Safety Protocol

Safeguards built in for children.

This is the detail behind every short safety note you've seen elsewhere on this site: what we screen, what we never allow, and exactly what happens to your child's data.

Every story is screened

Automated checks, every story

Generated story text is checked automatically, and pictures flagged by a child-safety check are blocked. No check is perfect, so please read and review books before reading together.

You can read it first

You can read and review a book's words and pictures before reading together. Picture redraw is available for eligible books when that feature is enabled.

No check is perfect, which is exactly why we make it easy for you to look too.

No open chat, ever

Children share stories, not messages

There is no open chat feature anywhere in BrimStack, for a child to send, receive, or be exposed to. What gets shared is a finished book, nothing else.

Adults set the starting point

In a classroom setting, teachers and adults control the prompts and student setup, a child is never left to start from a blank, unsupervised input.

Voice features need you

You choose when to record

Story-idea recording starts when you press the microphone button and your browser permits microphone access. Scored reading features, when available, separately require saved parent and voice consent. You can withdraw that voice consent in your account.

How voice is processed

Raw microphone recordings are sent to our transcription provider and are not saved by BrimStack after processing. Transcripts and reading results may be saved. Our Privacy Policy explains provider processing and retention, including what is still being confirmed.

You're always in control

You control family-book share links

The account that owns an eligible family book can create or turn off its share link. School books use separate teacher-managed home-practice access.

Teachers see progress, not the chatter

In schools, teachers can review recorded practice and lesson reviews for the pupils they are authorised to support, without any of it running through an open feed.

Home support without extra accounts

Books and practice material can be shared home as simple, printable pages, so a family can support reading at home without creating another child account anywhere.

What we collect, and for how long

We collect information to make BrimStack work. The categories below explain how it is used; our Privacy Policy gives retention details and exceptions.

Child profile & story preferences: Kept while the account is active, so saved books stay accessible to the family.
Reading & progress records: Used to track Reading Journey progress and tailor what comes next.
Voice recordings: Raw microphone recordings are not saved by BrimStack after processing. Transcripts and reading results may be saved; provider retention is explained in our Privacy Policy.
Usage logs: Security, usage and error logs help us run and protect the service. See our Privacy Policy for retention details and exceptions.
Deletion requests: You can delete your account in account settings. This removes account records and attempts to remove associated generated images. See our Privacy Policy for retention, backup details and limitations.
Your controls: Review, export, or delete your account's data in account settings. Deleting your account also withdraws consent.

Even with every filter in place, we still recommend reading alongside young children.
