Privacy Policy

• Include a clear copyright statement on each page (e.g., © 2025 Shay’s Learning Lab. All rights reserved. Do not copy or distribute.).
• Place the notice in a visible but non-intrusive spot — like the bottom corner of each page.

• Add a light, semi-transparent logo or business name as a background watermark on each page. This makes it harder for people to cleanly copy your designs.
• Canva has a way to adjust transparency, so you can create watermarks there if you’re already using it.

• PDF Locking: If you sell digital versions, convert files to PDF and disable printing/editing.
  • Tools like Adobe Acrobat, PDFescape, or Canva’s PDF export settings can help.
• File Stamping: Some platforms (like Gumroad or Etsy) can personalize the PDF with the buyer’s name, deterring them from sharing it around.

• Add your logo, website, and social media handle on the cover and inside pages. If someone shares your work, people will still know where it came from.
• You can also add a friendly reminder like:
  "Thank you for supporting small businesses! Please don’t share or copy this work — it helps me create more fun, educational materials for kids."

• Create a page in the binder or at the beginning of your digital file that outlines what buyers can and can’t do with your product (e.g., "Personal use only. Not for resale, reproduction, or redistribution").

• Registering a Copyright: In the U.S., your work is automatically copyrighted when you create it, but official registration with the U.S. Copyright Office gives stronger legal backing if you ever need to take action against a copier.
• Trademark your business name and logo to protect your brand identity.

Would you like me to write a professional yet friendly Terms of Use page or design a copyright notice that fits your brand style?

Can you help with a page on website to tell buyers it’s to be sold or reused etc 

Absolutely! Here’s a polished, clear version of a "Terms of Use" page for your website:

Thank you for supporting Shay’s Learning Lab! I’m passionate about creating fun, educational materials to help little learners grow — and I’m excited to share them with you. To protect my work and keep creating more resources, please read and follow the guidelines below:

• Personal Use Only: You’re welcome to use these materials at home with your child, in your classroom, or for homeschool purposes.
• Gift It: You can give a physical copy as a gift — but please don’t share the digital files.
• Enjoy It Forever: Once you’ve purchased a binder, workbook, or digital file, it’s yours to use for your own little learners anytime!

• No Copying or Reselling: Please don’t make copies of my work to sell, share, or redistribute — physically or digitally. This includes uploading it to other websites, sharing files with others, or modifying it for resale.
• No Commercial Use: These products are for personal or classroom use only — not for commercial purposes or profit.
• No Altering Designs: You may not edit, remove my logo, or rebrand the materials as your own.

Every workbook and learning binder is created with love and care. By respecting these terms, you’re helping me continue to create high-quality, affordable resources for parents and teachers like you.

If you have any questions about using my materials, feel free to contact me — I’m happy to help!

Thank you again for supporting my small business!

– Shay, Shay’s Learning Lab

Would you like me to customize this to match your website’s style or write a more playful version to keep it light and friendly for your audience? I can also create a shorter “terms reminder” to put directly on product pages or checkout screens if you want buyers to see it before they buy!

I need a privacy policy 

Got it! Here’s a Privacy Policy tailored for Shay’s Learning Lab. This covers the basics while keeping it clear and professional:

Effective Date: March 2025

At Shay’s Learning Lab, your privacy matters. This

Here’s a complete Privacy Policy page for your website:

Effective Date: March 2025

At Shay’s Learning Lab, I’m committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you visit my website or purchase products.

When you visit Shay’s Learning Lab, I may collect:

• Personal Information: Name, email address, shipping address, payment details, and any other information you provide during checkout or when contacting me.
• Non-Personal Information: IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing activity — collected automatically to improve the website experience.
• Cookies: Small data files to help improve your browsing experience, track website performance, and remember preferences.

Your information helps me:

• Process and fulfill orders
• Send order confirmations, updates, or important service messages
• Respond to inquiries and provide customer support
• Improve products, website, and services
• Send occasional promotions or updates (if you’ve subscribed)

I value your trust and take precautions to secure your data. This includes using secure payment processors and keeping personal details confidential. However, no online platform is 100% secure, so I can’t guarantee absolute security.

I don’t sell or rent your information. I only share data when necessary for:

• Payment processing (e.g., PayPal, Stripe)
• Shipping providers to deliver physical products
• Legal reasons — if required by law or to protect my business

My website may link to other sites (e.g., social media or payment services). I’m not responsible for their privacy practices — be sure to review their policies too.

• Email Subscriptions: You can unsubscribe from marketing emails anytime via the link in the email.
• Cookies: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies — but some website features may not work properly without them.

Shay’s Learning Lab doesn’t knowingly collect data from children under 13. If I discover this has happened, I’ll delete the data promptly.

I may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in services or laws. The latest version will always be posted here, with the effective date at the top.
