| Processor or controllerA processor only uses data on your school’s instructions. A controller makes its own decisions about the data, which means your school has less say. | not stated (privacy policy written as the service deciding how data is used; no school processor terms) |
| Where data is storedWhich country the data is stored in. UK or EU storage is usually simpler for schools. | not stated (says 'secure cloud storage' without naming provider or region; prompts and any uploaded photo go to ByteDance Seedream 4.0 via AtlasCloud, Black Forest Labs FLUX.1, Agnes Image/Agnes 2.0 Flash and OpenAI GPT via OpenRouter, regions not stated; no transfer safeguards stated); Google Analytics |
| Trains AI models on inputsWhether what you type (or upload) may be used to improve the supplier’s AI. “No” is what you want for anything about pupils or staff. | depends on plan - Doodara says it does not train its own models, but its privacy policy says free-tier AI providers (free plan and free tools) may retain submitted content, including uploaded photos, and use it to improve their models; it suggests a paid plan if you want photos processed only by its primary provider |
| How long inputs are keptHow long the supplier keeps what you type before deleting it. | books, characters and generated images kept in your account until you delete them; account, books and image files erased within 30 days of an emailed deletion request; payment and tax records kept by the payment provider; free-tier AI providers may retain submitted content (period not stated) |
| Data processing agreement (DPA)The data processing agreement: the contract that sets out how the supplier must look after your school’s data. | not stated |
| Signs individual DPAs with schoolsWhether the supplier will sign a data agreement with your school specifically, rather than just standard online terms. | not stated |

| Key safety noteAnything else worth knowing, such as admin controls or content filtering. | the headline feature turns a photo of a child into the star of the book, and on the free plan prompts and photos go to providers that may keep them and use them to improve their models, so do not upload pupil photos or use pupil names; no named company behind the site; storage location not stated; public gallery option lets anyone, including search engines, read a book, so keep school books private; free books are personal use only, with commercial rights on paid plans in USD (Pro $9.99/month, Premium $24.99/month, or $3.99 per book unlock) |
