Children's Privacy Policy
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children who use https://www.bookswithaconscience.com and its services. This children's privacy policy is part of our approach to privacy and covers the way we collect, store and manage information provided by children under the age of 13.

Collecting information
Individuals should be 13 or over in order to purchase any of our goods and services on our website, however we do not ask for a date of birth when checking out so parents are responsible for being aware if their children are purchasing through our site. Children under 13 need to seek their parent or guardians permission before they purchase anything through our website.
We will not use children's contact details for marketing purposes, though we may use them for our internal marketing and research in order to improve the quality of products and services offered across our site.
Parental consent
If an activity does require any personal information (such as first name, last name, or email address), we will provide notice and seek consent from a parent or guardian prior to collecting the information. We only retain collected information for as long as necessary to enable participation in the requested activity. In the the event we discover we have collected personal information from an individual under 13 without parental consent we will either delete the information or seek parental consent.
As a parent/guardian, if you believe your child is participating in an activity that collects personal information, and you have not received a notification or request for consent, please feel free to email us at info@bookswithaconscience.com. We do not use parent contact details for marketing purposes unless marketing material are explicitly requested.
