Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how PrintableBazaar ("the Site", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit printablebazaar.com.
PrintableBazaar operates as a free digital repository for educational materials. We do not operate a shopping cart, and we do not require user accounts to download our primary resources.
1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information to ensure the functionality and security of the Site:
- Usage Data: We automatically collect basic information about how you interact with the Site, including your IP address, browser type, and device information, using standard analytics tools and cookies.
- Voluntary Donations: If you choose to support the Site via our voluntary "tip jar," your payment is processed securely by our third-party payment processor (Stripe). We do not collect, process, or store your credit card numbers or bank details on our servers. We only receive confirmation of the donation and the email address you provide to Stripe for receipt purposes.
- Communication: If you contact us for support, we collect your email address and the contents of your message.
2. Children's Privacy and COPPA Compliance
PrintableBazaar is designed for and directed at adults—specifically teachers, parents, and educators—who are seeking resources for their students or children.
However, we recognize that our content (e.g., coloring pages, kindergarten worksheets) appeals to a mixed audience. In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA):
- We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
- We do not deploy personalized tracking cookies or interest-based advertising on pages categorized as child-directed. Any advertising served on these specific pages is contextual only.
- If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately to have it removed.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use standard cookies to improve Site performance and analyze traffic. By using the Site, you consent to the use of functional and analytical cookies. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.
4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may disclose your information only to:
- Service providers who assist us in operating our Site (e.g., hosting services, Stripe for donation processing).
- Comply with legal obligations, enforce our Terms of Service, or protect the rights and safety of our users.
5. Third-Party Links
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those external sites.
