FableFox uses artificial intelligence to create personalized stories, characters, illustrations, and voice narrations. We want you to understand how we use AI technology and how we ensure the content is safe for children.

AI Technology Providers

We use the following AI services to generate content:

Google AI - For story narratives, character development, and content generation capabilities
OpenAI - For story narratives, character development, and content generation capabilities

All AI content is generated internally by FableFox based on your preferences. You do not directly interact with or prompt these AI systems.

Content Generation Process

When you request a story, our system:

Uses the selected age range to determine appropriate reading level and content complexity
Creates age-appropriate stories, characters, and illustrations based on anonymous preferences
Generates voice narration for the complete story experience
Processes content through built-in AI safety systems (OpenAI & Google AI) before our additional screening
Delivers content only after passing all safety checks

AI Content Safety

We implement multiple layers of safety protection, starting with built-in AI provider safety systems:

Google AI Built-in Safety - Non-configurable safety filters that automatically block harmful content, child safety protections that cannot be disabled, and comprehensive multimodal content analysis
OpenAI Built-in Safety - Advanced GPT-4.1 moderation model with multimodal detection, automatic CSAM and child endangerment blocking, and partnerships with child safety organizations
FableFox Additional Screening - Our secondary AI analysis system specifically evaluates content for child-appropriateness
Rule-Based Filtering - Keyword and pattern matching as a final safety layer
Age-Appropriate Content - All content is specifically tailored and filtered for children under 13
Continuous Improvement - Anonymous moderation results help improve safety systems

Content Ownership and Rights

Regarding AI-generated content:

You receive personal use rights to stories created for your child
We retain anonymized data to improve our AI models and safety systems
AI-generated content is unique but may share common elements with other stories
Commercial use of generated content requires explicit permission

Important Disclaimers

While we implement extensive safety measures, AI-generated content may occasionally contain unexpected elements or inaccuracies. We recommend parents review generated stories before sharing with children. You can report any inappropriate content through our anonymous reporting system.

6. Content Moderation and Safety

Ensuring child safety is our top priority. We have implemented a comprehensive content moderation system to protect young users and maintain Google Play compliance.

Anonymous reporting system accessible through our platform
No user registration required to submit reports
Rate limiting to prevent spam while maintaining accessibility
All reports are reviewed and addressed promptly

Moderation Data Storage

We store raw moderation responses and safety check results to improve our systems and provide transparency. This data helps us identify patterns, enhance our filtering algorithms, and respond to appeals or inquiries about content decisions.
