Privacy Policy

**Effective Date:** April 29, 2025

Bella and Bird Books values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following personal information when you make a purchase or subscribe to our newsletter:

– Name

– Email address

– Mailing address

– Payment details (processed securely via Stripe)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

– Fulfill your orders

– Send you order confirmations and shipping updates

– Send monthly newsletters (if you opt in)

– Improve our website and services

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We only share data with third parties as necessary to operate our business (e.g., Stripe for payments, shipping providers).

4. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information. All payment data is encrypted and processed by Stripe.

5. Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and analyze website traffic.

6. Your Choices

You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in our emails. You may also contact us to access or update your personal data.

7. Children’s Privacy

Use by Adults for Children While our products and content are designed for use with children, our website is intended for adults—such as parents, caregivers, and educators. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that a child has submitted personal information without parental consent, we will delete it immediately.

8. International Users

If you are accessing our site from outside the United States, please note that your data may be transferred and processed in the U.S.

9. Automated Decision-Making

We do not use personal data to make decisions based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects. Some third-party services we use (like Stripe) may perform automated fraud detection, but we do not control these decisions.

10. Your Rights Under GDPR and CCPA

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or California, you have certain rights under data protection laws, including:

– The right to access, correct, or delete your personal data

– The right to object to or restrict processing of your data

– The right to data portability

– The right to withdraw consent at any time (if applicable)

– The right to know what data we collect, disclose, or sell (CCPA)

To exercise these rights, please contact us at info@bellabirdbooks.com.

11. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that lets you tell websites you do not want your online activities tracked. Currently, we do not respond to DNT signals because there is no consistent industry standard for compliance. We will review this policy and update it as standards evolve.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. The new version will be posted on this page with the updated effective date.

13. Contact Us

If you have any questions, please contact us at info@bellabirdbooks.com.

If you are not satisfied with our response to your complaint, you have the right to lodge your complaint with the relevant data protection authority. You can contact your local data protection authority, or our supervisory authority here: https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/
