2. Photo Processing (Important)
We DO NOT store original photos on our servers. Photos are processed using AI vision technology to extract text descriptions of physical characteristics only. These descriptions are saved, but the original photos are immediately discarded after analysis.
How it works:
- You select a photo from your device
- Photo is sent to OpenAI GPT-4o Vision API for analysis
- AI generates a text description (e.g., "brown hair, blue eyes, fair skin")
- Text description is saved to our database
- Original photo is immediately deleted and never stored
Why this matters: This approach eliminates privacy risks associated with storing children's photos while still enabling personalized story illustrations.
