This policy governs playschooled.com. Playschooled’s subject is Playschooled; this page is about the information involved in publishing it and reading it.

Children Under 13

Our audience is adult. We do not target children under 13 — under 16 in jurisdictions that set the higher bar — and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If such data is identified, it is removed.

Shared With

Running a site of this kind involves outside providers. Hosting and content delivery, analytics (we may use a provider such as Google Analytics), an email platform if you subscribe, and any advertising network we work with. Where these act on their own account rather than ours — as independent controllers rather than processors acting on our instruction — their own privacy policies apply alongside this one.

Choices Available to You

Subject to your location, you may request access to your data, its correction or deletion, a portable copy, or restriction of its use, and you may opt out of sale or sharing for advertising. These entitlements flow from the UK/EU GDPR and from US state law including the CCPA/CPRA. Global Privacy Control signals are respected automatically. See our State Privacy Notice and Do Not Sell or Share.

How Long We Keep It

Nothing is kept longer than it is needed for. Analytics data ages out on the provider’s schedule, subscriber addresses last until you unsubscribe, comments stay until removed. Access is limited, connections are encrypted in transit, and while no site can promise perfect security, we take reasonable and proportionate measures.

Email Preferences

Subscribing takes two steps: you submit an address, then confirm it from that address. All email includes an unsubscribe link and a postal address as required, and the list is never sold, rented, or shared for others’ marketing.

Our Use of Your Data

We process this information to maintain and secure the site, to analyse readership in aggregate, to send opted-in email, and to support advertising if and where it runs.

What Comes In

Some information arrives without you doing anything: standard web-server and analytics records covering IP address, device, browser, rough location and pages viewed. Other information arrives because you sent it — newsletter signups, comment fields, and email correspondence.

Specific to Playschooled: we ask readers not to send us sensitive personal details, and we delete rather than retain anything of that kind that reaches us unprompted.

Tracking and Storage

• Cookies and similar browser storage are covered separately, in detail, in our Cookie Policy.

• Where advertising is served, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.
