Built for child-safe storytelling

Content moderation on every story

Every prompt a user types and every piece of text or image the AI returns passes through a moderation layer before it appears on screen. We block categories that are not appropriate for children — sexual content, graphic violence, self-harm, hateful content, and anything targeting a real person in a harmful way. When a prompt is rejected, the user sees a gentle rewrite suggestion instead of a block page.

Age-appropriate by default

The recommended age range for independent use is 10+. Younger children can use Sparkytales with a parent or guardian present. Story generation is tuned for a children's-book register: friendly characters, clear pacing, and resolutions that do not end on fear or distress. You can regenerate any page that does not feel right for your reader.

Illustrations, not real people

Our image generator is restricted to fictional, illustrated characters. It will not produce photorealistic images of real children, celebrities, or identifiable individuals. Style options include watercolor, cartoon, pixel art, and storybook illustration — chosen to feel playful rather than realistic.

Privacy for young writers

Stories are private by default. Nothing appears in the public Explore feed unless the author chooses to publish it. We do not sell personal data, and we do not use children's story content to train public AI models. Accounts for children should be created and managed by a parent or guardian.

Reporting and takedowns

Every public story has a report link in its footer. Our team reviews reports within one business day and removes content that violates our community guidelines. If you are a parent, teacher, or platform partner with a concern, you can email safety@sparkytales.com.

What parents and educators can do

• Sit with young children the first few times they create a story.
• Use the regenerate button freely — it is designed to be used often.
• Review published stories before sharing a link; publishing is opt-in.
• Encourage kids to write from their own ideas rather than copying characters from elsewhere.
