Privacy Policy

DozyStories values your privacy. We do not collect any personal identifying information. All data is stored locally in your browser.

Information We Collect

This website does not collect, store, or process any personal privacy information. We do not require you to provide your name, email address, phone number, or other personally identifiable information (PII).

COPPA Compliance

This website complies with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We explicitly state: 1) We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13; 2) The site has no registration, no login, and no form of any kind through which personal information could be submitted; 3) Our stories are retold from public-domain folk tales, and we have kept the sterner, sometimes dark endings of the tradition rather than sanitising them. The site is therefore written for parents and teachers: every story carries a recommended age, reading time and difficulty level, along with an introduction and discussion questions, and we suggest an adult reads it first before sharing it with a child.

Cookies

This website uses Google AdSense to display advertisements and Google Analytics to measure traffic. Google may use cookies to serve and measure ads. These cookies are set and managed by Google, and we have no access to the information they hold. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings; visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland can also manage their personalised-advertising choices through the consent message shown on the site.

Third-Party Services

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements and Google Analytics to analyse website usage (anonymous data). Both are provided by Google and governed by Google's Privacy Policy, which we recommend reviewing for details. We use no other third-party services, and we neither sell nor share user data with anyone.

Children's Privacy Protection

This website: 1) collects no personal information from anyone, so there is no children's data for us to pass on; 2) requires no registration or login; 3) does no ad targeting of its own and hands no user data to advertisers — the advertisements on these pages are served by Google AdSense and are governed by Google's policies for content aimed at children; 4) labels every story with a recommended age and difficulty level, so that parents and teachers can judge what suits their own child or class.

Data Security

Since we do not collect any personal information, there is no risk of data breach. We recommend that users maintain good cybersecurity habits when browsing any website.
