Privacy Policy

Welcome to Ayito.co (“Ayito,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit or use our website, including our stories, coloring pages, downloadable materials, and related services (collectively, the “Website”).

By using Ayito.co, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information in the following ways:

a. Information collected automatically
When you visit the Website, certain information may be collected automatically through cookies, analytics tools, advertising technologies, server logs, and similar technologies. This may include:

  • IP address
  • browser type and version
  • device type
  • operating system
  • pages viewed
  • referral source
  • approximate geographic information
  • date and time of visits
  • interactions with content and ads

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar identifiers to collect information about website traffic and usage. For websites, Google Analytics stores a client ID in a first-party _ga cookie unless analytics storage is disabled through consent settings.

b. Information you provide voluntarily
If you contact us through a contact form or email, we may collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message.

c. Download and usage information
When you access downloadable resources such as PDFs or printable materials, we may collect technical information related to those downloads, such as file requests, page views, and general usage activity.

2. How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

  • operate, maintain, and improve the Website;
  • understand how visitors use our content;
  • measure website performance and audience engagement;
  • provide and optimize stories, coloring pages, and downloadable materials;
  • detect security issues, abuse, or technical problems;
  • respond to inquiries and messages;
  • display and measure advertising;
  • comply with legal obligations.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to improve functionality, understand traffic, remember preferences, and support advertising.

Cookies may include:

  • essential cookies for basic website functionality;
  • analytics cookies to understand traffic and usage;
  • advertising cookies to show ads and measure ad performance;
  • consent-related cookies to remember your privacy choices.

Google states that AdSense publishers must clearly display a privacy policy notifying visitors about the site’s use of cookies, and that third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to a website or other websites.

4. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with the Website. Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, approximate location, device information, and interactions with the site. Google requires sites using Google Analytics to disclose the use of Google Analytics and how it collects and processes data.

Google Analytics may use cookies and identifiers to distinguish users and sessions. Google also provides privacy controls that can disable Analytics data collection, reduce location/device data collection, redact certain data, and manage advertising-related features.

You can learn more about how Google collects and processes data through Google’s own materials and privacy information. We recommend linking to Google’s Privacy & Terms page and any relevant Analytics information pages in your published policy. Google also offers a browser opt-out add-on for Analytics.

5. Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display ads on the Website. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the Internet. Google’s advertising cookies enable it and its partners to serve ads based on prior visits.

Depending on your location and consent choices, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. If you serve personalized ads to users in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, Google says publishers need to work with a Google-certified CMP for consent purposes.

6. The Moneytizer

We may work with The Moneytizer and its advertising partners to help monetize the Website. These services may use cookies, trackers, identifiers, and related technologies to deliver ads, measure campaign performance, prevent fraud, and optimize monetization.

Because ad-tech partners can vary, the specific vendors, cookies, and legal bases may depend on your setup and user location. The Moneytizer states that its privacy materials describe what information is collected and why, and references GDPR-related processing by Azerion on its site materials.

7. Legal Bases and Consent

Where required by applicable law, we rely on consent for certain cookies, analytics, and personalized advertising technologies. In other cases, we may rely on legitimate interests, contract, legal obligations, or other lawful bases as permitted by applicable law.

If a consent banner or privacy message is shown on the Website, your choices will control certain cookies and advertising features where technically supported. Google provides Privacy & messaging tools to help publishers manage privacy choices and user messages.

8. Children’s Privacy

Ayito provides content suitable for children, but the Website is intended primarily for parents, teachers, and caregivers. We do not knowingly ask children to submit personal information through the Website.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review the situation and delete the information where appropriate.

9. Sharing of Information

We may share information:

  • with service providers that help operate the Website;
  • with analytics and advertising partners;
  • when required by law, legal process, or regulatory request;
  • to protect rights, safety, and security;
  • in connection with a business transfer, reorganization, or sale.

For example, Google Analytics data sharing is controlled by Google’s product terms and settings, and Google explains that it does not share Analytics data without customer authorization except in limited circumstances permitted by the Analytics agreement or required by law.

10. International Hosting and Data Transfers

Our Website may be hosted on servers located in the United States. As a result, information may be processed, transferred, or stored in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

If you access the Website from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to a jurisdiction that may have different data protection laws than those in your country.

11. Data Retention

We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

For Google Analytics, retention settings can vary by property configuration. Google states that standard Google Analytics properties can set certain user-level data retention periods to 2 months or 14 months, depending on the data type and configuration.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

  • request access to certain personal information;
  • request correction or deletion;
  • object to or restrict certain processing;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
  • request portability where applicable.

You may also manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through our consent tools or privacy banner.

13. Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

14. Third-Party Links and Services

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of those third parties. Their use of your information is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page and update the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
