Bubbly Books (“we”, “us” and “our”) publishes children’s books and reading resources at bubblybooks.com. This policy explains how information is handled when you browse the site, contact us or follow a link to another service. Our privacy contact is the Bubbly Books website owner, based in Alberta, Canada, at charleebeebubblybooks@gmail.com.
Information we collect and why
If you email us, we receive your email address, any name you provide and the contents of your message. We use this information to answer your inquiry and keep relevant correspondence. Please avoid sending sensitive information or a child’s personal details unless necessary to explain your request.
Our contact forms ask for your name, email address and message, together with your consent to use those details to respond. Form submissions are processed through our WordPress website and email services so we can receive and answer your request. Hosting and security systems may also process technical details associated with the submission. Please avoid including sensitive information or children’s identifying details. You can contact us to withdraw consent, subject to any records we need to retain for legal purposes.
Our website and service providers process technical information needed to deliver and protect the site, such as IP addresses, browser and device information, requested pages, dates and times, and error or security logs. We use this information to operate the site, investigate problems and prevent misuse. Technical identifiers can be personal information even when they do not include your name.
Where a page allows comments, the information you submit may be stored in WordPress, along with technical details used for moderation and spam prevention. Your comment and chosen display name may become public. Do not include private information in a comment.
Analytics and Amazon-link clicks
We use Google Analytics through Site Kit by Google and Clicky to understand visits, popular pages, traffic sources, approximate locations, devices and interactions. These services may process page URLs, referring websites, timestamps, browser information and online identifiers. Their use of cookies and identifiers depends on the service’s configuration and your browser or consent choices. See how Google uses information from partner sites and Clicky’s privacy policy.
Google Analytics includes an event named amazon_book_click for outbound clicks to Amazon.ca and Amazon.com. It uses information about the clicked link and the page where the click occurred to help us understand interest in our books. This event does not tell us whether you completed an Amazon purchase or identify an Amazon customer account.
We use analytics to improve the website and its content. We do not ask you to enter your name, email address or payment details into an analytics tool.
Cookies and your choices
WordPress and related services may use cookies for site functions, login sessions, preferences and analytics. You can block or delete cookies in your browser and use any privacy controls displayed by the site. Blocking cookies may affect some functions. Google also provides an Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Blocking cookies does not necessarily stop every type of technical logging.
This policy explains our practices; simply visiting the website is not a substitute for consent where consent is required.
Amazon purchases and other external services
Our book purchase buttons take you to Amazon. Bubbly Books is the publisher of the featured books and may receive book royalties from sales; these links are not part of an Amazon Associates programme. Amazon handles purchases, payment details, delivery and customer accounts under its own policies. We do not collect your card details through these buttons.
Links to our Facebook group and other external websites take you to services with their own privacy practices. Information you share there is governed by those services. Visiting Bubbly Books does not require joining the group.
Service providers and information outside Canada
We use providers for hosting, website operation, email, analytics, security and backups. They may process information to provide those services. Google and Clicky are analytics providers; our WordPress website uses Hostinger hosting services. Information may be processed outside Canada, including in the United States and other countries where providers operate. It may be subject to the laws and lawful access requirements of those countries.
For written information about our use of service providers, their processing locations and purposes, contact the Bubbly Books website owner at charleebeebubblybooks@gmail.com. We may also disclose information when legally required or when necessary to protect the site and address misuse. We do not sell or rent your personal information.
Children and family use
Our books are for children, while the website’s book information and parent guides are intended to help parents, caregivers, educators and other adult readers. Children may view the site with an adult. Please do not submit a child’s full name, contact details, school, photograph or other identifying information in messages or public comments.
If you believe a child’s personal information has been submitted to us, contact us so we can investigate and remove it where appropriate. Browsing can still involve the technical and analytics processing described above; we do not claim that no information about child visitors is ever processed.
Retention and security
We keep information for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected, including responding to requests, maintaining the site, handling disputes and meeting legal obligations. Retention can differ for correspondence, analytics, logs and backups. Contact us about a specific record or deletion request. Removing information from an active system may not immediately remove it from backup copies.
The website uses HTTPS to encrypt information in transit. No website or transmission method is completely secure, and we cannot promise absolute protection.
Access, correction and privacy questions
You can write to charleebeebubblybooks@gmail.com to ask about information we hold about you, request access or correction, ask about deletion, or withdraw consent where applicable. We may need to verify your identity. Some records may need to be retained, and legal exceptions may apply. We will explain relevant limits when responding.
Please contact us first if you have a concern. You can also seek information or make a complaint through the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page when our practices change and revise the date above. Where additional notice or consent is required, updating this page alone does not replace it.
