Privacy Policy

Coloring Notebook collects only the information needed to operate the site, understand basic site performance, and respond when readers choose to contact us.

We use basic analytics to understand page views, reading behavior, and outbound link activity. This helps us improve guides and supplies coverage without selling personal reader information.

When a reader clicks a merchant or affiliate link, we may record a basic outbound click event such as the page slug, recommendation slot, and merchant category. We do not receive checkout details, payment information, or private Amazon account data from those clicks.

If you choose to join a printable update list, the email address you submit is sent through our first-party signup route to our configured email provider. We currently use Resend to store subscribers, send requested updates, and process unsubscribes. To prevent repeated welcome deliveries, the route may create a keyed identifier from the normalized address and retain that identifier with delivery state in Convex for up to 30 days. This coordination record does not contain the email address, campaign fields, or message content. Analytics events for signup success do not include your email address.

If you use the contact form, your email address, optional name, selected topic, and message are sent through our first-party route and configured email provider so the publication can review and respond. Contact analytics include only the topic class, page, and campaign context; they do not include your email address, name, or message. Contact messages are kept only as long as reasonably needed for the conversation, recordkeeping, abuse prevention, or legal obligations.

External links may send visitors to merchant, marketplace, or resource pages. Those destinations have their own privacy practices.
