Privacy & reader safety

A safe place for
good questions.

This website is designed for readers, families, teachers, librarians, and people interested in The Very Bad Plan. It does not ask children to create accounts or submit personal information.

01

Information we collect

There are no account, comment, or newsletter forms on this site. If an adult emails us, we receive the information included in that message. Basic security and delivery logs may be processed by our hosting provider.

02

Readers under 13

Readers under 13 must write through a parent or guardian’s email account. Please do not send a child’s full name, address, phone number, school, photograph, or other private information.

03

How messages are handled

We may send one relevant reply. We do not add reader messages to a marketing list or sell personal information. A sender’s address may be deleted after the conversation is complete, except where records are legally required.

04

Cookies and analytics

This first version does not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. Essential technical services may use short-lived data to protect and deliver the website. If analytics are added later, this notice will be updated first.

05

Publishing, licensing, adaptation, animation, education, and media enquiries should be sent to rights@theverybadplan.com.
