Privacy Policy for Noksted.com

Last Updated: 16 October 2025

Welcome to Noksted.com, home of Benji & Sage and the Nature Adventure Club.
Your family’s privacy matters deeply to us. We are committed to protecting your personal information and ensuring that children can safely enjoy our stories and activities under the guidance of their parents or guardians.

1. Who We Are

Noksted.com is operated by Ed Anguish, located in the United Kingdom.
We create and share stories, printable resources, and activities that inspire children to explore nature and imagination safely.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is used, please contact us at:
📧 ed@noksted.com

2. What Information We Collect

We collect only what’s needed to provide our services responsibly:

  • Parent or Guardian’s Name and Email Address — when you subscribe to our newsletter, download free activity packs, or join the Nature Adventure Club.
  • Optional Details — such as your child’s first name or age range (only if you choose to share it), to help us tailor age-appropriate materials.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 years old.
All communication is made through the parent or guardian’s email only.

3. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used only to:

  • Send activity emails, printable packs, and updates from Noksted.com.
  • Share information about Benji & Sage books and related materials.
  • Respond to your questions or requests.

We will never sell, rent, or share your personal data with other organisations for marketing purposes.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Compliance)

If you are located in the UK or EU, we process your information under the following lawful bases:

  • Consent: You have given clear consent for us to contact you via email.
  • Legitimate Interest: We may process limited data to maintain and improve our services, always respecting your rights and privacy.

You can withdraw consent at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” in our emails or contacting us directly.

5. Children’s Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K Compliance)

Protecting children’s privacy is central to our mission.

  • We communicate only through the parent or guardian’s email.
  • We do not knowingly collect or store children’s personal information.
  • If a child under 13 contacts us directly, we will delete any personal details as soon as we become aware.
  • Parents may review or request deletion of any information provided by their child by contacting us at the address above.

This approach follows both:

  • COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, USA)
  • GDPR-K (Child Data Protection standards under EU/UK GDPR)

6. Cookies and Analytics

We use only essential cookies and simple analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site and to improve it.
These tools:

  • Do not identify individual users.
  • Do not collect personal data.
  • Can be controlled or turned off through your browser settings.

We do not use advertising cookies or behavioural tracking.

7. How We Store and Protect Your Data

Your data is stored securely using trusted third-party services (such as our email provider) that comply with GDPR and international security standards.
We keep your data only for as long as necessary to deliver our services.
When you unsubscribe or ask for deletion, your information is permanently removed.

8. International Data Transfers

As our audience includes families from different countries, your data may be processed outside your home country (for example, by email platforms based in the U.S.).
We only use providers that follow GDPR-approved safeguards and data transfer standards (such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework).

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the information we hold about you.
  • Request correction or deletion of your information.
  • Withdraw consent for us to contact you.
  • File a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your rights have been violated.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at ed@noksted.com and we’ll respond promptly.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services or privacy practices.
The most recent version will always be posted here with the “Last Updated” date clearly shown.
