Privacy Policy & Terms of Service

Dad Stahp! is built for parents who want to embarrass their kids with slang. The site isn't a "kids' app," but there's nothing on it that prevents a minor from using it. If you're a parent or guardian and you don't want your child to use the site, please supervise their access. We do not knowingly build user profiles of children, and we don't run targeted advertising at children.

• Translator input. The slang text you type into the translator is sent to our AI provider so it can produce a translation. Don't paste anything sensitive (real names, addresses, passwords, medical info, etc.) into the translator. Assume anything typed there is processed by a third-party AI service.
• Account info. If you create an account, we collect the email address and any profile info you provide. We use it to sign you in and to contact you about the service.
• Anonymous analytics. We collect aggregated, non-identifying usage data (pages visited, rough device type, referrer) to understand how the site is used and to fix bugs.
• Advertising cookies. The site may display third-party ads. Those ad networks may set their own cookies and use device identifiers to serve and measure ads. Their use of your data is governed by their own privacy policies.
• Standard server logs. Like every website, our hosting provider records standard request data (IP address, timestamp, user agent) for security and reliability.

• To run the translator and the rest of the site's features.
• To maintain your account and respond to support requests.
• To improve the site, measure traffic, and debug problems.
• To serve and measure advertising.
• To comply with applicable U.S. law.

We don't sell your personal information for money. Some advertising cookies may count as a "sale" or "share" of personal information under certain U.S. state laws — see "Your rights" below.

• AI provider — to process translator input and return a translation.
• Hosting & infrastructure providers — to actually serve the site to your browser.
• Analytics provider — to give us anonymous usage stats.
• Advertising partners — to display and measure ads.
• Payment processor — if you buy something, the payment is processed by a PCI-compliant third party (e.g., Stripe). We never see or store your full card number.
• Law enforcement — if we are legally required to.

We use cookies and similar storage for: (a) keeping you signed in, (b) remembering preferences, (c) anonymous analytics, and (d) advertising. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings, but parts of the site may stop working if you do.

Depending on where you live (for example California, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, Utah, and other U.S. states with privacy laws), you may have the right to:

• Know what personal information we hold about you.
• Request a copy of it.
• Request that we delete it.
• Request that we correct inaccurate information.
• Opt out of targeted advertising or any "sale"/"share" of your information.

To exercise any of these rights, email tim@fatbeardmedia.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

We keep account information for as long as your account is active, and translator inputs only as long as needed to return a translation and basic abuse-prevention logs. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, but no online service is 100% secure.

By using Dad Stahp! you agree that:

• The site is provided "as is" and for entertainment purposes. Slang translations are best-effort and frequently wrong on purpose.
• You will not use the site to harass, defame, or harm anyone, to generate content that targets minors sexually, or to break any law.
• You won't try to scrape, overload, reverse engineer, or otherwise abuse the service.
• All site content (branding, copy, code, design) is owned by Dad Stahp! / Fat Beard Media. You may use translations for personal, non-commercial embarrassment of your own children.
• If you purchase anything on the site, the price, description, and any refund terms shown at checkout apply. Digital goods are generally non-refundable once delivered, unless the law in your state says otherwise.
• We may update, change, or shut down features at any time without notice.

To the maximum extent allowed by U.S. law, Dad Stahp! and Fat Beard Media are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site — including, but not limited to, eye rolls, slammed doors, or kids refusing to ride in your car. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the prior 12 months, or (b) USD $50.

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of the operator's primary residence, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located there, and you consent to that jurisdiction.

We may update this page from time to time. The "Effective" date at the top shows the most recent version. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the new version.
