Welcome to Kids Learning Essentials! We are passionate about expanding the toolkits used by teachers and parents to create customized learning environments for children. This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our website and downloadable materials.

We take the privacy of our youngest learners and their families very seriously. Our policy is written to be clear and easy to understand.

1. Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy

Kids Learning Essentials is committed to protecting the privacy of children. Our website and materials are designed for parents and educators to use with children. We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other applicable privacy laws. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without obtaining verifiable parental consent.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways to provide and improve our services:

  • Information You Provide to Us: We collect information from parents and educators when they:
    • Purchase Products: When you purchase one of our digital products, such as a story workbook, we collect information necessary to process your order. This may include your name, email address, billing information, and payment details. Please note that we utilize secure third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, Shopify Payments) to handle transactions. We do not store your full credit card information on our servers.
      • Download Free Materials: When you sign up to receive free downloadable materials, we will collect your email address in order to send you the files.
      • Contact Us: If you contact us with a question or for support, we will collect your name, email address, and the content of your message so that we can respond to your inquiry.
  • Information We Do Not Collect from Children: We do not require children to provide any personal information to use our downloadable learning materials. Our workbooks and stories are designed to be used offline or as static digital documents. Our online presence is for parents and educators.
  • Anonymous Information Collected Automatically: When you visit our website, we may collect anonymous information, such as your IP address, browser type, and operating system. This information is used to improve our website and is not linked to any personal information. We do not use this information to track individuals.

3. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect from parents and educators is used for the following purposes:

  • To provide and deliver our educational products and services.
  • To communicate with you about your downloads, and to respond to your inquiries.
  • To improve our website and product offerings.

We do not sell or rent any personal information to third parties.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to help us show relevant ads to people who have previously visited our site. You can opt-out of this type of advertising through your Facebook ad settings and by managing your browser’s cookie settings.

4. Verifiable Parental Consent

Before collecting any personal information from a child under 13, we will obtain verifiable parental consent. As our current services are designed for parents and educators to download materials for children, we do not have features that would collect personal information directly from children. If we introduce any such features in the future, we will update this policy and provide a clear method for obtaining parental consent.

5. Parental Rights

We are committed to supporting parents’ rights to control their children’s information. As we do not currently collect personal information from children, these rights are straightforward. If this changes, parents will have the right to:

  • Review the personal information we have collected from their child.
  • Request that we delete the personal information we have collected from their child.
  • Refuse to permit the further collection or use of their child’s personal information.

Parents can exercise these rights by contacting us at info@kidslearningessentials.com. To protect your child’s privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your child’s information.

6. Data Security

We have implemented reasonable security measures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the information we collect. We take steps to ensure that any third-party service providers who may have access to our data also have strong security measures in place.

7. Data Retention

We will only retain personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.

8. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each website that collects personally identifiable information.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on our website. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
