For parents
Safety & privacy, in plain language
Lorimio Songs turns a child's idea into a song and a film. Lorimio Games turns a character and a personal message into a small game to play and share. Both can involve drawings, words, and sometimes a photo. Here is exactly what happens to all of it.

Nothing is stored before it is checked
Every image uploaded to Lorimio passes an AI safety review before it reaches our storage. If the check fails, the file is refused and never saved.
Photos lose their hidden data
Phone photos carry invisible metadata, often including GPS coordinates. We re-encode every upload, which strips all of it before storage.
We do not train AI on your child's content
We do not use prompts, uploads, lyrics, or generated songs to train Lorimio's own models. Third-party AI processing and retention depend on the provider, model, and applicable terms; our privacy policy explains the distinction.
Accounts are intended for adults
The account-based service is intended for adults, parents, guardians, and educators. Children should use Lorimio with appropriate parent, guardian, or educator supervision.
What gets checked, and when
Every image is reviewed by an AI safety check before it is stored. The check is not optional and not a background job: if the safety reviewer is unavailable, the upload is refused rather than let through.
Text is checked too. When a child describes their character in their own words, that description passes a strict child-safety review before anything is generated from it. The same applies to lyrics they edit by hand.
Lorimio Songs also has a gift mode, used by adults to make a song for someone else — a birthday tribute for a grandparent, say. That mode is operated by an adult for a recipient of any age, so its content review is tuned for adult-made gifts rather than for a child at the keyboard. The child-facing experience always runs the strict review.
What happens to a photo
A photo taken on a phone usually carries hidden metadata: the camera, the timestamp, and very often the exact GPS coordinates where it was taken. Lorimio re-encodes every uploaded image, which removes all of that before the file is stored. The location where a photo was taken never reaches our storage.
Uploading a photo of a real person in gift mode requires explicitly confirming you have permission to use it. That confirmation is enforced before the image is processed, not as a checkbox that only affects the interface.
Your child's content is not training data
We do not use prompts, uploads, lyrics, generated assets, or project content to train Lorimio's own AI models. Requested generation and safety checks send relevant content to third-party AI providers. Their processing, retention and training terms vary by provider, model and service configuration.
We do not promise that every provider uses zero retention or excludes every submitted item from training. Keeping a project private in Lorimio does not remove copies held by providers. Avoid sensitive information in creative requests.
Where the data lives
The application, the database holding your account and projects, and every generated image, song, and film are hosted in the European Union. Our servers and media storage run in Belgium; error monitoring runs in Germany.
The AI generation itself is the exception, and it is worth being precise about: creating a song or an image sends the necessary prompt and media to our AI providers, and their processing may happen outside the EU under standard transfer safeguards. Our privacy policy covers this in full.
Nothing is public unless you make it public
Every project is private to your account by default. Sharing is something you turn on per project, and turning it off disables the link. Choosing the public gallery also makes the selected project visible to visitors. Selected photos can appear in a shared cover or movie. Nothing is published by default, and disabling sharing cannot recall copies someone has already downloaded.
Lorimio Games: photos, links and leaderboards
The checks above apply to Games too: images and text are reviewed before anything is generated or stored, and we do not train Lorimio's own models on your content. Games adds a few things Songs does not, so they are set out separately here.
Photos and likeness
The adult making a game can give it a character from included artwork or from one to three of their own photos. Using a photo of a real person requires confirming that you have permission from everyone pictured, and the upload is refused without that confirmation. Photos are safety-checked and re-encoded, which removes hidden location data, before they are stored.
The creator chooses how a photo is used. Used as it is, the picture itself becomes the character. Used as a reference for new artwork, it is sent to our image provider to guide the character's appearance, so the result is a stylised character that looks like the person. We do not use these photos to identify people, and uploading a photo does not start any generation.
Reference photos stay private to the creator's account. Only the character the creator chooses and publishes is shown to players, so if a photo was used as it is, players will see it. Please think about the wishes of the person pictured, and of a child's parent or guardian, before publishing.
Game links are unlisted, not private
A shared game has a link. Anyone who has that link can play the published version, see its character and read the personal details in it, such as a name, message or dedication. No account is needed to play. There is no public Games gallery, and shared game pages ask search engines not to list them, but the link works for anyone it is passed to. Share it only with people you choose.
The creator stays in control. Revoking a link stops it opening for new visits, and publishing a newer version replaces the link and stops the old one working. Revoking cannot recall a copy someone has already saved or a screenshot. Saved games, photos and artwork stay in the creator's account until they ask us to delete them, and revoking a link does not delete them. To have your Games data removed, write to support@lorimio.com; deleted files can remain recoverable in storage for seven days, as our privacy policy explains.
Group links are separate from a person's gift link. A group link shows its own message and leaves out the personal dedication and sign-off unless the creator chooses to include them. It can be closed or revoked without affecting the personal link.
Nicknames on leaderboards
A game can have a shared leaderboard. It is opt-in: a player can simply play and never appear on it. Joining needs no account. Players choose a nickname, or are given a generated one such as Player 1234, and we do not ask for a real name or an email address.
A nickname is checked before it is shown, and one that fails is not displayed. Anyone with the link can see the nicknames and best results on the board, so we suggest a nickname that is not a real name, and that parents help younger players choose one.
Players can remove their own results from the board at any time, using the same browser they played in. The creator can close a group challenge so that it stops taking new scores, revoke its link, or clear the board of a personal link. Results that see no new activity are removed after 90 days.
What the creator sees and what the player sees
The creator is an adult with a Lorimio account. They upload photos, write the message, choose what to publish, and manage links and boards. Their account, saved photos and unpublished drafts are visible only to them.
The player needs no account and may be any age. They see only the published game: its character, the message, and the leaderboard if the game has one. Joining the leaderboard is optional. They cannot reach the creator's other games, drafts or reference photos. The adult who shares a link decides who receives it. If a game reaches your child and you want it gone, ask the person who sent it to revoke the link, or write to us.
One thing we ask of you
Please keep genuinely sensitive personal details — full names of other children, addresses, schools, anything you would not want written into a song — out of prompts, lyrics, and project notes. Lorimio is built for imaginary friends and dinosaurs, and it works best when that is what it is given.
Questions, or something that looks wrong
Write to support@lorimio.com. If you believe a child provided personal information without a parent's involvement, tell us and we will review and delete it.
