This Privacy Policy explains our practices for ToyImpact (“we,” “us,” “our”). By using this website, you agree to the terms described below.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

If you contact us through our contact form or by email, we collect the information you choose to include, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, we automatically collect certain non-personally-identifiable information when you visit, including your browser type, device type, approximate location (based on IP address), pages viewed, referring URLs, and time spent on the site. This information is collected through standard server logs and analytics tools and helps us understand how our content is used.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites remember information about your visit. ToyImpact uses cookies for the following purposes:

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how certain parts of the site function.

3. Advertising and Third-Party Vendors

ToyImpact may display advertisements served by third-party advertising companies, including Google. Google’s use of advertising cookies, such as the DoubleClick DART cookie, enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com. You can also visit www.aboutads.info to opt out of participating vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising.

We do not control the cookies or tracking technologies used by third-party advertising partners, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to their practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party ad networks that appear on this site.

4. Analytics

We may use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to help understand how visitors use our site. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about site usage. This data is reported in aggregate and is not used to personally identify individual visitors.

5. Children’s Privacy

ToyImpact publishes content about children’s toys and products, but this website is intended for use by parents, caregivers, and adult readers — not by children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at contact@toyimpact.com.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and the right to opt out of certain data uses. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details on our Contact page.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. External Links

Our site contains links to external websites, including retailers such as Amazon, as well as other informational resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or operational reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page, and continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
