Privacy Policy

At YMI, we treat your family data, uploaded media, and generated content with care. This policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect the information required to personalize and deliver your books.

To create and deliver personalized books, we may collect the following categories of information:

YMI uses AI workflows to personalize images, preview pages, and voice-related assets. Where applicable, uploaded photos and audio may be processed as sensitive or biometric-like information under local law.

Strict Purpose Limitation: We only process uploaded photos and audio to create, fulfil, support, replace, or re-fulfil the specific personalized product you request. Signature Voice processing may create a synthetic version of the authorized child or adult voice for that book's narration.

No Model Training: We do not use your or your child's uploaded materials to train AI models or to create products for other users.

We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect customer data and uploaded assets.

YMI products are intended to be ordered and managed by parents or guardians. By uploading a child's image or related materials, you confirm that you are authorized to provide that data for personalization and fulfillment.

Child Voice Authorization: A child's voice may be used for a Signature Voice recording only when the person submitting it confirms that they hold all necessary rights and authorization for that use, including any parental or guardian permission required. No recording is uploaded until that confirmation is given, and it authorizes creation of the synthetic narration for that book only.

No Child Marketing: We do not use children's uploaded materials for profiling, advertising, or unrelated marketing purposes.

Analytics and Advertising Exclusion: We do not intentionally send a child's name, age, uploaded photo or audio, generated likeness, personalized book title, or other child profile information to Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, or another advertising provider.

YMI Story uses cookies and similar browser technologies for different purposes. Necessary storage supports functions such as authentication, cart, checkout, security, regional preferences, and remembering your privacy choices. Necessary storage cannot be disabled through Cookie Settings because the service may not function correctly without it.

Optional technologies are disabled unless and until you grant the matching choice in Cookie Settings.

Google Analytics may set first-party cookies such as _ga and property-specific _ga cookies to distinguish consented users and sessions. Google documents a default cookie duration of up to two years, subject to browser limits and YMI's configuration. YMI will configure user-level and event-level Google Analytics retention to two months. Google and Meta may retain data under their own terms, settings, and legal obligations. YMI periodically reviews its configuration and keeps provider access only while it is needed for the purposes described above.

You can accept, reject, or change optional choices at any time through Cookie Settings in the website footer. Withdrawing consent stops future optional collection from YMI Story after the updated choice takes effect and removes reachable YMI-domain analytics or advertising cookies where technically possible. It cannot recall information already sent to a provider. You can also clear cookies through your browser and use the privacy and advertising controls offered by Google and Meta.

You can review provider privacy information at the following official pages:

We may share limited data with trusted service providers only when necessary to operate the service, such as hosting, payments, production, shipping, and technical infrastructure.

Signature Voice uses a short authorized child or adult voice sample to create a synthetic voice and generated narration only for the personalized physical book covered by your consent. The same retention schedule applies whether the narrator is the child in the book or an adult. Processing may be performed manually and with authorized service providers, with access limited to authorized personnel. The following operational retention periods apply unless a legal hold, active dispute, fraud review, or other binding obligation requires a limited extension.

Eligible deletion requests remove platform copies when legal and operational holds no longer apply. Deleting YMI Story's platform copies cannot remotely erase narration already loaded onto and delivered inside a physical book.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data.

Because YMI operates online and serves multiple regions, your data may be processed in jurisdictions outside your place of residence. We use reasonable safeguards for such transfers.

Where you consent to optional analytics or advertising, Google or Meta may process limited technical and event data in countries outside your place of residence. Their processing is also governed by their privacy terms and applicable transfer safeguards.

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material updates will be reflected on this page and may also be communicated through the site or your registered email address.
