Privacy Policy
A clear, plain-language look at what information Colorful Minds Media collects, why we collect it, and how you stay in control of it.
Last Updated: August 2026
1 Who We Are
Our website address is: https://colorfulmindsmedia.com. Colorful Minds Media creates social emotional learning picture books and free printables for kids ages 3-8, founded and operated by Krystine Boettcher.
2 Information We Collect
Email signup (free printables library): When you sign up to unlock our free printables, we collect your name and/or email address through our email service provider. This information is used to deliver free printables, send you updates about new resources and books, and occasional promotional emails. This information is not sold. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.
Contact form submissions: When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the message you send us. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
Purchases and checkout: When you purchase a book through our site, payment processing is handled by our checkout provider. We do not directly store your full credit card information on our own servers; this is handled securely by our payment processor in compliance with PCI-DSS standards.
Automatically collected data: Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited, primarily for analytics and security purposes (e.g. spam and fraud prevention).
3 Cookies
Our website uses cookies sparingly for the following purposes:
- Freebie unlock cookies: When you sign up for a free printable, a cookie is set on your device so you can access previously unlocked freebies without signing up again on future visits.
- Download limit cookies: When you download a free printable, a cookie is set on your device to limit the amount of downloads in a short time for site security and performance.
- Analytics cookies: We may use analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site, which helps us improve content and navigation.
- Essential cookies: Some cookies are required for basic site functionality, such as remembering your cookie consent preference.
You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect your ability to access unlocked freebies without re-entering your email.
4 Embedded Content
Our free printable pages and blog posts may include embedded content such as YouTube videos or social media embeds. Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited that website directly, meaning those sites may collect data, set cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content independently of our own site.
5 How Long We Retain Your Data
- Email subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
- Contact form submissions are retained for as long as needed to resolve your inquiry, and periodically deleted afterward.
- Purchase records are retained as required for tax, accounting, and legal compliance purposes.
6 Your Rights Over Your Data
You have the right to request a copy of any personal data we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate data, and request deletion of your personal data (except where we’re legally required to retain it, such as purchase records for tax purposes). To make any of these requests, contact us using the form on our Contact page.
7 Children’s Privacy
While our products are designed for children ages 3-8, our website itself is intended for use by parents, guardians, and educators, not for direct data collection from children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.
8 Changes To This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal compliance. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
