4. Children’s Privacy
Our website and online store are intended for adults, parents, guardians, school staff, and other authorized purchasers. They are not directed to children under 13, and children under 13 should not create accounts, place orders, or submit personal information directly through the website.
Parents, guardians, and authorized adults may provide a child’s name or grade when reasonably necessary to personalize, prepare, identify, or deliver a school-related product.
If you believe a child under 13 submitted information directly to us without parental or guardian authorization, please contact us so that we can review and, when appropriate, delete it.
COPPA applies to websites directed to children under 13 and to general-audience services that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information directly from a child under 13.

We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep the online store and shopping cart working
- Remember cart contents and session information
- Maintain website security
- Remember cookie preferences

This may include the purchaser’s name, student name, order number, grade, program, or other information reasonably needed to identify the order.
7. Analytics, Advertising, and Social Media
The website may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use the website and improve its performance.
The website may also contain links to Facebook, Instagram, Google Maps, Google Reviews, YouTube, or other third-party platforms. Visiting or interacting with those services may allow the third party to collect information under its own privacy policy.
[If Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Google Ads, or another tracking tool is installed, identify it here before launch.]
Non-essential analytics or advertising technologies should be controlled through the website’s cookie preference tool where required.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
A recommended retention schedule for this store is:

Where required by applicable law and supported by our website technology, we will process recognized Global Privacy Control signals as requests to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.
