Privacy Policy

Effective October 7, 2026

Kidzle Studios is operated by Westfield Enterprises, LLC. This notice describes information used by the Kidzle store at kidzle.com. For privacy questions, access or deletion requests, or to report information submitted by a child, email hello@kidzle.com.

Parents and adult customers

Our stories are for children and families. The store’s download requests, purchases, and optional email offers are intended for adults age 18 or older. An adult must enter their own email and confirm they are an adult before submitting either form. This checkbox is a declaration; it does not verify identity or age.

Children should not submit personal information through these forms. These adult forms do not request children’s names, birth dates, photos, or email addresses. For the parent-submitted pumpkin contest, we request an age group and a parent-approved design image, which may include a title and first name or nickname. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us so we can investigate and remove it as appropriate. The store offers optional star ratings for adult download recipients and customers, but no public text reviews or child accounts. Optional private feedback is available to adults through their download links.

Information we use

• Your email address, selected artwork or collection, request date, and download entitlement.
• For purchases: Stripe checkout and payment identifiers, amount paid, collection and certificate numbers, payment/refund status, and email delivery status.
• Your optional marketing preference, its opt-in date, and an unsubscribe token.
• Technical information needed to deliver and protect the service. The application uses a hashed network address for request-rate limiting; service providers may also process IP addresses and request logs.

Stripe collects payment details in its hosted checkout. The Kidzle application does not store your full card number or security code.

How information is used

We use records to deliver downloads and certificates, confirm payments, provide repeat access, enforce one free scene per video per email, process refunds, respond to support requests, and prevent abuse. An address is stored for these purposes even when you do not subscribe to offers.

Artwork ratings

Adults with a free-download or paid-order link may rate their images from 1 to 5 stars. We store the rating, image, update date, and the email already associated with that download to allow one rating per image per email. Only averages and rating counts are public; names, email addresses, and download links are not displayed. Ratings do not affect YouTube likes or subscriptions. Adults who have opted into optional emails may receive one rating invitation after an artwork file request is at least three days old, if they have not rated. We record invitation status to prevent repeat invitations. Unsubscribing stops these optional invitations. You may update a rating through your private link or request its deletion by contacting us.

Private suggestions and feature requests

Adults may send optional private feedback from their download pages. We store the message, feedback type, associated image if selected, date, delivery status, and the email already linked to their download. Feedback is emailed to the studio owner for improvements and customer support; it is not displayed publicly and does not require marketing consent or a star rating. Stored messages may be reviewed together to identify common requests. Please do not include children’s personal information. Contact us to request access or deletion.

Pumpkin activity and contest

The Pumpkin Designer stores personalized names and design settings on your device. A download-only request saves the adult’s email and optional marketing preference; it does not upload the personalized design. Contest entry is a separate parent-reviewed step. The public copy keeps the pumpkin title and optional first name or nickname in the banner. The parent reviews the exact image and explicitly confirms permission to publish it and the child’s eligibility. Last names and contact details should not appear in the image.

Contest records include the parent email, child’s age group, public design image, consent and submission times, verification and review status, likes, winner rank, and prize edition. After parent email confirmation, designs appear automatically without individual studio approval. The studio can remove entries when needed. Public pages display only the public design image, an entry identifier, age group, like count, and any winner or edition details. Parent email addresses are private. Shared links and preview images make published designs publicly accessible.

Contest voting is open to people age 13 or older. Clicking Like declares age eligibility; it does not verify age. No email is requested for new likes. A first-party cookie holds a random browser identifier until the contest closes on October 31, 2026 at 9 p.m. Pacific. We store a hash of this identifier with each like to prevent repeat likes for the same design and remember the Liked button state. This cookie is used only for contest voting, not advertising or tracking across sites. Different people on the same Wi-Fi can vote from their own browsers. Clearing cookies or changing browsers can bypass this check; using that to inflate votes is prohibited. Existing likes and hashes from the earlier email-confirmation system remain counted, and previously requested confirmation links remain valid until their expiration. Contest submissions still require a parent or legal guardian age 18 or older to confirm their email. These checks do not verify legal identity or eliminate every form of abuse. Entry confirmation, the one-time first-like notification with a link to share the entry, and prize messages are contest service messages, separate from optional marketing. We record first-like email delivery status to prevent repeat notifications. Contact hello@kidzle.com for entry withdrawal, correction, access, or deletion requests. Contest records are retained for review, results, and prize delivery; no automatic deletion period is currently applied.

Optional email offers

Marketing consent is separate from requesting a free download or buying a collection. The checkbox starts unchecked on each newly opened form. Leaving it unchecked does not cancel an earlier subscription; use the unsubscribe link in an offer email or contact us to withdraw that subscription. Order and requested-download messages are separate from marketing messages.

Service providers and YouTube

The store uses OpenAI Sites hosting and Cloudflare-backed storage, Stripe for payments, and Resend for email delivery. These providers process information needed to provide their services. Kidzle does not sell its customer email list.

The site displays YouTube thumbnails and public video information. When you play an embedded video, it connects to YouTube’s privacy-enhanced player. External links open YouTube. Those services can process technical information under Google’s Privacy Policy. Privacy-enhanced embedding does not mean that no information is transmitted.

Store activity and campaign links

We count store page loads by day and, when present, the campaign link used to reach the store. These counts do not identify unique visitors. We do not use analytics cookies, browser fingerprinting, or cross-site advertising pixels. Campaign labels can be associated with an adult’s free claim or order when submitted from that link. We also record when a download entitlement first requests its artwork file; this does not confirm that the file was saved or printed. Our private business dashboard compares earlier free claims with later purchases using the same email address. These records help us understand collection interest and store performance.

Retention and your choices

Order and free-download records are retained to support repeat downloads, certificate verification, customer support, and necessary business records. This release does not apply an automatic deletion schedule to those records. You can request access, correction, or deletion by email. We may need to retain some payment or business records for applicable obligations; deleting entitlement records may prevent future access to downloads or certificates.

Keep your download and order links private: anyone with a valid link may be able to access the associated files. Certificate verification pages display artwork and certificate details, not customer email addresses.

Changes and contact

We will update this page when these practices change. Contact Westfield Enterprises, LLC / Kidzle Studios at hello@kidzle.com.
