Privacy Policy of Instill Kids Bedtime Prayer

Effective Date: October 30, 2026
Last Updated: October 30, 2026

Welcome to Instill Kids Bedtime Prayer ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a safe, secure experience for you and your family. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (the "Application" or "App").

Our App is designed with a parent-first approach to help you generate personalized Christian bedtime prayers for your children. We understand that information regarding children requires the utmost care, and we have built our app to prioritize your family's privacy and data security.

1. Information We Collect

To provide our services, we collect information directly from you (the parent/guardian), as well as automatically through your use of the App.

Information You Provide to Us

• Parent Account & Authentication Data: When you create an account, we collect your email address, password, and authentication credentials.
• Child Profile Details: You may choose to create prayer profiles for your children. This includes information such as the child's name, gender, and pronunciation metadata (such as IPA or phonetic spellings). Note: This data is used exclusively for generating personalized prayer text and accurate audio. It is strictly confidential and is never displayed publicly.
• Generated Content & App Data: We collect and store the prayer text and audio generated for you, your playback history, favorites, playlists, reminder settings, and Discover content interactions.
• Support & Communication: If you contact us via support forms or emails, we collect your email address and the contents of your message.
• Subscription/Paywall Data: We track your subscription status and purchase history to grant access to premium features (payment processing is handled securely by standard app store providers).

Information Collected Automatically (Usage Data)

• Device and App Diagnostics: IP addresses, operating system, device identifiers, app crash logs, and diagnostic data to help us troubleshoot and improve the App.
• Analytics: Aggregated information about how you navigate and use the App (e.g., time spent, buttons clicked, and screen views).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To operate and maintain the App, including syncing data between your local device and our backend services.
• To generate highly personalized prayer text and natural-sounding audio based on your child's profile details.
• To manage your account, subscriptions, and customized settings (like bedtime reminders and playlists).
• To analyze app usage and diagnostics to improve performance, features, and user experience.
• To communicate with you regarding updates, support, and promotional marketing (subject to your email marketing preferences).

3. Children’s Privacy and Parental Controls

Protecting children's privacy is our highest priority. The App is intended for use by parents and guardians. We do not intend for children to create accounts or interact directly with the core services without parental supervision.

• Parental Control: All child profiles and generated content are created, controlled, and managed solely by the parent or guardian holding the account.
• No Public Display: Data associated with a child's profile, including their name and phonetic/IPA pronunciation data, is completely private, used strictly for internal generation processes, and is never made publicly accessible.
• Consent and Rights: By creating a profile for your child, you consent to our processing of this data as described in this policy. You may delete a child's profile at any time within the App, which will trigger the deletion of associated profile data.

4. App Architecture: Offline-First and Data Syncing

Instill Kids Bedtime Prayer is designed as an "offline-first" application. This means much of your data, including audio caching and saved playlists, is initially stored locally on your device for fast access and playback without an internet connection. Necessary data is then securely synced with our backend services to ensure your profiles and favorites are backed up and accessible across your devices.

5. Sharing with Third-Party Service Providers

We do not sell your personal data. We only share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our App. These include:

• Authentication and Analytics: Firebase Auth and Firebase Analytics (Google LLC) for managing user sign-ins and analyzing app performance.
• Generative Services (TTS): Inworld AI and similar remote APIs, used strictly to convert your inputs into tailored prayer text and Text-to-Speech (TTS) audio. Your data and child profile inputs are not used to train third-party AI models.
• Infrastructure, Database, and Audio Processing: Oracle Cloud servers are used for securely combining and processing audio files. We use Cloudflare to host our core app database, store generated audio files, secure our platform, and optimize network delivery.
• Subscription Management: RevenueCat is used to manage in-app purchases, paywalls, and subscription statuses across devices.
• Communications: Amazon SES and EmailOctopus for managing contact lists, delivering system emails, and sending optional newsletters.
• Hosting and Delivery: Audio storage and Content Delivery Network (CDN) providers used to store and stream generated prayer audio.
• Local Services: Push notification services (like Apple Push Notification service or Firebase Cloud Messaging) to deliver your scheduled bedtime reminders. Users may opt out of receiving push notifications via their device settings.
