Where analytics tools are enabled, they may collect information about how visitors use the website. Your browser may provide controls for managing cookies, although disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Information may be shared with the service providers described above when necessary to operate the store, deliver purchases, process payments, manage newsletter subscriptions, or maintain the website. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect legal rights, security, or prevent fraud.

7. Information Security and Retention

Reasonable measures are used to help protect personal information. However, no website, online service, or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for order fulfillment, customer support, business records, legal obligations, and the purposes described in this policy, subject to applicable law.

8. Your Privacy Choices

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in the email. You may also contact Counseling Adventures to ask questions about personal information associated with your interactions with the store or website. Requests will be handled in accordance with applicable law.

Counseling Adventures resources are intended for use by educators and counselors working with children. The store is not intended to collect personal information directly from children through product activities. Please do not send identifying or confidential information through the website, contact forms, or email.
