Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Teddy Talks may collect, how we use it, and the choices available to families, caregivers, educators, and visitors.
1. Information We Collect
Teddy Talks does not require visitors to create an account to browse the website or download free activities. We may collect information you choose to send us, such as your name, email address, message, child question, audio submission, or other details included when you contact us.
Basic technical information may also be collected automatically by hosting providers, analytics tools, browsers, or embedded third-party services. This may include device type, browser type, pages visited, referring pages, approximate location derived from IP address, and similar usage information.
2. Children's Privacy
Teddy Talks is created for children and the adults who care for them, but we ask that parents, guardians, caregivers, or educators handle online contact with us. Children under 13 should not send personal information to us without parent or guardian permission.
If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to Teddy Talks without appropriate consent, please contact us. We will review the request and take reasonable steps to delete the information when required.
If you submit a child's question, voice recording, photo, video, name, or story, you represent that you are the child's parent or legal guardian, or that you have appropriate permission to share it.
3. How We Use Information
We may use information to respond to messages, consider listener questions, operate and improve the website, send requested updates, provide free resources, protect the website, and manage podcast or educational content.
We may also use submissions in connection with the Teddy Talks Podcast, website, social media, educational resources, or promotional materials when permission has been given or when the submission was provided for that purpose.
4. How Information Is Shared
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate the website, email, podcast, analytics, file hosting, or related services. These providers may only use information as needed to provide their services to us.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, to prevent misuse of the website, or with your consent.
5. Cookies, Analytics, and Third-Party Platforms
The website may use cookies, pixels, embeds, or similar technologies through hosting providers, analytics tools, and third-party platforms. Embedded or linked services such as YouTube, Spotify, Instagram, Facebook, and sponsor websites may collect information according to their own privacy policies.
You can usually adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies. Some website features or embedded content may not work the same way after cookies are disabled.
6. Your Choices and Requests
You may contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information you have provided to Teddy Talks. Parents or guardians may contact us to request review or deletion of a child's personal information.
We retain information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected, to operate the podcast and website, to comply with legal obligations, or to resolve disputes.
We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, but no website, email system, or online service can guarantee absolute security.
