Effective 2026-09-25
Photo & AI Processing Notice
Reference photos are optional. This direct notice tells the adult account holder exactly what happens before the first photo is accepted.
1. Notice and controller
Notice version: photo-2026-09-17. The controller of your data is the company that operates BabyTruthsBooks, identified in our Privacy Policy. Contact: contact@neextlayer.com.
This notice supplements our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
2. Optional input and data minimization
You can create a complete book without a photograph. If you choose to add references, use up to five clear images of the same person and avoid other people, school names, addresses, documents, uniforms with identifying information, or private background details.
The app resizes each upload to a maximum 768px edge, removes the original file metadata, and combines up to five references into one reduced contact sheet for an image request. This controls cost and limits the number of separate image inputs sent to the generation provider.
3. What we do with the photo
We use visible, non-sensitive appearance cues to create a stylized fictional character and keep that character consistent across the book. Earlier generated pages may also be reused as separate continuity references for clothing, palette, recurring environments, and illustration style.
We do not use the photo to identify the person, search for matches, verify identity, build a biometric template, recognize a face, infer sensitive traits, serve advertising, make eligibility decisions, or publish the image.
4. Who receives it
- BabyTruthsBooks processes and validates the file in the browser and application service.
- OpenRouter receives the prepared reference input and routes it to OpenAI to generate the requested illustration.
- Cloudflare R2 may store a private project copy when server-side project storage is used.
- Supabase stores the versioned adult confirmation and project records, not full card data.
OpenRouter states that it does not retain prompts or outputs unless API prompt logging is enabled. OpenAI still receives and processes the illustration request and may apply endpoint-specific safety, security, and retention rules. See OpenRouter’s data-retention controls and current provider policies.
5. Retention and deletion
References remain available only as needed for the active project and requested continuity workflow, until you remove them, withdraw the confirmation, or delete the project/account, subject to limited provider security, safety, legal, and backup cycles. Generated illustrations and PDFs can remain in the project because they are the product you requested.
We minimize operational metrics so they do not contain the photo, story text, prompt, or child name.
6. Required adult confirmation
Before the app accepts a photo, you must affirm all of the following:
- I am at least 18.
- I am the parent or legal guardian, or I otherwise have permission from every identifiable person shown.
- I request that BabyTruthsBooks, OpenRouter, OpenAI, and necessary storage providers process the optional photo solely for the described book-generation and continuity purpose.
- I understand that I can create the book without a photo and can withdraw this confirmation for future use.
The service records the notice version and acceptance time. It does not ask the child to click or consent.
7. Withdrawal and parent controls
Uncheck the photo authorization in the creator before adding more photos, remove individual photos, delete the project/account, or email contact@neextlayer.com. Withdrawal stops future photo-based processing; it does not undo completed generations or processing already lawful before withdrawal.
A parent or guardian may request access to or deletion of child-related content they supplied. We may verify adult identity and authority to protect the child and account.
8. Children must not submit photos
The creator is for adults. A child under 13 must not open an account, use the microphone, upload a photo, or submit personal information directly. If that happens, contact us so we can restrict and delete the information as required. FTC guidance is available on its Children’s Privacy page.
