Children's Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Artisan Studio ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy and safety of children online. This Children's Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information from children under the age of 13 (or applicable age in your jurisdiction) when they visit our website or interact with our digital services.

This policy complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the GDPR-K (children's provisions under the EU General Data Protection Regulation), and other applicable privacy laws. It supplements our main Privacy Policy and should be read in conjunction with it.

2. Information We Collect

We do not intentionally collect, solicit, or maintain personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. In the rare cases where such information is collected, it may include:

• Non-personal data: Browser type, device information, pages visited, and time spent on site, collected automatically for analytics and site improvement.
• Optional submissions: If a child voluntarily submits information through interactive features, contests, or feedback forms, we may collect names, email addresses (parent/guardian provided), or artwork submissions.
• Third-party integrations: Information shared through authorized educational or creative platforms we partner with, subject to their own privacy practices.

3. How We Use Information

Any information collected from children is used solely for the following purposes:

• To deliver age-appropriate creative content, educational resources, or interactive design tools
• To facilitate communication with a parent or legal guardian
• To improve website functionality, usability, and safety features
• To comply with legal obligations and prevent fraudulent or harmful activity

We never sell, trade, or rent children's personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We do not create behavioral profiles or serve targeted advertising to children.

4. Parental Rights & Consent

Parents and guardians have the right to:

• Review personal information collected from their child
• Delete or remove such information at any time
• Refuse further collection or use of their child's information
• Revoke consent previously given, subject to contractual or legal limitations

To exercise these rights, please contact our Privacy Team using the information provided in Section 7 below. We will verify your identity and relationship to the child before processing your request, in accordance with applicable law.

5. Third-Party Links & Services

Our website may contain links to external educational platforms, creative tools, or partner sites that are not operated by Artisan Studio. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. If you access third-party services through our site, please review their individual privacy policies, especially those pertaining to children.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect children's information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encryption, access controls, regular security audits, and staff training on child data protection. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Children's Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. For ongoing services involving children's data, we will provide direct notice to parents/guardians via email or account notification where applicable.
