Privacy Policy

This policy explains what personal information Emily Wrenford collects through this website, why it is collected, and what you can do about it. It is written to be read, not to be endured.

Who we are

This is the author website for Emily Wrenford. The books and companion Wrenford Wordway games are published by Crowe's Nest Productions. Contact the publisher at contact@crowesnestproductions.com about anything on this page.

Games for children, resources for grown-ups

The book, purchase and publisher contact information are for grown-ups. The games at /reading/games/ are designed for children to use with a grown-up. The games do not ask children to submit personal information. If a child sends personal details to the publisher by email, a grown-up can contact us to request deletion. The technical information involved in serving pages is described below.

What we collect

Game progress on your device

The games save anonymous round counts, best scores, practice stars and badges in this browser’s local storage. This progress is not sent to us or synced to a server. There are no child accounts, names, birthdays or email fields in the games, and the game pages do not load analytics or advertising trackers. You can reset progress from the games’ grown-up page or clear this site’s data in your browser. Games remain playable when local storage is unavailable.

The Adventure Journal displays those saved stars as place stamps and badges. It also saves a choice of Wren, Lex or Owl on this device. This is a fixed illustration choice, not a profile, and there is no name field or public leaderboard. Clearing this site’s data removes that choice. Resetting practice stars also resets the journal’s stamps and story milestones.

A grown-up can enter a reusable reading-book code to open bonus games. The code is checked in your browser; it is not sent to us. The browser saves which stages are unlocked, separately from practice progress. If local storage is unavailable, an unlock may last only for the current tab or page. “Forget book unlocks” on the grown-up page removes these saved permissions without deleting practice stars. Resetting practice stars does not remove book unlocks.

Information you give us

Sample packs are direct downloads. There are no newsletter or release-update signup forms. If a grown-up emails the publisher, our email provider processes the sender’s address and message so we can respond. Please do not include children’s personal details in a support request.

Information collected automatically

We do not currently load analytics or advertising trackers. Serving web pages involves normal connection information, such as an IP address, being received by the web host. This is separate from game progress, which stays in your browser and is not sent to us. Fonts and game artwork are served from this site, without third-party font or animation embeds.

What we do not do

• We do not sell personal information.
• We do not share your email address with other companies for their own marketing.
• We do not run advertising trackers or retargeting pixels on this site.
• We do not process payments here — purchases happen on Amazon, under Amazon's own policies.

Email

The publisher uses email to answer questions and help grown-ups with book-game codes. Downloading a sample does not subscribe you to anything. There is currently no automated email series. We will update this page before introducing a mailing list.

Cookies and similar technologies

The games use browser storage for progress, unlocks, the journal friend and scenery preferences. They do not use advertising cookies. You can block or clear browser storage; the games remain playable, although progress and preferences may not be saved.

Links to Amazon and other sites

Buttons marked "Buy on Amazon" send you to Amazon, which has its own privacy policy and its own cookies. We do not receive your Amazon order or payment details through this website. We are not currently an Amazon Associate; if that changes, this page and the relevant pages will say so plainly.

How long we keep information

Browser saves are specific to this browser and website address. They remain until you reset them, clear this site’s data, or the browser removes stored data. Support correspondence is kept as needed to handle the enquiry; you can ask the publisher to delete it. We do not maintain a server-side record of children’s game progress.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Email contact@crowesnestproductions.com and we will action it. We will not charge you for it or make you justify the request.

Security

Support correspondence is held with the publisher’s email provider rather than in the games. Game progress is kept on your device. No system is perfectly secure, and we keep the amount of information we hold deliberately small.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top. Significant changes will be explained on this website before new information-collection features are introduced.
