Privacy & Cookie Policy 🌾
Welcome to MooAndPiggy.com! We are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors, especially parents and their young readers. This policy explains how we collect, use, and secure your information when you visit Wobbly-Gate Farm online.
1. Who We Are 🌳
Our website address is: https://MooAndPiggy.com. This site is hosted and operated by children's author Andrew Livesey, located amidst the beautiful mountains of Switzerland.
If you have any questions about this policy or your personal data, you can reach Andrew at: hello@mooandpiggy.com.
2. What Personal Data We Collect 🎨
We only collect information that you actively choose to give us, or that you consent to let us track:
- Newsletter Sign-up Information: When you register for our Free Giveaways (Coloring Pages and Cartoon Video), we collect the parent's email address and first name so we can deliver the printables.
- Website Interaction Tracking: If you explicitly consent to cookies, we record whether you click on our social media buttons (e.g. Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube) or retailer buy links (e.g. Amazon, IngramSpark).
- Standard Server Logs: Like all websites, our hosting server records basic non-identifying technical data (such as browser type, referring page, and date/time of visit) for security and maintenance.
3. Cookies & Consent (How We Use Them) 🍪
Cookies are tiny files saved in your browser that help us make your experience better. To comply with UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and US privacy laws, we operate a strict prior-consent model:
- Google Analytics 4 (GA4): We use GA4 to understand how parents use our site (e.g. which buttons are clicked, or how long they stay). These cookies are completely blocked until you explicitly click "Accept All" on our banner.
- HubSpot CRM Tracking: We use HubSpot to securely manage newsletter submissions and deliver your giveaways. HubSpot cookies (which track visitor sessions to link form submissions to existing records) are completely blocked until you accept our cookie banner.
- Local Preference Cookie: When you make a choice on our cookie banner (Accept or Decline), we store your choice locally in your browser (`localStorage`) so we don't ask you again.
If you choose to Decline cookies, you can still use 100% of our website perfectly, and no tracking scripts will load.
4. Why We Collect This Data 💌
We use your information solely for the following purposes:
- To instantly send the free printable coloring pages and cartoon video link to your email.
- To send you updates about Moo's book sequels, special farm activities, or new releases only if you checked the optional marketing opt-in box on the form.
- To analyze website metrics (which retailers or social channels are popular) so Andrew can plan future book campaigns.
5. How Long We Keep Your Data 🔒
We do not keep data forever. We only store your personal information for as long as is necessary to deliver our giveaways, manage our newsletters, or until you ask us to delete it. You can unsubscribe from our newsletters at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in the footer of any email we send you, or by contacting Andrew directly.
6. Sharing Your Data 🤝
We care deeply about trust. We will never sell, rent, trade, or share your personal data with third-party advertisers or marketers. Your email is only shared securely with HubSpot to deliver our coloring pages, which is securely guarded under their enterprise privacy standards.
7. Your Rights (UK, EU, & USA) ⚖️
Depending on where you live (such as the UK, European Union, California, or other US states), you have strong legal rights regarding your personal data:
- Right to Access: You can ask Andrew for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to Correction: You can ask us to update or fix any incorrect data.
- Right to Deletion (Right to be Forgotten): You can ask us to completely erase your email address and name from our databases at any time.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: You can revoke your cookie consent by clearing your browser cookies and choosing "Decline" on the banner, or by clicking unsubscribe.
To exercise any of these rights, simply email Andrew at hello@mooandpiggy.com and we will process your request within 30 days.
