Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2, 2026

VividMindsPress ("we," "us," or "our") operates the VividMindsPress storytime platform at vividmindspress.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our website and reading application.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and optional profile photo. If you complete onboarding, we may collect optional information such as your child's age range to help personalize your experience.

Reading Activity

We store reading progress (such as the last page read in a book), franchise subscriptions, ratings, and read lists associated with your account so you can resume storytime where you left off.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and record your consent to receive marketing communications.

Automatically Collected Information

We may collect standard technical data such as browser type, device type, IP address, and pages visited through analytics tools when you have consented to cookies.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

Provide and improve the storytime reading experience
Save your reading progress and preferences across devices
Process subscriptions and payments through our payment provider
Send transactional emails (account verification, password reset)
Send newsletter updates when you have opted in
Respond to contact form inquiries
Analyze site usage to improve our product (with consent where required)

Children's Privacy

VividMindsPress is designed for parents and caregivers to read with their children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Account creation, billing, and data management are intended for adults.

If you believe a child has provided us personal information without parental consent, please contact us at support@vividmindspress.com and we will take steps to delete it.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help us operate the platform, including:

Hosting and infrastructure (e.g., Vercel)
Database services (e.g., Supabase/PostgreSQL)
Content delivery (e.g., Cloudflare R2)
Email delivery (e.g., Resend)
Payment processing (e.g., LemonSqueezy)

These providers process data on our behalf under contractual obligations to protect it.

Data Retention

We retain account and reading data while your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time through account settings or by contacting support.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you
Correct inaccurate data
Request deletion of your data
Withdraw consent for marketing emails
Object to certain processing activities

To exercise these rights, contact support@vividmindspress.com.

Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, preferences, and—when you consent—analytics to understand how visitors use our site. You can manage cookie preferences through the consent banner on our website.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

International Users

If you access VividMindsPress from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
