Our Privacy Policy
We believe in being honest, transparent, and protecting your family's privacy. Here's everything you need to know, explained in plain English (no legal jargon, we promise!).
Last Updated: October 15, 2025
Welcome to Our Clubhouse! 🏡
Hi there! We're Stellar Lane Friends, and we're so glad you found your way to our little corner of the internet. We create stories, printables, and resources to help families connect, play, and grow together.
This Privacy Policy is our way of being completely transparent with you about what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe. Think of this as a friendly chat about the "house rules" of our online clubhouse—no confusing legal speak, just honest neighbor-to-neighbor talk.
Bottom line: We respect your privacy as much as we'd respect a neighbor's garden fence. We're here to help, not to invade.
What Information We Collect
Information You Give Us Directly
When you sign up to receive our free printables, bonuses, or join our email family, we ask for:
- Your First Name: So we can greet you like the friend you are! (We think "Hey, you!" is a bit too impersonal.)
- Your Email Address: This is our primary way of staying in touch and delivering the goodies you signed up for.
That's it! We don't ask for your credit card, your social security number, or your grandmother's secret cookie recipe. Just the basics to keep things friendly and helpful.
Information We Collect Automatically
Like most websites, we automatically collect some information to help us understand how you use our site:
- Download History: We keep track of which printables you download. Why? So we can send you more recommendations you'll actually love! (If you downloaded our coloring pages, we won't spam you with math worksheets.)
- Cookies & Similar Technologies: We use small files called "cookies" to remember your preferences, keep our site running smoothly, and understand which pages are most helpful to families like yours.
- Usage Data: Basic info like which pages you visit, how long you stay, and what device you're using. This helps us make the site better for everyone.
How We Use Your Information
Great question! Here's exactly what we do with the information you share:
📦 To Deliver What You Asked For
When you sign up for a free printable or bonus, we use your email to send it straight to your inbox. Simple as that!
đź’Ś To Build a Relationship with You
We send friendly email sequences (like our Welcome Series or Post-Purchase emails) to share stories, tips, and introduce you to our books and resources. Think of it like getting letters from a pen pal who really cares about your family.
🎨 To Personalize Your Experience
We use your download history to understand what you're interested in. If you love coloring pages, we'll suggest more creative activities. If you're into educational printables, we'll share learning resources. It's like having a librarian who knows your favorite genre!
🔧 To Improve Our Website
We analyze how families use our site so we can make it better, faster, and more helpful. If everyone's struggling to find the download button, we'll move it! (We're always learning.)
How We Share Your Information
🛡️ Our "No-Sell" Promise
We do NOT sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Period. End of story. Your email list is yours, not a commodity.
That said, we do work with trusted third-party services to operate our website and deliver our content. Here's who helps us:
- Website Hosting: We use services like Vercel to keep our site up and running smoothly.
- Database Storage: We use Supabase to securely store your information (think of it as a super-safe filing cabinet).
- Email Service: We use an email service provider to send you our newsletters and printables. They have access to your email address, but only to deliver our messages—they don't own your data or use it for anything else.
All of these partners are required to keep your information confidential and use it only for the purposes we specify. We choose our partners carefully—like we'd choose a babysitter!
Your Rights & Choices
You're in control! Here's what you can do:
✉️ Unsubscribe Anytime
Every email we send has an "unsubscribe" link at the bottom. One click, and you're out—no hard feelings! (Though we'll miss you like a friend who moved away.)
đź“‚ Access or Delete Your Data
Want to know what information we have about you? Or want us to delete it? Just email us at:
friends@stellarlaneandfriends.com
We'll respond within a few business days and take care of your request. Your data, your choice!
Children's Privacy (Very Important!)
Our website and services are designed for parents and guardians—not for children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years old. If we discover that we've accidentally collected information from a child under 13, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our systems.
If you're a parent and you believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at friends@stellarlaneandfriends.com, and we'll make it right.
Note: While our stories and printables are created FOR children to enjoy, our website itself (the newsletter signup, downloading, etc.) should be handled by a parent or guardian.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
As our clubhouse grows and evolves, we may need to update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any significant changes, we'll let you know via email or by posting a notice on our website.
We'll always update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page so you know when the policy was last revised.
Questions? We're Here to Help!
If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to chat about how we handle your information, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're real people, and we read every message!
Thank you for trusting us with your family's information. We don't take that lightly, and we're committed to protecting your privacy every step of the way. ❤️
