We do not sell personal information in exchange for money.
We may disclose information in the following circumstances:
Service providers. We share information with service providers that help us operate our business, fulfill orders, deliver downloads, process payments, and communicate with customers.
Legal obligations. We may disclose information when required by law, legal process, or a valid governmental request.
Security and legal protection. We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, protect our rights, enforce our agreements, or protect the safety and security of our customers and business.
Business transfers. If WiW undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of business assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable legal requirements.
With your direction or consent. We may share information in other circumstances when you direct us to do so or when you have provided any consent required by law.
Some privacy laws treat certain advertising or analytics disclosures as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information even when no money changes hands. Where applicable, we will honor the rights and choices provided by those laws.
8. Children's Privacy
Windows into Wonder creates educational materials intended to be used by adults with children. Our website, online store, and purchasing processes are directed toward parents, guardians, instructors, and other adults rather than children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through our website without the parental consent or authorization required by applicable law.
We ask parents and guardians to manage purchases, download requests, and email subscriptions on behalf of their children. Please do not submit a child's full name, contact details, photographs, educational records, or other identifying information unless it is necessary and appropriate for a specific interaction.
If we learn that we have collected personal information directly from a child in a manner that violates applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to delete the information or obtain the required parental consent.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us using the information in the final section of this policy.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
These measures may include using reputable service providers, limiting access to information, and relying on security features provided by our website and payment platforms.
However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you share information with us at your own risk.
Please do not send payment card details, passwords, or other highly sensitive information through ordinary email.
10. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including delivering products, maintaining customer records, responding to requests, administering our business, and meeting legal obligations.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we will take appropriate steps to delete it, anonymize it, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal, accounting, and recordkeeping requirements.
If you unsubscribe from promotional emails, we may retain limited information necessary to honor your preference and prevent future unwanted communications.

14. Educational Disclaimer
Windows into Wonder provides curriculum materials and educational resources for use by families, homeschoolers, instructors, and other educational settings.
We are not a public school, charter school, umbrella school, or government education authority. Unless expressly stated otherwise, we do not maintain official educational records on behalf of families, submit attendance or assessment records to government agencies, or determine whether a family has satisfied its legal homeschooling obligations.
Parents and guardians are responsible for understanding and complying with the homeschooling, attendance, reporting, assessment, and recordkeeping requirements that apply to their circumstances.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices, website technologies, service providers, or legal obligations.
