Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 10, 2026
The short version: we use your photos and story details only to make your gift. We never sell them, we never use them in our marketing without your written permission, and we delete your photos after your order is delivered.
Who we are
Made to Tale (madetotale.com) is run by SC Studios, based in Mumbai, India. In this policy, "we" and "us" mean Made to Tale. You can reach us any time at [email protected].
What we collect
- What you send us: your name and email, the names of the people or pets in your story, the details and memories you share, the gift, style and occasion you choose, and the photos you upload.
- Payment details: payments are handled by PayPal. We see your name, email, the amount and whether it was paid. We never see or store your card number.
- Emails: anything you write to us at [email protected].
- Basic site data: our hosting provider may record standard technical information such as your IP address and browser type to keep the site secure and working. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.
How we use it
- To make your free preview and, if you order, your finished storybook, song or film.
- To email you about your order: your preview, your PayPal invoice, changes and delivery.
- To answer your questions.
We don't sell or rent your information, and we don't send marketing emails unless you ask to hear from us.
Your photos and AI tools
We make your gift with AI image, animation, voice and music tools. To design your characters, we upload your photos and story details to these tools. We choose providers that process this content to produce our work, and we don't give your photos to anyone for any other purpose. The finished characters are illustrated or animated interpretations, not copies of your photos.
We never use your photos to train AI models. We will never put your photos, your story or your finished gift on our website or social media unless you give us written permission first.
Children
Many of our stories are about children. We only accept photos and details of anyone under 18 from a parent or legal guardian, or from someone who has their permission, and our order form asks you to confirm this. Our site is meant for adults buying gifts; we don't knowingly collect information directly from children under 13. If you think a child has sent us information, email us and we'll delete it.
How long we keep it
- Photos: deleted within 30 days after your order is delivered, or within 30 days of your preview if you decide not to order.
- Your finished gift: kept for up to 90 days after delivery so we can resend it if a download link expires, then deleted. Download and save your copy.
- Order and payment records: kept as long as needed for tax and accounting.
Services we use
We rely on a few trusted companies to run Made to Tale: Tally (our order form and photo uploads), Cloudflare (website hosting), Hostinger (email), PayPal (payments) and our AI production tools. They handle your information only to provide their service to us. Some of them store data outside your country, including in the United States, the European Union and India.
Your choices and rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to:
- show you the information we hold about you,
- correct it, or
- delete it, including your photos, at any time.
Just email [email protected] from the address you used with us. We'll reply within 30 days. If you live in California or another US state with a privacy law, these are your rights under that law too, and we will not treat you differently for using them.
Security
We use secure, encrypted connections and reputable providers, and we limit access to your files to the people making your gift. No system is perfectly secure, but we take care of your photos the way we'd want ours looked after.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use photos you've already sent, we'll email you first.
