Privacy Policy

The short version, for everyone

We don't collect information about you. No accounts, no cookies, no analytics, no ads, no forms. You can read every page of this site without telling us — or anyone else — who you are.

Two things are saved on your own device and stay there: the articles you tick as found, and how far you have got in the arcade games. Nobody else sees either one, not even us.

That is a deliberate choice, because this site is made for children.

One page here, written for grown-ups, has a single link that leaves this site: the one for sending us a contribution. Reading never does that — only choosing to pay does, and "If you choose to support us" below says exactly what happens if you do.

The full version, for adults

What we collect: nothing

BrightKidz Library has no visitor accounts, no sign-up, no newsletter, no comment system, and no contact forms. The site contains no analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixels, and no social-media buttons. Pages set no cookies. Two things are kept on your own device, and both are written to your browser's own storage on this site:

• Which articles you have ticked as found, and whether you have the hide-found switch on. Stored as bk.found.v1 and bk.hidefound.v1.
• How far you have got in each arcade game. Every game keeps its own progress under its own name, so they never read one another's:
• bk.arcade.v1 — The Long Way Round
• bk.arcade.letitroll.v1 — Let It Roll
• bk.arcade.packitin.v1 — Pack It In
• bk.arcade.workshop.v1 — The Workshop
• bk.arcade.slowwater.v1 — Slow Water

Four of them hold the same handful of things: which world and stage you reached, your stars, your streak, which look you chose, and one number the game uses to judge how hard to make the next puzzle. Two of them — Let It Roll and Slow Water — also remember what you built, so the machine you set out or the reef you grew is still there when you come back. Slow Water has nothing to win, so it keeps only your chosen look and what you made.

It is game progress and nothing else. There is no name, no age, no free text and no identifier of any kind in any of them.

Both features also write a tiny throwaway marker — bk.write-probe for the found ticks and bk.arcade.write-probe for The Long Way Round — and delete it again in the same instant. The other four games test the same thing by writing to their own name above and putting back exactly what was there. Its only job is to find out whether your browser permits storage at all, so that a browser set to block it gets told rather than silently losing things. Neither marker survives the moment it is made.

Neither is an account and neither ever reaches us or anyone else. Both stay on that one device, so the same child on a different computer starts again. To erase them, clear this site's data in your browser (commonly Settings → Privacy → clear browsing data, or by tapping the padlock beside the address and choosing to clear site data). Nothing is kept anywhere else, so there is nothing else to delete and nobody to ask. We load no fonts, images, or scripts from anyone else's servers, so reading a page here does not quietly announce your visit to a third party.

Interactive activities — quizzes, sliders, puzzles, games — run entirely on your own device, and your answers are never sent anywhere. Most of them keep nothing at all: close the page and it is gone. The arcade games are the deliberate exception, because a child is meant to be able to stop and come back to them, so each remembers where they got to — on that device, as described above.

We hold ourselves to this technically, not just in writing. Our publishing system refuses to build a page that loads anything from another company's servers, that contains a form, or that references a remote image or font. A page that breaks the rule does not get published — the build stops. That is why this policy cannot quietly become untrue while nobody is looking.

What our web host processes

Like every website, our pages have to be delivered by a hosting provider — ours is Google's Firebase Hosting. To deliver a page and protect the site from abuse, that hosting infrastructure briefly processes standard technical information about each request, such as the visitor's IP address, in its server logs. This is the ordinary, unavoidable mechanics of serving a web page over the internet.

We do not use that information to identify, profile, or track anyone, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not share it for any such purpose. Google's own privacy documentation describes how its infrastructure handles this.

If you choose to support us

There is one page on this site, Support this site, written for adults, with one link that leaves BrightKidz Library. Nothing sends you there — you have to choose it, and no page a child reads links to it.

Following it hands you to Stripe, our payment processor, on Stripe's own website. From that point you are on their page and their privacy policy applies, not ours. Stripe collects what a card payment needs: the card details, and an email address to send your receipt to. We never see the card details. We see that a payment arrived, the amount, and the email address Stripe shows us, so that we can answer you if something goes wrong or refund you if you ask.

Nothing about this comes back to the site. No page on BrightKidz Library knows whether you paid, and none of them behaves differently if you did. There is nothing to unlock, so there is nothing to remember and nothing to check.

We keep the payment page off our own site on purpose. It is the only way to take a card without loading somebody else's code onto a page a child might be reading — so the promise above holds unchanged: this site still loads nothing from anyone else's servers, and the link only does anything when an adult decides to follow it.

One point of precision about what we said further up. Our publishing system refuses to build a page that loads anything from another company's servers, and that is still exactly true — but we would rather spell out how it fits this link than let you find the seam yourself and wonder what else was phrased carefully. The link loads nothing: it points at an address on our own site, and our web host is what forwards it to Stripe. The publishing system checks pages, not our host's settings, so this policy no longer leans on that check alone for this one route. It is checked separately, at the same moment the site is built, against a list holding exactly one company.

Children's privacy

This site is made for children aged 7–12.

United States law — the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, COPPA — places strict duties on child-directed websites that collect personal information from children: notices, verifiable parental consent, access and deletion rights, retention limits. Those duties attach to sites that collect. We have taken a different route: we don't collect personal information at all, from children or from anyone else. There is nothing to consent to, nothing to request access to, and nothing to delete, because nothing was ever taken.

We want to be precise rather than reassuring here. This page is not a legal compliance certificate, and it is not the formal notice a data-collecting children's site is required to publish — publishing one of those would wrongly imply that we collect something. It is a plain description of what this site does, offered so that a parent, a teacher, or a school can check us rather than trust us.

If we ever wanted to change this — to add analytics, for example — we would treat it as a serious decision needing legal review first, and we would update this policy before anything on the site changed.

If you email us

Our contact address is there for parents, teachers, and schools. If you email us, we use your address only to reply to you. We do not add correspondents to any list, we do not share addresses with anyone, and we do not keep messages longer than it takes to deal with them.

If a child emails us, we will reply if a reply is needed and then delete the message. We ask children to have a parent or guardian write to us instead.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with a new effective date. Because we collect nothing, we have no way to notify visitors directly — and no mailing list to notify them with. Checking this page is the reliable record.
