Privacy Policy

Atfal Compass ("we", "us") runs atfalcompass.com, a website that helps parents discover books, courses, videos, events and learning tools for children. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little personal information as possible.

Who this website is for

Atfal Compass is designed for parents, carers and educators. Children may browse age-appropriate sections with a parent, but we do not ask children to create accounts or submit personal information.

Information we collect

Information you give us

• Contact form and email: your name, email address and the content of your message, so we can reply to you.

We do not currently offer user accounts, and we do not take payments on this website.

Information collected automatically

• Server logs: like most websites, our hosting provider records technical information such as IP address, browser type, pages requested and the time of the request. This is used to keep the site secure and working, and is kept for a limited period.
• Cookies and similar technologies: used by advertising partners as described below. We may also use privacy-friendly analytics to understand which pages are useful; if we do, this policy will be updated.

How we use information

• To reply to your messages and requests.
• To operate, secure and improve the website.
• To show advertising that helps keep Atfal Compass free (see below).
• To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

Advertising and cookies

We use Google AdSense to show ads on some pages. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and/or other sites on the internet.

• You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
• Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
• Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before advertising cookies are used, and can change their choice at any time.

Children's pages: pages intended for children are tagged so that Google treats ad requests as child-directed. On those pages, ads are not personalised and are not based on a user's interests or past behaviour. We also block sensitive ad categories across the site so that ads stay appropriate for families.

You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies will not stop you from using the website.

Children's privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us at info@atfalcompass.com and we will delete it.

Links to other websites

We link to books, courses, videos and stores run by other organisations, such as Amazon, Khan Academy, Code.org and YouTube. When you click a link to a store or course we may pass through a short redirect on our site, which does not record your personal information. Other websites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or practices. Some store links may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Sharing information

We share information only:

• with service providers who help us run the website (for example hosting and email), under confidentiality;
• with advertising partners as described above;
• when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users and others.

How long we keep information

We keep messages you send us only as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping, and then delete them. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to how it is used. To make a request, email info@atfalcompass.com.

Security

The website is served over HTTPS and we take reasonable steps to protect information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as Atfal Compass grows (for example when we add accounts or a newsletter). The "Last updated" date shows when it last changed.
