Privacy Policy

Monika Laame — monikalaame.com | Effective Date: June 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Monika Laame ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information from visitors to monikalaame.com (the "Site"). We do not sell any products directly on the Site. The Site is used to share information about our books, provide free downloadable resources for parents and educators, and allow visitors to sign up for our newsletter. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you fill out a form on the Site, including:

● Email address, submitted when you request a free activity pack or sign up for our newsletter.

● Any name or other information you choose to include in a form field.

We do not collect payment information, and we do not process purchases on the Site. Books are sold through third party retailers such as Amazon, which have their own privacy policies.

We may also automatically collect limited technical information through our website platform (Wix), such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and general usage data (e.g., pages viewed), typically through cookies and similar technologies. See Section 4 below.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected through our lead forms only for the purpose for which it was provided:

● Activity Pack requests: to email you the free activity pack or printable resource you requested.

● Newsletter sign-ups: to send you book news, special offers, free resources, and storytime ideas.

If you sign up for the activity pack, you may also be added to our newsletter mailing list unless you opt out. You may unsubscribe from newsletter emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included in each email, or by contacting us directly.

We do not use your information for automated decision-making, and we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

● Service providers who help us operate the Site and send emails (for example, our website host, Wix.com, and any email or newsletter delivery service we use), who are only permitted to use your information to provide services to us.

● Legal authorities, if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests.

We do not share your email address or form submissions with other third parties for their own marketing.

4. Cookies and Website Hosting

The Site is built and hosted on Wix.com. Wix may place cookies and use similar tracking technologies to operate the Site, remember visitor preferences, and gather basic analytics about how the Site is used. These cookies are governed by Wix's own privacy and cookie practices in addition to this policy. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; note that blocking cookies may affect how parts of the Site function.

5. Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to third-party sites and services we do not control, including Amazon (where our books are sold) and our social media profiles (Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

6. Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for parents, educators, and other adults, even though our books are written for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through our forms, and our lead forms are intended to be completed by a parent, guardian, or educator. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information without appropriate consent, please contact us using the information below so we can delete it.

7. Data Retention

We retain the email addresses and information you submit for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected (for example, sending your activity pack or continuing to send newsletter emails), or until you ask us to delete it or unsubscribe.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, which may include the right to:

● Request access to the personal information we hold about you.

● Request correction or deletion of your personal information.

● Withdraw consent or opt out of marketing emails at any time.

● Request a copy of your information in a portable format.

Residents of the European Economic Area/UK (under GDPR) and California (under the CCPA/CPRA) may have additional specific rights under those laws. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information in Section 10. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable measures, including relying on the security features of our website platform (Wix), to protect the information you provide. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
