Privacy Policy

Zoriana Story Club ("we", "us", "our") operates zorianastoryclub.com. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit, how we use it, and the choices you have. If you have any questions, contact us at hello@zorianastoryclub.com.

Who this site is for

This site is intended for use by parents, grandparents, and other adults on behalf of children — not for direct use by children themselves. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information without a parent or guardian's consent, please contact us and we will delete it.

Information you provide to us

When you sign up for a free printable or join our email list, we collect:

• Your email address (required)
• Your first name (optional)

We use this only to deliver the specific freebie you requested and to send occasional updates about new books, activities, and printables. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we automatically collect some information when you visit — the pages you view, links you click, approximate location (from IP address), device and browser type, and how you arrived at the site (e.g. from Amazon, Etsy, Pinterest, or a search engine). We use this in aggregate to understand which stories and printables are helpful and to improve the site.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar browser storage (such as localStorage) for essential site functionality and for the analytics tools described below. These do not include advertising cookies, and we do not sell your data or use it for third-party advertising.

Third-party services we use

We share limited data with the following services, each governed by its own privacy policy:

• MailerLite — manages our email list and delivers freebies and updates you sign up for.
• Google Analytics (if enabled) — aggregate, anonymized site usage statistics (pages viewed, general location, device type).
• Mixpanel — product analytics used to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, button clicks such as "Buy on Amazon" or "Shop on Etsy", and freebie signups/downloads).
• Sanity — the content management system that stores the site's content and, indirectly, freebie signup records where applicable.
• Amazon and Etsy — when you click through to buy a book or activity pack, you leave this site and any purchase is handled entirely by Amazon or Etsy under their own privacy policies. We do not receive your payment or order information.

How long we keep your information

We keep your email and signup information for as long as you remain subscribed, or until you ask us to delete it. Analytics data is retained by our analytics providers according to their own retention settings, which we configure to be no longer than reasonably necessary.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information
• Unsubscribe from emails at any time (link included in every email)
• Opt out of non-essential analytics tracking using your browser's settings

To exercise any of these, email us at hello@zorianastoryclub.com and we'll respond as promptly as we can.

International visitors

We welcome visitors from anywhere, including the EU/UK and elsewhere. If you are located outside the United States, your information may be processed by us and our service providers (listed above) in the United States or other countries.

Data security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll update the "last updated" date below when we do. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.

This policy is a thorough draft reflecting our actual data practices, prepared with the help of an AI assistant — it is not a substitute for review by a qualified attorney, and should be reviewed before you rely on it, particularly given laws that specifically protect children's privacy.
