Dandelion's World website privacy policy

Effective 7 November 2026.

This policy covers the dandelionsworld.com website. The website is for parents, grandparents and other grown-ups who want to learn about Dandelion's World. Our apps and videos are made for children, and each has its own policy:

In short: the apps collect nothing and cannot use the Internet. The website uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful. It has no ads and no accounts. Its only form is an optional email sign-up for grown-ups, and we never sell information about visitors.

Who we are

Dandelion's World is made by TCP3 LLC. Questions about this policy: privacy@tcp3.com.

Site analytics and cookies

The website uses Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to understand how the site is used. When a page loads, Google Analytics records:

  • the page viewed and the site or link that led to it;
  • the type of device and browser, the screen size and the language;
  • an approximate location (country and region), worked out from the IP address. Google Analytics does not store the IP address itself.

To tell new visits from repeat ones, Google Analytics sets first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_… in the browser. They hold a random number, not a name or email address.

We use this only to see how many people visit and which pages help them. Google signals, advertising features and ad personalization are turned off, the site never sends a name, email address or user ID to Google Analytics, and the data is not linked to Google Ads. Google Analytics keeps it for 2 months. Google handles it under Google's privacy policy.

Other services the pages use

  • Fonts: the pages load their fonts from Google Fonts, so Google receives the IP address and browser details of the device requesting them. Google Fonts does not set cookies.
  • Videos: the Videos page shows pictures of our videos. Nothing from YouTube loads until someone presses play. The video then plays in place from youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, under YouTube's policies.
  • Coloring pages: the free coloring pages are colored right in the browser. The coloring is kept only in that browser's local storage, so a picture is still there next time, and is never sent to us or anyone else. Clearing the site's data in the browser removes it.
  • Links: links to Google Play and YouTube take you to those services, which have their own privacy policies.

Our videos on YouTube

Our videos are on the Dandelion's World YouTube channel. They are marked "made for kids", so YouTube turns off personalized ads and comments on them and limits the data it collects. YouTube runs the channel and the videos under Google's privacy policy. We see only YouTube's combined statistics, such as the number of views, never who watched.

Email sign-up

Some pages offer a free printable activity pack by email. The sign-up form is for adults: it asks you to confirm that you are a parent, carer or teacher aged 18 or over. When you sign up, we receive:

  • your email address;
  • which pack you asked for and the page you signed up on;
  • the campaign tags in the link that brought you to the site, if any (for example utm_source);
  • the date and time, and whether you have confirmed your address.

We never ask for, and never want, information about your child.

We first send one email with a link to confirm your address. If you don't confirm within 7 days, your details are deleted. Once you confirm, we send the pack and, from time to time, news about new learning games from Dandelion's World. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing deletes your details. We never share your address with anyone else, and we never use it for advertising.

The sign-up runs on Amazon Web Services in the United States: the details are stored in Amazon DynamoDB, and emails are sent with Amazon SES. AWS processes them for us under the AWS privacy notice.

Information you send us

If you email TCP3, TCP3 receives your email address and whatever the message contains. TCP3 uses it only to reply and to fix problems, and does not share it with anyone else. It is deleted once it is no longer needed for that, or sooner on request to privacy@tcp3.com. Please don't send photos or videos of children, or personal details that aren't needed.

Children

The website is written for grown-ups and is not directed to children. It has no accounts or chat, its only form is the email sign-up for adults described above, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Analytics are used only to run and improve the site, never for advertising or to build a profile of anyone. If you think a child has sent us personal information, email privacy@tcp3.com and we will delete it.

Your choices

  • Block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. The site works the same without them.
  • Install Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
  • Unsubscribe from our emails with the link at the bottom of any of them. That also deletes your sign-up details.
  • Ask us about, or to delete, your sign-up details or an email you sent: privacy@tcp3.com.

We do not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising, as those terms are used in US state privacy laws.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will post the new version here with a new effective date at the top.
