1. Overview
Smiles Create is a children’s creativity website operated by Steven Zaney. This policy explains what personal information may be collected through the website, why it may be used and the choices available to visitors.
We aim to collect as little personal information as reasonably possible. Newsletter subscriptions and adult contact enquiries submitted through the website are processed through Sender.net.
2. Information we may collect
We may collect information that an adult chooses to provide, such as:
- an adult’s email address and consent choices submitted through a newsletter form;
- a name, email address, enquiry topic and message submitted through the contact form;
- basic technical information needed to keep the website and forms secure and working, such as browser type, approximate device information and server logs.
We do not ask children to provide personal information, create accounts or submit messages.
3. Children’s privacy
The website is designed to be enjoyed by children with the involvement of a parent, carer, teacher or other responsible adult. Contact and newsletter forms are intended for adults only.
Please do not send a child’s full name, contact details, school, precise location, photographs or other identifying information. If we learn that personal information has been submitted directly by a child without appropriate adult involvement, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
4. How information may be used
Information may be used to:
- reply to enquiries;
- send updates that an adult has requested;
- deliver downloads or other requested resources;
- maintain, secure and improve the website;
- meet legal obligations and prevent misuse.
We will not sell personal information.
6. Cookies and analytics
The current website does not intentionally set non-essential advertising or analytics cookies. If this changes, visitors will be given appropriate information and choices. See the Cookies Policy for more detail.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, including asking for access, correction, deletion, restriction or a copy, and objecting to certain uses. You may also withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing.
You can raise a concern with the relevant data-protection authority. In the United Kingdom, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office.
