Privacy

This page is about thepicnics.org. Each Picnic has its own privacy page.

What this site collects

Nothing about you. thepicnics.org has no forms, no sign-in, no analytics and no tracking scripts. It does not set cookies. Its fonts and images come from this address, not from third-party services.

What stays on your device

If you choose a color palette or light or dark mode, the choice is saved in your browser's local storage under the-picnics:palette and the-picnics:color-scheme, so the page looks the same next time. It is not sent to us. Clearing this site's data in your browser removes it. Each Picnic keeps its own choice, so a palette chosen here does not follow you to another Picnic.

Hosting

Cloudflare hosts and delivers the site. Like any website, each request reaches Cloudflare with connection information, such as your IP address, browser type and the page asked for. Cloudflare uses it to deliver the page and protect the site from abuse, and short-lived logs of requests are kept for a few days so that problems can be diagnosed. They are not used to identify or follow visitors. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Children

The Picnics are made for children and are used by them. This site does not ask anyone, child or adult, for personal information, and does not knowingly collect any. Children's answers and scores on the Picnics are not collected. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, for example in an email, write to hello@thepicnics.org and we will delete it.

Links to the Picnics and other sites

The links on this site go to the individual Picnics and occasionally to other websites. Each has its own privacy page; Math Picnic (mathpicnic.com), Phonics Picnic (phonicspicnic.com), Grammar Picnic (grammarpicnic.com) each explain what they count and keep. Following a link from here does not tell them anything about you beyond the fact that you came from thepicnics.org.

Email

If you write to us, we use your email address and message only to reply, and delete them when they are no longer needed. We never add anyone to a mailing list.

Your choices and rights

Since this site keeps no personal information, there is usually nothing for us to show, correct or delete. If you have a question or a request under privacy law, such as GDPR, UK GDPR, PIPEDA or COPPA, write to hello@thepicnics.org and we will answer it.

Changes

If this page changes, the date below changes with it. We will not start collecting personal information from this site without saying so here first.
