Privacy

In short

• Accounts are for adults. Children do not sign up.
• A photo you add (a child, a pet, a place, a drawing) is used only for the drawing, the story or the clip you asked for. It is not stored on our servers.
• We do not sell your data and we show no advertising.
• The only cookie we set is the one that keeps you signed in.

Who we are

Toonino is run by DP Digital.

For anything on this page, write to info@dpdigitalco.com.

What we keep

• Your account: your email address, and a password that our account provider keeps only in a scrambled form that cannot be read back. Also when you signed up and when you last signed in.
• What you make: your story ideas, the scripts, the names and descriptions of your characters and places, your settings, what you write to the studio inside a project, and the files the studio makes for you (drawings, voice recordings, music, clips, finished videos and book pages).
• Your credits: how many you have, and a list of what was spent or added and for which kind of work.
• Technical records: the company that hosts the site keeps short-lived records of requests (the address of your connection, the time, the page that was asked for). They are used to keep the site running and safe.

We do not ask for a child’s date of birth, address, school or any identity document. A child’s first name is on our servers only when you type it into a story.

Photos and pictures you add

You can add a picture in several places: to draw a character or a place from it, to make a book from your photos, to show the studio a drawing or a document, or to bring one picture to life as a clip.

• The picture is kept in the browser of your own device.
• It is sent to our server only together with the one request that needs it, and passed on to the AI model that does that piece of work.
• We do not save it on our servers and we do not write it into any record.
• What is saved is the result: the drawing, the story or the clip that was made from it.

Before a picture is sent we ask you to confirm that it is yours to use, and that you are the parent or legal guardian of any child in it. Photographs of real people are not turned into clips.

To remove a picture, take it off the character, place or page in the studio, or clear this site’s data in your browser.

Your own voice, music and logo

In the Creator studio you can record a line in your own voice, add your own music, and add the logo of your channel.

• A recorded line and a piece of music are made into a sound file on our server and saved with the files of your account, like a line the studio records itself: the video cannot be put together without them.
• The logo is kept with the project it belongs to, and is remembered in your browser for your next video.
• None of them is sent to an AI model. They are only laid into your video.

When you take a recording or your music off a project it is no longer used in it. To have the file itself deleted from our servers, write to us.

Add only music and logos that are yours to publish.

How your stories are made

Writing, drawing, voices, music and animation are done by AI models. To do a piece of work, we send the words it needs (and a picture, when you added one for it) through OpenRouter, a service that passes requests on to the companies that run the models, such as Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, ByteDance, Kuaishou, Alibaba and Runway. Which of them is used depends on the work and on the models you choose.

We send them only what the piece of work needs. We never send your email address or anything else about your account. They handle what they receive under their own terms.

We do not use your stories, pictures or photos to train AI models.

Who helps us run the site

• Supabase keeps the accounts, the database (your projects, your library, your credits) and your files. The files are in a private store: they can be reached only through our site, by the account they belong to.
• Vercel runs the site itself.
• OpenRouter and the model companies named above do the AI work.
• Cloudflare answers for the site’s address on the internet.

These companies may handle data in countries other than yours, among them the United States and countries of the European Union.

Paddle.com sells the plans, as our reseller and the merchant of record for every order. When you buy a plan, Paddle takes the payment and sends the invoice: it receives your name, your email address, your country and your payment details. We never see or store your card number. Paddle tells us which plan was paid for and until when, so that the credits can be added to your account.

Sales are being set up: until they open, nothing about you is passed to Paddle.

Cookies and your browser

We set one kind of cookie: the one that keeps you signed in. We use no advertising cookies and no outside statistics or tracking service.

To run the site and to help the people using it, the site tells our own server which of its pages is open. We see the page, the country and town the connection comes from, the kind of device and browser, and the site you came from. The address your device connects from is used for a moment to work that out and is not kept. For this, nothing is stored on your device. If you are not signed in, you are told apart from other visitors by a mark that changes every day, so we cannot follow you from one day to the next. This is deleted a week after your last visit. What we keep after that are only counts for each day: how many visitors came, from which countries, with which kinds of device and browser, and from which sites. Nobody can be told apart in those counts.

The help box in the corner is a chat with us. What you write there and what we answer is kept for up to six months so that we can help you, and is tied to your account when you are signed in. If you are not signed in, your conversation can only be shown to you on the same day.

The studio also keeps things in your browser’s own storage, so that it is quick and so that photos stay with you: your projects and library as you last saw them, the photos you added, and a note that you agreed to how added pictures are used.

Why we use it

• To give you the service you signed up for: your account, your studio, your files and your credits.
• To write to you about your account: confirming your email address, resetting a password, and important changes to the service.
• To keep the site safe and to stop misuse.
• To meet a legal duty, when there is one.

How long we keep it

• Your account and what you make are kept until you delete them or ask us to delete your account.
• A project you delete disappears from your account at once. Files that belonged to it may stay in our private store for a time after that; write to us and we remove them straight away, and they are removed when your account is deleted.
• The host’s technical records are kept for the short time the host sets.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of what we keep about you, to correct it, to delete it, or to stop using it. Write to info@dpdigitalco.com from the email address of your account; we answer within 30 days.

If you think we handled your data wrongly, you can also complain to the data protection authority of your country.

Children

The site is made for adults, not for children, and we do not knowingly keep an account for anyone under 18. If you believe a child has signed up, write to us and we delete the account.

Keeping it safe

The site is reached over an encrypted connection, files are private to their account, and the AI work can be asked for only by someone who is signed in. No system is perfectly safe, so please also keep your own copies of the videos and books you care about.

Changes to this page

When what we do changes, this page changes with it and gets a new date. If a change matters for you, we tell you by email first.
