What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

We collect information about you through the following means and for the following purposes:

Analytics

We deploy Google Analytics to map visitor navigation paths and measure download volumes. We collect anonymized data, including your browser architecture, device category, geographical region, and specific file interactions. We analyze this data to optimize our platform architecture and expand our printable collections. Our strict legal basis for this processing is your explicit consent.

Cookies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure the proper functioning of the site, to analyze our traffic, and to prepare for future personalized content and advertising. A “cookie” is a small text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.

Some cookies are “strictly necessary” for the website to function and cannot be switched off. All other cookies, such as those for analytics or marketing, are blocked by default until you provide your active consent.

We provide full transparency into the specific cookies we use and give you granular control over your preferences through our Cookie Consent banner and our detailed Cookie Policy. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time.

For a detailed, up-to-date list of the cookies we use, their purpose, and their duration, please review our Cookie Policy.

Advertising

We use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to serve ads when you visit our website. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your browsing history. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google My Ad Center. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting Your Online Choices.

Communication Data

When you submit a message through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We process this data strictly to respond to your inquiries, report technical errors, or discuss commercial partnerships. We do not use this information for marketing purposes without explicit consent.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data under several legal bases according to the GDPR:

  • Consent: For all non-essential cookies (Analytics, Marketing) and for marketing communications, we rely on your active and explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
  • Legitimate Interest: We process some data for our legitimate interests, for example, to ensure the security of our website and to analyze its performance to make improvements. We always balance our interests against your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal data. We only share data with third-party service providers who help us operate our website. These include:

  • Analytics Providers: Google LLC (for Google Analytics), for the purpose of processing website traffic data.
  • Advertising Providers: Google AdSense, for the purpose of serving ad placements.

How Long We Retain Your Data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

  • Database Archives: We maintain automated, encrypted server backups to secure our digital architecture. If your personal communication data resides in our active database during a backup cycle, the system copies it into a secure archive file. We systematically overwrite or destroy these backup files according to our standard administrative retention schedule.

Children’s Privacy

Our downloadable educational resources and creative activities are designed for children to use under the supervision of parents or educators. However, this website does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 16.
