Privacy Policy

Colour Activities is a publishing site. We do not require accounts and do not run sign-up forms, member areas, or comment systems. The information we receive is limited to what your browser shares automatically and what advertising and analytics providers collect on our behalf.

This typically includes:

• IP address and approximate location (country or region).
• Device, operating system, and browser type.
• Pages viewed, referring URL, and time on page.
• Cookie and advertising identifiers (see the cookie policy).

If you email us at [email protected], we will see your name (if you include it), email address, and the contents of your message. We use this only to reply.

• To operate the site and serve pages reliably.
• To understand which pages and printables are useful (analytics).
• To display advertising that supports the site.
• To respond to direct enquiries you send by email.
• To detect and prevent abuse of our resources or infrastructure.

We do not sell personal information. We do not build profiles of individual visitors. We do not use the site to market to children directly.

The site uses cookies and similar identifiers for analytics and advertising. A full breakdown — including how to opt out — is on the cookie policy page.

We use Google Analytics (a Google service) to understand aggregate visitor patterns: which pages are read, which printables are downloaded, and roughly where visitors are coming from. Google Analytics sets its own cookies and processes data according to Google's policies. You can read Google's privacy notice at policies.google.com/privacy and learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Colour Activities is supported by advertising. We work with Google, including via Google AdSense, to display adverts. Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve adverts based on your prior visits to this and other websites. This is sometimes called "personalised advertising" or "interest-based advertising".

As required by Google's policies, we disclose the following:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve adverts based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve adverts to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Users may opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info or, in Europe, youronlinechoices.eu.

For Google's full list of advertising partners and how their cookies are used, see the Google advertising policies.

In addition to Google, the site loads fonts from Google Fonts and may link out to third-party resources (for example, official UK curriculum pages, recipe sources, or external articles). When you click an external link, you become subject to that site's own privacy practices.

Where UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, and improve the site.
• Consent — for non-essential cookies and personalised advertising, where required by law in your region.
• Legal obligation — where we must process information to comply with the law.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct or delete that data.
• Object to or restrict certain types of processing.
• Withdraw consent for cookie-based tracking at any time.
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority (for example, the UK ICO at ico.org.uk).

California residents have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete it, and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information as those terms are defined under California law. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy request".

Colour Activities is written for adults — teachers, practitioners, and parents — who plan activities for children. The site is not directed at children under 13, does not knowingly collect personal information from children, and does not run features (accounts, comments, uploads) where a child could share personal data with us. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Email correspondence is retained for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and then deleted on a periodic basis. Analytics data is retained according to Google's default retention settings. Advertising identifiers are managed by the relevant advertising provider.

The third parties we rely on (Google, hosting providers, font providers) operate globally and may process data outside your country of residence, including in the United States. These providers operate under their own safeguards (for example, standard contractual clauses) for international transfers.

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last reviewed" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent material change. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.

For privacy questions, opt-out requests, or data subject requests, email [email protected] with "Privacy" in the subject line. The site is operated from [Jurisdiction] and governed in line with applicable UK and EU data protection law where it applies.
