Privacy Policy

Scribbles by Marcy ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website scribblesbymarcy.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site, purchase our products, or use our services.

We are committed to protecting the privacy of all our visitors, with special attention to the privacy of children. Our Site sells children's books and educational materials, and we take our responsibility to protect children's privacy seriously.

Our Site is designed for parents, educators, and caregivers who purchase children's books and educational materials. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age.

The Scribbles Club membership, account creation, and purchasing features are intended for adults (parents/guardians). If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will delete that information promptly.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected] so we can take appropriate action.

Information you provide directly:

• Name and email address (when creating an account or placing an order)
• Shipping address (when placing an order)
• Payment information (processed securely through Stripe — we do not store card numbers)
• Contact form messages
• Notification preferences

Information collected automatically:

• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time spent on pages
• Device type and operating system
• IP address (anonymized for analytics)
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see our Cookie Policy)

We use the information we collect to:

• Process and fulfill your orders
• Send order confirmations, shipping updates, and delivery notifications
• Manage your Scribbles Club membership
• Send order updates and promotional content (only with your consent)
• Respond to your inquiries and customer service requests
• Improve our website, products, and services
• Prevent fraud and ensure the security of our Site
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share your information with:

• Payment processors: Stripe processes payments securely on our behalf
• Shipping providers: To deliver your orders
• Email service providers: To send transactional and marketing emails
• Analytics providers: To understand how our Site is used (data is anonymized)
• Legal authorities: When required by law or to protect our rights

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. All payment transactions are encrypted using SSL technology and processed through Stripe's PCI-compliant infrastructure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Opt out of marketing communications
• Withdraw consent for data processing
• Request data portability

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected].

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete your information, and the right to opt out of the sale of your information. We do not sell personal information.

With your permission, we may send browser push notifications about new book releases, order updates, and Scribbles Club content. You can manage your notification preferences in your account settings or disable push notifications through your browser settings at any time.

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., Amazon for book purchases, social media platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
