3. Cookies and analytics

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site working, remember your preferences, measure traffic and, where you allow it, support advertising.

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics collects information such as pages viewed, time on page and approximate location. You can learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies, through the cookie notice shown on the Site. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but parts of the Site may not work as intended.

4. Advertising

[REPLACE THIS SECTION WITH THE WORDING MEDIAVINE PROVIDES, ONCE YOU HAVE IT. The text below is a placeholder.]

The Site may display advertising served by Mediavine and its advertising partners. These partners may use cookies, advertising identifiers and similar technologies to show ads, to measure how ads perform and, where permitted, to show ads based on your interests. The information they collect can include your IP address, browser and device information, and pages you visit on this and other websites.

Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before ads that use this information are shown, and you can change your choice at any time through the cookie notice on the Site. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance (US) or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EU).

5. Third-party services we use

The Site uses the following services, which may receive information about your visit. Each has its own privacy policy.

  • WordPress, the software that runs the Site, and our hosting provider, which stores the Site and its data.
  • Google Analytics, for traffic analytics.
  • Tidio, for live chat.
  • An Instagram feed, which displays posts from Instagram. When the feed loads, Instagram (Meta) may receive your IP address and browser information and may set its own cookies.
  • An email delivery service, which sends emails generated by the Site such as comment notifications.

The Site also links to other websites, including getepic.com. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites, and we encourage you to read their policies.

6. How we share your information

We share personal information with the service providers listed above so they can provide their services to us, when the law requires it, to protect the rights, safety or security of the Site, its visitors or others, and with your consent. We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money.

Some US state laws treat the use of advertising cookies, as described in Section 4, as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising. See Section 8 for how to opt out.

7. Children’s privacy

The Site is written for parents, caregivers and teachers. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us at kidireadingofficial@gmail.com and we will delete it.

  • access the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it;
  • receive a copy of your information in a portable format;
  • object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent you have given;
  • opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising, including through browser signals such as Global Privacy Control where the law requires us to honor them;
  • not be treated unfairly for using these rights.

To use any of these rights, email us at kidireadingofficial@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority. Where we rely on consent, such as for non-essential cookies, you can withdraw it at any time through the cookie notice on the Site.

If you are in the EEA or the UK, we process your information based on your consent (cookies), our legitimate interests (running and securing the Site, understanding how it is used) and, where applicable, legal obligations.

10. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, such as keeping the Site’s software updated and limiting access to the Site’s administration. No website or method of transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. International transfers

The Site is operated from China and hosted on servers in the United States. If you visit from another country, your information may be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States, China and other countries where our service providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your country.
