Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 18, 2026
1. Information we collect
- Account information — the email address, display name, and password you use to sign in, or the basic profile details shared by Google if you sign in with Google.
- Creator information — the listings, files, previews, and profile details you publish, plus the payout details you provide to our payment processor.
- Order information — the resources you buy, order totals, order status, and download activity tied to your account.
- Usage information — page and listing views, searches, and similar activity we use to run marketplace analytics.
2. Payment information
Payments and creator payouts are handled by Stripe. Card numbers and bank details are entered directly with Stripe and are never stored on our servers. We keep only the order records we need to give you access to your files and to calculate creator earnings.
3. How we use information
We use your information to create and secure your account, deliver purchased files, send order receipts and account notifications, calculate and pay creator earnings, detect abuse or fraud, respond to support requests, and improve the marketplace.
4. Buyer watermarks
To discourage unauthorized sharing, downloaded PDFs may include a watermark showing the purchasing account's name or email. Creators do not receive your email address from the watermark.
5. Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us operate the marketplace — including our hosting and database provider, our payment processor, and our email provider — and when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users.
6. Cookies and local storage
We use cookies and browser storage to keep you signed in, remember your cart, and save preferences such as your saved filter presets. Blocking these may break sign-in and checkout.
7. Retention
We keep account and order records for as long as your account is open, and afterwards only as long as needed for tax, accounting, and dispute-resolution purposes.
8. Your choices
You can update your display name, email address, and password from your profile page. You can request deletion of your account by contacting us; note that we may need to retain order records tied to completed payments.
9. Children
The Parent Exchange is intended for adults. Accounts are for parents, caregivers, and educators, not for children.
10. Contact
Questions about privacy? Reach out from your account, or see our Terms of Service for the rest of the rules that apply to the marketplace.
