What we collect
Your email address, if you give it to us to hear about new stories. That is the only thing we ask you for directly.
When you buy something, Paddle collects and processes your payment and billing details. We never see or store your card number.
Why we collect it
To let you know when a new story or theme is ready, and to deliver what you bought. We don’t sell your details and we don’t share them with anyone beyond the services that make the site work.
Who processes data for us
- Paddle — payments, tax and refunds, as Merchant of Record.
- Our email provider — storing your address and sending you email.
- Vercel — hosting this site.
- Microsoft Clarity — how this page is used: which parts are read, where people stop scrolling, and anonymised recordings of the page being used. Text you type is masked and never recorded.
- Meta (Facebook) — measuring whether an advert brought you here. When you join the list, we also tell Meta that a signup happened, with your email address in scrambled (hashed) form, so Meta can measure the advert and show it to people likely to find it useful. Only runs where measurement is allowed for you, as described under Cookies.
Cookies
Nothing on this site needs a cookie to work — you can read every page, try the coloring page and join the list without one. The tools above set their own, to recognise a returning visit. If you would rather not have them, your browser can block third-party cookies, and the site will behave exactly the same. In the UK, the EU and Switzerland, neither tool loads unless you choose Accept on the cookie notice; to change your answer, clear this site’s data in your browser.
Your choices
Every email we send has an unsubscribe link. You can also email support@theplaykit.online and ask us to delete what we hold about you, and we will.
Children
The product is for children, but the buying is for grown-ups. This site is intended for adults, and we don’t knowingly collect anything from a child.
