Privacy Policy
Last updated June 16, 2026
Brave Star Books, an imprint of Orion Lakes Books, cares about your family's privacy. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and your choices. It works alongside our Terms of Service.
What we collect
- The photo you upload of your child, used to illustrate your book.
- Book detailsyou enter: your child's first name, age, girl/boy, and an optional dedication.
- Order & contact information: your email and shipping address.
- Payment information: handled directly by Stripe. We receive a confirmation, not your full card number.
- Website & device data: basic analytics and advertising data (see Cookies & the Meta Pixel below).
A note about children's information
Our service is intended for adults (parents, guardians, and gift-givers). A child's photo and first name are provided to us by an adult who confirms they have the right and consent to share them. We do not knowingly collect information directly from children, and the details we receive are used only to create the keepsake book that adult ordered.
How we use your information
- To illustrate, produce, print, and ship your personalized book.
- To process your payment and send you order updates.
- To provide support and honor our reprint/guarantee commitments.
- To improve our website and, if you opt in, to send you offers.
We never sell your photo or your child's information, and we never use your photo to train AI models.
Who we share it with (service providers)
We share data only with the partners that help us run the service:
- Supabase: secure storage of your photo, order, and book data.
- Our illustration providers (fal.ai and Google's paid Gemini API): your photo is sent to generate the artwork. We use paid, business tiers that do not train on your images.
- Stripe: to process payments securely.
- Our print & fulfillment partner: to print and ship your book to you.
- Vercel: website hosting.
- Meta: advertising and measurement, as described below.
Cookies & the Meta Pixel
Our site uses cookies and the Meta Pixel (a small piece of code from Facebook/Instagram) to understand how visitors use the site, measure our ads, and show relevant ads to people who have visited us. This may involve sharing limited activity (such as pages viewed or a purchase) with Meta. You can control ad tracking through your browser settings and your Meta ad preferences.
How long we keep your photo
We keep your uploaded photo and book files only as long as needed to create your book, fulfill your order, and handle any reprint or support requests, after which they may be deleted. You can ask us to delete your photo at any time and we will do so unless we are required to keep order records for legal or accounting reasons.
Security
We use reputable providers and reasonable safeguards to protect your information. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your family's data safe.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete your information, and you can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in those emails. To make any request, email us at hello@orionlakes.com.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy; the “last updated” date shows the current version.
