Privacy Policy

Scope and audience

This policy applies to purejoybooks.com and information submitted through the website. Pure Joy Books creates products for families, but this website, its newsletter, and its purchasing and inquiry features are intended for adults, including parents, caregivers, educators, librarians, and other adult purchasers.

Links may take you to services operated by other companies. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

Information we collect

Information you provide

• Newsletter information: your email address, consent, and subscription activity when you join the Pure Joy Books mailing list.
• Inquiries: information you choose to provide when asking about bulk orders, products, programs, or other matters.
• Correspondence: the contents of communications you send to us.

Information collected automatically

Our website and service providers may automatically receive limited technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, referring page, pages requested, approximate location derived from IP address, timestamps, and security or error logs. This information supports delivery, security, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting.

Purchases through Amazon

Book purchases are completed on Amazon. Pure Joy Books does not directly receive or process the payment-card, Amazon account, shipping, or transaction information you provide to Amazon. Amazon handles that information under its own terms and privacy policy.

How we use information

We use personal information to:

• send newsletters, new-release notes, coloring inspiration, and occasional offers when you have consented;
• respond to inquiries and discuss potential bulk orders;
• operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website;
• detect spam, fraud, abuse, and technical problems;
• maintain records of consent, unsubscribes, and requests; and
• comply with legal obligations and protect our rights and the rights of others.

How we share information

We do not sell or rent personal information. We may disclose limited information to providers that help us operate the website and communications, including:

• MailerLite, which hosts our subscription form and helps us manage and send email;
• Google reCAPTCHA, which helps protect the form from spam and automated abuse;
• website hosting, infrastructure, and security providers, which deliver and protect the site; and
• professional advisers or authorities, when reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce agreements, or protect rights and safety.

If the business is reorganized, sold, or transferred, information may be disclosed as part of that transaction subject to appropriate protections.

Cookies and similar tools

MailerLite's embedded form, Google reCAPTCHA, and our hosting providers may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies that are necessary for form operation, security, and fraud prevention. Pure Joy Books does not currently use advertising cookies or cross-site behavioral advertising on this website.

If we later add analytics, advertising, or other optional tracking, we will update this policy and provide any consent controls required by applicable law.

International visitors

Pure Joy Books is based in New Jersey, United States. If you visit from another country, your information may be processed in the United States and in other places where our service providers operate.

Where the laws of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction apply, our legal bases may include your consent, steps taken at your request, our legitimate interests in operating and securing the website and responding to inquiries, and compliance with legal obligations. International transfers may rely on recognized safeguards provided by our service providers.

How long we keep information

Newsletter information is generally retained while you remain subscribed. After you unsubscribe, we may keep limited suppression and consent records so we can honor your request and meet legal obligations. Inquiry records are kept for as long as reasonably needed to respond, manage a potential business relationship, resolve disputes, and maintain appropriate records. Technical logs are retained according to operational and provider requirements.

Your choices and rights

You may unsubscribe from marketing email at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any newsletter. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent, and to appeal or complain to a privacy regulator.

To make a privacy request, write to us at the mailing address below. We may need enough information to verify your identity and locate the relevant records. Some information may be retained where permitted or required by law.

Children's privacy

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information. No website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our practices, services, or legal obligations change. The effective date at the top of the page shows when the current version took effect. Material changes will be communicated as required by applicable law.
