Privacy and data safety

StoryBeam Kids keeps the listening room local.

StoryBeam Kids is a closed-catalog kids audio app. The website does not require accounts, does not run ads, and does not load analytics. The listening room is designed so a child can browse reviewed audio without chat, comments, open search, or surprise feeds.

This page describes the StoryBeam Kids website at storybeamkids.com. If a parent opens the App Store, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or another outside service from Parent Corner, that service handles its own data under its own policy.

On this device

What stays in the browser

• Watchlists and playlists: saved only in the browser's local storage on the device.
• Filters and player state: saved locally so the listening room feels familiar when it reopens.
• Night mode and Calm mode: saved locally so bedtime settings can load before the page paints.
• Service worker cache: stores only same-origin shell files and local assets so the page can load on weak bedtime wifi.

Not collected here

What the website does not ask for

• StoryBeam Kids does not ask children to create accounts.
• StoryBeam Kids does not include comments, messaging, or chat.
• StoryBeam Kids does not load advertising pixels or analytics scripts on the website.
• StoryBeam Kids does not cache, proxy, or rewrite podcast episode audio; cross-origin audio stays on the publisher's host.

Parent links only

Where outside links live

The kids' listening room does not contain direct outbound links. App Store, podcast, social, book, and research links live in Parent Corner, open in a new tab, and are protected by the grown-up check.
