Privacy Policy
Effective October 5, 2026
Brin and Melly respects the privacy of readers, families, educators, and visitors. This policy explains what information the website may collect and how it is used.
Information you choose to provide
If you join the Brin and Melly email list, the website collects the email address you submit, the signup time, and the signup source. If you contact Aaron by email or through a contact feature, the information you include in your message is received so Aaron can respond.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information through the website.
Website and analytics information
Brin and Melly uses website hosting, security, and analytics services, including Cloudflare and Google Analytics. These services may process information such as your device and browser type, pages visited, referring website or source, approximate location, network information, and similar technical data.
This information helps keep the website secure, understand which pages are useful, and improve the visitor experience.
Children’s privacy
Brin and Melly books are created for children and families, but the website’s email signup and contact features are intended for parents, guardians, educators, and other adults.
The website does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Children under 13 should not submit an email address or use a contact feature. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has submitted personal information, email ChavezCarving@icloud.com to request its deletion.
How information is used
Information may be used to send newsletter subscribers book news, event announcements, classroom resources, free activities, special giveaways, and occasional updates; respond to messages; operate, secure, and improve the website; understand website use; and meet legal obligations. The free coloring pages may be downloaded without providing an email address.
How information is shared
Brin and Melly does not sell or rent personal information. Information may be shared with hosting, analytics, email, security, and other service providers only when needed to operate the website and provide requested communications. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or necessary to protect the website, its visitors, or others.
Retention and your choices
Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, until you unsubscribe, or until a valid deletion request is completed. You may unsubscribe from email updates at any time using the instructions in an email or by contacting Aaron.
To ask about your information, update your email preferences, or request deletion, email ChavezCarving@icloud.com.
Security
Reasonable measures are used to protect information. No website, transmission, or storage system can guarantee absolute security.

The website links to services such as Amazon, Etsy, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Goodreads, and other websites. Those services have their own privacy practices and policies.
