This technical information is collected using cookies or similar technologies and is used only for internal operations, such as keeping the site secure, preventing fraud, and understanding how families use our content.
We use information for the following purposes:
To review and manage children’s submissions (stories, drawings, artwork).

To send parents/guardians email updates, newsletters, and important notices about their child’s participation or about RJ the Curious Kid offerings.
To operate, maintain, and improve the website, including security, troubleshooting, and analytics.
We do not use children’s personal information collected through this site for behaviorally targeted advertising.
We do not sell children’s personal information. We may share limited information in these situations:
Service providers that help us run the website, send emails, host content, or provide analytics (for example, website hosting companies, email platforms, or analytics providers). These companies are allowed to use information only to perform services for us.
Public display of creative work when you have given permission—for example, posting a child’s story or artwork on the site or featuring it in a video, usually with first name, age, and country only.
Legal reasons if needed to comply with the law, respond to legal process, protect the safety of a child, or protect the rights of RJ the Curious Kid LLC.
We obtain parental consent before collecting, using, or publicly sharing personal information from a child, except for limited “one‑time contact” situations permitted under COPPA (such as responding to a single question).
Parents and guardians can at any time:
Review the personal information we have about their child.
Ask us to update or correct that information.
Ask us to delete their child’s personal information.
Withdraw consent for future collection or use of their child’s information.
To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in Section 8. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
We use cookies and similar technologies only for purposes allowed for child‑directed services, such as site functionality, security, and internal analytics.
Our site may also include:
Embedded videos (for example, YouTube)
Links to bookstores or other resources (for example, Amazon)
These third‑party services may collect their own information in line with their privacy policies, which may differ from ours. RJ the Curious Kid LLC does not control how these third parties handle data, and their practices are not covered by this Policy. Parents and educators should review those policies and supervise children’s use of external sites.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of personal information collected from children. Despite these efforts, no system can be completely secure, so we encourage parents to talk with their children about safe online behavior and to monitor their internet use.
If you have questions about this Policy, our privacy practices, or your child’s information, or if you would like to exercise your parental rights, please contact:
We may update this Privacy & Children’s Information Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of the page and, when appropriate, provide additional notice (for example, by email to parents or a notice on the site). Continued use of the website after any changes means that you accept the updated Policy
