Richard Carlson respects your privacy. This policy explains what information this website may collect, how it is used, and the choices available to visitors—including children and teens.
Information We Collect
This website may collect:
• Information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, message, or mailing address when you contact us, join a newsletter, enter a contest, request school-visit information, or purchase a book.
• Basic website information, such as device type, browser, pages visited, approximate location based on IP address, and how visitors use the site. This may be collected through cookies or analytics tools.
• Purchase information, if you buy through this site. Payments are handled by Amazon; we do not store full payment-card details.
Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for readers, families, educators, librarians, and other visitors.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without verifiable permission from a parent or legal guardian.
If a child under 13 wants to submit artwork, a question, a review, or other content, a parent or guardian should submit it on the child’s behalf. Please do not send a child’s full name, home address, school name, phone number, photo, or other identifying details unless we have specifically requested and received parental permission.
Parents or guardians may contact us to:
• Review or request deletion of their child’s information
• Withdraw permission for further collection or use
• Ask questions about our privacy practices
If we learn that we collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate parental permission, we will delete it promptly.
Teens
Teens may use the website and contact us, but should avoid sharing sensitive or identifying information in messages, comments, or submissions. If a teen is under the age of majority where they live, a parent or guardian should handle purchases, contest entries, and permissions for publication.
How We Use Information
We may use information to:
• Respond to messages and requests
• Send newsletters or updates when a visitor has signed up
• Process orders or event requests
• Administer contests, giveaways, or classroom activities
• Improve the website and understand which pages are useful
• Protect the website from spam, fraud, or misuse
• Meet legal obligations
We do not sell personal information.

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required by law.
