Privacy Policy — Bedtime Story Maker

Last updated: 2026-10-24

Bedtime Story Maker (סיפור לפני השינה / Histoire du soir) is made by Magmanet. This policy explains what the app does with your information. The short version: your data stays on your device.

What we collect

We don't collect anything. Bedtime Story Maker has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, and it collects no usage statistics. We never see, sell or share your data.

Where your data is stored

The stories you keep, the edits a grown-up makes to them, the settings and, if a grown-up adds it, the child's first name and chosen look for the "Me!" hero are saved only on your device, in the app's private storage. The name is used only inside the stories. Everything is removed when you uninstall the app.

Stories are written on the phone from a hand-written library of story parts. No artificial intelligence and no internet service is used to write them. Reading aloud uses your device's own text-to-speech engine; the app does not record or send any audio.

The app's Copy backup feature (grown-ups area → Your data) copies your data as text to your clipboard, so you can keep it somewhere you choose. Where you paste it is up to you; the app never uploads it.

Internet use

Bedtime Story Maker works entirely offline. The only time it goes online is the update check. Once a day the app checks for a newer version by asking the Magmanet server (EU, Contabo) — the request contains only the app name, its version number and how it was installed (site/Google Play); the server counts checks per app and version in aggregate, stores no identifiers and no IP address; if the server is unavailable the app downloads the public version file from GitHub Pages instead (GitHub may see your IP address). The check carries no identifiers and nothing about your child or your device. If a newer version exists, the app shows a notice and a grown-up (behind the parent gate) chooses whether to open the download link. You can turn this off in the grown-ups area ("Check for updates automatically").

Permissions

Bedtime Story Maker's only permission is internet access, used just for the daily update check described above. It requests no location, camera, microphone, contacts or storage access.

Children

Bedtime Story Maker is designed for children. It contains no ads, no in-app purchases, no links out of the app (except the update download link, which is behind a parent gate) and no chat or social features, and it collects no personal information from anyone, including children. The child's name, settings, editing and deleting stories, and the update link are behind a parent gate (press and hold for 3 seconds).

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above and publish the new version at the same address.
