Privacy Policy

Who we are

HapKids and Hap are trading names of Synet Consulting Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (“we”, “us”). We run hap.ing and the HapKids Pinterest account, and we sell our printables through our Etsy shop. For anything about your personal data, email hello@hap.ing.

What we collect

• Your email address (and first name, if you give it) when you sign up for a free printable or our newsletter.
• Messages you send us, for example by email or through Etsy.
• Basic technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages visited, which our hosting provider records to keep the site secure and working.

We do not take payments on this website. When you buy a HapKids product, you do so on Etsy, and Etsy handles your order and payment details under its own privacy policy.

How we use it

• To send you the free printable you asked for and, if you subscribed, our emails with new freebies, ideas and product news (based on your consent).
• To reply to your messages.
• To keep the website secure and understand how it is used (based on our legitimate interest in running the site).

Every email includes an unsubscribe link. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

Who we share it with

We never sell your data. We use trusted service providers who process data on our behalf:

• Kit (email list and email delivery)
• Hostinger (website hosting)
• Google Workspace and n8n (internal storage and automation)
• Anthropic (AI writing and analysis tools)
• HTMLCSStoImage (creating and hosting our Pinterest images)

Some of these providers process data outside the UK. Where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or adequacy regulations.

Our Pinterest integration

We use a private tool, “HapKids Pin Publisher”, to manage our own Pinterest Business account. With the account owner’s authorisation, it reads our own boards and pins, creates pins on our own boards that link to our products and free printables, and reads analytics for our own pins (impressions, saves and clicks). It does not access data belonging to other Pinterest users. Pin details and performance figures are stored in a private Google Sheet that only we can access, and our access can be revoked at any time in Pinterest settings.

Cookies

This site uses only the cookies needed for it to work, plus cookies set by our sign-up forms so they can function. We do not currently use advertising cookies. If that changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent where required.

How long we keep it

We keep your email address until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Messages are kept for as long as needed to deal with your query. Technical logs are kept for a limited period by our host.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, object to or restrict how we use it, and ask for a copy of it. Email hello@hap.ing and we will respond within one month. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Children

Our printables are for children to use with an adult, but this website and our emails are for parents, carers and educators. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
