Summary

Question Answer
Is the character name sent to the text AI? No. A placeholder is sent instead and replaced on-device.
Is the character name sent to the illustration AI? No. The placeholder is left in image prompts.
Is the character name sent to the text-to-speech AI? Yes, in the narration text so it can be voiced. No other identifying metadata is attached.
Is the child’s exact age sent? No. Only a coarse age band.
Does the app ask for the child’s real name? No. The app asks for a character name and recommends biblical names.
Are stories stored on our servers? No. They live only on the device.
Is any usage activity tracked? No. Behavioral analytics are disabled.

4. Children’s Privacy

Kids Bible is designed for children, and we comply with applicable children’s privacy laws, including the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including provisions relating to children (GDPR-K).
