Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

The Website is operated by DK & K SERVICES LIMITED, registered in England under company number 10198193, with registered office at 490 Whitton Avenue West, London, UB6 0EG. For privacy enquiries, contact buddyscolouringbooks@gmail.com.

2. Our role and external retailer links

The Website showcases Buddy's Colouring Books and provides links to external retailer product pages. Each book may display two buttons: “Buy on Amazon” and “Buy on Lulu”. When you click either button, you leave our Website and visit the relevant retailer. You complete any purchase directly with that retailer or the seller identified at its checkout.

We do not operate the Amazon or Lulu checkout, collect your payment for those purchases, or receive the order information submitted directly to those retailers merely because you clicked a link. Amazon's or Lulu's privacy notice applies to information you provide to them or that they collect when you browse or purchase on their platforms.

3. Information we may collect

Depending on the features you use, we may collect:

• Contact details you choose to send us, such as your name and email address when you use a contact form or email us.
• Newsletter subscription details and marketing preferences, if you choose to subscribe.
• Technical and usage data, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referral source and interactions with the Website.
• Cookie and similar technology information, depending on your cookie choices and the technologies enabled on the Website.

4. How we use information and lawful bases

We may use information to respond to enquiries, send newsletters where permitted, operate and secure the Website, understand how visitors use it, improve our content and comply with legal obligations. Our lawful bases may include consent, legitimate interests and compliance with legal obligations. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

5. Marketing

If you sign up to receive news about Buddy's books, stories and launches, we will use your email address for that purpose in accordance with the consent or other lawful basis obtained. You can unsubscribe using the link in a marketing email or by contacting buddyscolouringbooks@gmail.com. Visiting the Website or clicking an Amazon or Lulu link does not by itself subscribe you to our marketing.

6. Cookies and analytics

The Website may use essential cookies or similar storage to operate securely, including for staff sign-in. This website does not currently use advertising or analytics cookies. If we add analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookies, we will request your consent where required before enabling them and update this policy to reflect the technologies used.

7. Sharing information

We may share information with service providers who help us host, secure and operate the Website, process contact forms, send emails or provide analytics. We do not send customer order details to Amazon or Lulu because orders are placed directly on their platforms. When you follow a retailer link, that retailer may collect information under its own privacy notice.

8. International transfers and retention

Some Website service providers may process information outside the UK. Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards under UK data protection law. We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy and applicable legal requirements.

9. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict the use of your personal information, object to certain processing, request data portability and withdraw consent. Contact buddyscolouringbooks@gmail.com. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at https://ico.org.uk/.

10. Children's privacy

Our books are designed for children, but the Website is intended for adults, parents and guardians. We do not knowingly ask children to submit personal information directly.

11. Third-party websites

Amazon, Lulu and other external websites have their own privacy policies, terms and practices. We do not control how those websites collect or use information. Please read the relevant retailer's privacy information before providing personal information or placing an order.

12. Changes and contact

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version and effective date will be shown on this page. Contact: buddyscolouringbooks@gmail.com.
