Cookies and similar technologies may be used to support:

• Essential website functionality

• Security and spam prevention

• Technical performance and troubleshooting

• Cookie preferences and consent management

• Other functions disclosed through the Website's cookie-consent system

Certain cookies may be necessary for the Website to operate properly.

Where required by applicable law, consent will be obtained before nonessential cookies or tracking technologies are activated.

Visitors may manage applicable cookie preferences through the Website's consent banner or available privacy settings.

Visitors may also restrict cookies through their browser settings, although doing so may interfere with certain website functions.

At the time of this policy's preparation, we have not intentionally connected Meta Pixel, Google Analytics, or similar advertising-tracking integrations to the Website.

If additional analytics or advertising technologies are implemented in the future, applicable privacy disclosures and consent settings will be reviewed and updated.

Cookie detection and classification depend in part on our service providers and the technologies enabled on the Website.

We use third-party service providers to operate and maintain the Website.

These include:

Wix: Provides website hosting, forms, content management, mailing-list functionality, and related website services.

We do not control every technical process or independent activity of third-party providers.

7. Third-Party Links and Purchases

The Website may provide links to Amazon and other third-party websites where visitors can purchase Starla Fizzlebell books or obtain additional information.

Purchases completed on Amazon are processed through Amazon's systems and are subject to Amazon's applicable privacy policies, purchasing terms, payment procedures, and fulfillment practices.

We do not directly collect or process credit card information from transactions completed entirely through Amazon.

The Website may also link to social media platforms or other independently operated services.

Once a visitor leaves our Website, the destination site's separate privacy policies and practices apply.

We encourage visitors to review third-party privacy policies before providing personal information.

We are not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third-party websites, except to the extent responsibility is imposed by applicable law.

• In connection with a lawful merger, acquisition, reorganization, or transfer of business assets, subject to applicable privacy obligations.

We do not intentionally sell personal information or share it with third-party advertisers for cross-context behavioral advertising through the Website as currently configured.

Certain privacy laws define "sale" or "sharing" more broadly than ordinary commercial usage. If our activities change in a way that triggers additional disclosure or opt-out obligations, we will address those requirements as applicable.

9. Children's Privacy and COPPA

Starla Fizzlebell creates and promotes children's books. However, this Website is intended as an informational and promotional resource for adults, including parents, grandparents, caregivers, educators, and gift purchasers.

The Website does not currently offer children's accounts, online games, public discussion forums, or interactive features designed for children to submit personal information.

Children should not submit personal information through the Website.

We do not intentionally use children's personal information for behavioral advertising.

Certain technical information, including IP addresses and device identifiers, may be processed automatically by website hosting or security services. Such processing is subject to applicable privacy requirements.

If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child under 13 in a manner not permitted by law, we will take appropriate steps to delete or otherwise address that information.

Parents or legal guardians who believe their child has submitted personal information may contact us to request review or deletion, as applicable.

Children's Privacy Contact:

We will comply with applicable requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), including any legally required parental notices, consent procedures, access rights, security safeguards, retention limitations, and deletion obligations.

10. Data Security

We use commercially available website hosting and communication services with security features designed to help protect information.

We take reasonable measures appropriate to the information we handle and the nature of our operations.

However, no internet transmission, website, electronic communication, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

We cannot guarantee absolute security or the prevention of every unauthorized access attempt, technical failure, or security incident.

Where required by applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to address security incidents and provide legally required notifications.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Retention considerations may include:

• The nature and purpose of the information.

• Whether an inquiry or communication remains relevant.

• The individual's subscription status and preferences.

• Applicable recordkeeping or legal requirements.

• Fraud prevention and security considerations.

• The need to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Contact-form submissions and related correspondence may be retained for legitimate business or recordkeeping purposes.

Mailing-list information may be retained while an individual remains subscribed. Limited suppression or unsubscribe records may be retained afterward as necessary to prevent unwanted marketing communications.

Information that is no longer reasonably necessary will be deleted, anonymized, or otherwise handled as appropriate and in accordance with applicable law.

Third-party providers may maintain their own retention practices for information processed through their systems.

Personal information may be processed or stored in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.

Where applicable international privacy laws govern our processing activities, we will comply with their requirements, including applicable legal bases, data-subject rights, and international transfer safeguards.

Individuals located in jurisdictions with additional privacy protections may contact us regarding rights available under applicable law.

Where legally provided, individuals may also have the right to lodge a complaint with an appropriate data protection authority.

14. External Services and Independent Privacy Practices

Third-party hosting, communication, security, consent-management, and retail services may maintain separate privacy policies governing their independent activities.

Visitors are encouraged to review those policies directly.

Use of a third-party service does not eliminate any legal obligations that may apply to the Company.

We reserve the right to modify, update, or replace this Privacy Policy when appropriate to reflect changes in our business, Website features, information practices, service providers, or applicable laws.

The current version will be made available on the Website, and the "Last Updated" date will be revised when changes are published.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, changes will become effective when published or on a later date specified in the updated policy.

Where applicable law requires additional notice, consent, or other procedures for material changes, those requirements will be followed.

Changes to this Privacy Policy do not automatically authorize materially different uses of previously collected personal information where additional consent or notice is legally required.
