Privacy Policy

 

1. Purpose of Data Collection

This website collects personal information solely for the following purposes:

• Responding to press inquiries, special requests, or voluntary communications.

• Receiving drawings submitted by parents or legal guardians on behalf of minors.

• Evaluating whether a submitted drawing may be published, in accordance with the consent provided.

2. Personal Information We May Collect

Through online forms or submission tools, the Site may request:

• Full name of the parent or legal guardian

• Email address

• Child’s first name

• Child’s age

• City or general location (only if required by the form)

• The drawing or artwork file submitted

No additional personal information is collected unless voluntarily provided.

3. Children’s Data

Children must not submit information directly through this Site.

All drawings or related information must be submitted exclusively by a parent or legal guardian, who confirms they have the legal authority to act on behalf of the minor and who consents to the processing described in this Policy.

This practice aligns with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and international child‑data standards.

4. Use and Publication of Drawings

Submitting a drawing does not guarantee publication.

If a drawing is selected for publication:

• Only the information expressly authorized by the parent or guardian will be used (typically the child’s first name, age, and city).

• The Site will avoid sharing any excessive, sensitive, or unnecessary personal data.

• The artwork may be displayed on the Site, social media, or related promotional materials, strictly within the scope of the consent provided.

5. Data Retention

Personal information and submitted drawings will be retained only for the period reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Afterward, data will be securely deleted or anonymized.

6. Your Rights

Parents, legal guardians, or individuals whose data has been collected may request:

• Access to their personal information

• Correction of inaccurate information

• Deletion of their data

• Withdrawal of previously granted consent

Requests may be submitted to the contact email provided on the Site.

Residents of California or regions with enhanced privacy rights may have additional protections under applicable laws.

7. Security Measures

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

However, no online transmission is completely secure, and absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

8. Third‑Party Services and Data Transfers

This Site may operate using third‑party technology providers, including:

• Wix (website hosting and platform services)

• Additional tools necessary for site functionality, analytics, or form submissions

Any processing or transfer of data through these providers will follow applicable privacy laws and the providers’ own privacy policies.

International visitors acknowledge that their data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in their home country.

9. Updates to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in the Site’s practices, legal requirements, or operational needs.

The “Last Updated” date will indicate the most recent revision.
