You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of our emails.
Unsubscribing from marketing communications will not prevent us from sending necessary transactional communications relating to an order or inquiry.
4. Contact and Inquiry Forms
When you contact us through a website form, we may collect the information you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, event information, message, and other contact details.
Some contact forms on our website may be provided or processed through third-party services such as Wufoo.
These providers may process the information you submit according to their own privacy policies and terms.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information through a general contact form unless it is specifically requested and necessary.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential website functionality and improve your experience.
Cookies may be used to:
Remember items placed in your shopping cart
Maintain website sessions
Remember preferences
Help secure the website
Measure website traffic and performance
Understand how visitors use the website
If you leave a comment and comments are enabled, the website may also offer to save your name, email address, or website in cookies for your convenience.
You can generally control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may cause portions of the website, including shopping-cart functionality, to stop working properly.
7. Analytics and Website Performance
We may use website analytics or performance tools to understand how visitors use the website.
These technologies may collect information such as pages viewed, approximate geographic region, browser type, device information, referring pages, and IP address.
We use this information primarily to maintain and improve the website and understand overall visitor activity.
8. Embedded Content and Third-Party Websites
Pages on this website may contain embedded videos, images, social-media features, links, or other content from third-party websites.
Embedded content may behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. Those third parties may collect data about you, use cookies, or monitor your interaction with their content.
Our website also contains links to other websites and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of websites that we do not operate.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party websites before providing personal information to them.
9. How We Share Information
We may disclose personal information to service providers when reasonably necessary to operate our website and business, including providers that assist us with:
Website hosting
WordPress and website functionality
Ecommerce services
Payment processing
Order fulfillment and shipping
Email marketing
Contact forms
Website security
Analytics
Professional accounting or legal services
We may also disclose information when required by law, court order, governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, our customers, or the security of our website.
We do not sell your personal information for money.
10. Children’s Privacy
Our books and educational content are created for young readers, but website features that collect personal information—including purchasing, newsletter registration, and contact forms—are intended to be used by parents, guardians, educators, and other adults.
Children under 13 should not submit names, email addresses, home addresses, photographs, or other personal information through this website without the involvement and authorization of a parent or legal guardian.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without appropriate parental authorization.
If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected in circumstances requiring parental consent, we will take appropriate steps to delete the information or otherwise comply with applicable children’s privacy requirements.
A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information to us may contact us through our Contact page.
Because federal COPPA requirements can depend on whether a website is considered directed to children and what information it collects, this section should be reviewed whenever new interactive services for children are added to the website. The FTC requires covered services to provide additional protections and, in many circumstances, verifiable parental consent.
11. How Long We Keep Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law.
For example:
Newsletter information may be retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
Order information may be retained as necessary for customer service, accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, and legal purposes.
Contact inquiries may be retained as long as reasonably necessary to respond and maintain appropriate business records.
Website security and technical logs may be retained for a limited period for security, troubleshooting, and fraud-prevention purposes.
We may retain certain information for longer when required by applicable law.
12. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live, applicable privacy law may give you rights concerning your personal information.
These may include the right to request:
Access to personal information we maintain about you
Correction of inaccurate information
Deletion of certain personal information
Information about how personal information is used or disclosed
Withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent
You can also unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails.
Some rights may be subject to legal exceptions, identity verification, or other limitations.
13. California Privacy Information
California residents may have additional privacy rights under applicable California law.
California’s Online Privacy Protection Act requires qualifying commercial websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to conspicuously provide privacy disclosures.
If applicable to you, you may contact us to request information about personal information we maintain about you or to request appropriate access, correction, or deletion.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights provided by applicable law.
14. Do Not Track and Privacy Signals
Some web browsers provide a “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signal.
Because there is not a single universally implemented standard governing all Do Not Track signals, our website may not respond to every browser Do Not Track setting.
Where applicable law requires us to recognize a legally valid browser-based privacy preference or opt-out mechanism, we will endeavor to comply with those requirements.
Third-party services incorporated into our website may have their own tracking and privacy practices.
15. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or misuse.
However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use appropriate care when transmitting personal information online.
16. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our website, services, technology, legal requirements, or business practices.
When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
Material changes may also be communicated through the website or by other appropriate means.
