Privacy Policy

Meadow Bear ("Meadow Bear," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy - and we take the privacy of children especially seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through meadowbear.net, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Our Commitment to Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Meadow Bear creates content for children ages 2-4, and our video content is designated "Made for Kids" on YouTube and other platforms. However, this website is directed at parents, guardians, and other adults - not children.

• We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under 13.
• Our Contact form requires users to confirm they are 18 or older.
• We do not offer accounts, comments, chat features, or any interactive functionality directed at children on this Site.
• We do not serve personalized (behavioral) advertising on this Site.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at meadowbearcommunity@gmail.com. We will delete that information promptly.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly. When an adult uses our Contact form or emails us, we collect the name, email address, and message contents provided.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we collect limited technical data when you visit: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring URL. This is collected through essential cookies and, only with your consent, analytics cookies. See our Cookies Policy for details.

Information we do NOT collect. We do not collect payment information, precise geolocation, or biometric data through this Site. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

• Respond to inquiries submitted through the Contact form;
• Operate, maintain, and secure the Site;
• Understand how visitors use the Site (aggregate analytics, with consent) so we can improve it;
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your information for targeted advertising.

4. How We Share Information

We share information only in these limited circumstances:

• Service providers who help us operate the Site (e.g., website hosting, email), bound by confidentiality obligations;
• Legal compliance, if required by law, regulation, or valid legal process;
• Business transfers, if Meadow Bear is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, in which case this Policy will continue to apply to your information.

5. Third-Party Platforms

Our content is published on YouTube (as "Made for Kids" content) and Instagram (@officialmeadowbear). When you view our content on those platforms, their privacy policies apply, not ours. YouTube's "Made for Kids" designation limits data collection and disables personalized ads on our videos in accordance with COPPA.

6. Cookies

We use essential cookies necessary for the Site to function, and optional analytics cookies that are only set with your consent. You can manage your choices at any time via the Cookie Preferences link in our footer. Full details are in our Cookies Policy.

7. Data Retention

We keep Contact form submissions only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and for reasonable record-keeping, after which they are deleted. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data appropriately.

9. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, email us at meadowbearcommunity@gmail.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

For EU/UK visitors (GDPR): Our legal bases for processing are consent (analytics cookies, contact submissions) and legitimate interest (site security and operation). You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

For California residents (CCPA/CPRA): We do not sell or share personal information as defined under California law. You may request disclosure or deletion of your information by contacting us.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the Effective Date of July 8, 2026 above and, where appropriate, highlighted on the Site.
