At Kristen Lindeman's official website, we believe that the quiet magic of stories should come with a deep respect for the families who read them. Your trust matters, and so does your privacy. This policy is designed to be transparent, clear, and gentle, just like the stories we create.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website. By using this site, you agree to the terms outlined below.
We create books for children ages 5 to 9, and we share their parents' and caregivers' deep concern for online safety. Protecting the privacy of young readers is not just a legal obligation. It is a responsibility we hold close to our hearts.
Our website is not designed for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us through our contact form, and we will take immediate steps to delete that information.
We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to help us protect their privacy by teaching them never to share personal information online without permission.
We collect only the information necessary to connect with you and share Kristen's creative journey. This may include:
