Last updated 1 August 2026

This policy explains how Printables for Parents (“we”, “us”) handles personal data. We are the data controller for this website. You can reach us at [email protected].

The short version

You do not need an account to use this site. We do not ask for your name or email address, we do not run a mailing list, and we do not sell anything. The only personal data involved is what your browser sends automatically, plus the advertising cookies you choose to accept.

What we collect

Server logs. Our hosting provider records standard access logs: IP address, the page requested, the time, your browser type. These are used to keep the site running and secure, and are kept for a limited period by the host. Legal basis: legitimate interests (running and protecting the website).

Advertising and cookies. This site is funded by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may set cookies or use similar technologies to serve and measure adverts. Where consent is required, you are asked before any non-essential cookie is set, using Google’s consent message. You can change your choice at any time, see the cookie policy. Legal basis: consent.

Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, which pages are read and which printables are downloaded. It is configured so that nothing is stored on your device unless you accept, and your IP address is anonymised. We cannot identify you from it and we do not try to. Legal basis: consent.

Email you send us. If you email us, we hold that message and your address for as long as it takes to deal with your query, and for a reasonable period afterwards. Legal basis: legitimate interests (responding to correspondence).

What we do not collect

We do not collect names, addresses, payment details or any information about your children. Downloading a PDF does not require any personal data and is not tied to you.

Who your data is shared with

• Our hosting provider, which stores the site and its access logs.
• Google, for analytics and for advertising, where you have consented. Google’s own privacy policy explains what it does with that data.

We do not share data with anyone else, and we do not sell data.

Children

This site is written for adults. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask for a copy of any personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, object to processing, or withdraw consent. Email us and we will deal with it within one month.

If you are unhappy with our response you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
