Privacy Policy

Picartica is designed for parents, guardians and educators who use printable learning materials with children. This policy explains the information Picartica processes, the services used to operate the website, and how advertising and consent will be handled if Google AdSense is enabled.

Account information

Picartica accounts are intended for parents and guardians, not children. If you create an account, Picartica processes your email address and optional parent display name through Supabase authentication. Passwords are handled by the authentication provider and are not stored by Picartica in plaintext.

Child profile

A parent or guardian may optionally save a child’s first name or nickname, age, date of birth and grade or class to support relevant worksheet suggestions. Full date of birth is optional. Please provide only the minimum information you are comfortable storing. Picartica does not ask a child to create an account or directly provide personal information.

Bookmarks, activity and local storage

Guest bookmarks and some session or preference information may be stored locally in your browser. Signed-in users can sync bookmarks and lightweight worksheet activity such as recently viewed items, download time and paper-size preference across devices. Authentication also relies on browser storage needed to keep a signed-in session working.

Purchases and payments

When paid collections are available, Picartica may store purchase email, product, amount, currency, payment status and payment-provider identifiers needed to fulfil and support orders. Razorpay handles payment credentials such as card, UPI or banking details; Picartica does not store those payment credentials. Paid files are delivered from private storage using time-limited access links.

Google AdSense and third-party advertising

Picartica may use Google AdSense to support free website content. AdSense is not required for the downloadable worksheet files themselves, and advertising is not placed inside Picartica PDFs or printable worksheet pages.

If AdSense is enabled, Google and other advertising vendors participating in Google’s advertising systems may receive or process technical information needed to request, deliver, secure, measure and report ads. Depending on the user, region, consent state and applicable law, this can include IP address, browser or device information, page context, coarse location derived from an IP address, cookies, local storage, advertising identifiers where applicable, and information about interactions with ads.

Picartica’s child-facing worksheet and browsing areas are designed to request child-restricted, contextual or non-personalized advertising treatment rather than behavioural or interest-based advertising. Picartica does not intentionally use remarketing or interest-based advertising on child-directed areas.

Personalized advertising may only be considered on a genuinely general-audience area if it is legally permitted, appropriate for that area, and supported by the user’s consent choices. Picartica’s current prepared ad placements are configured conservatively to disable personalization.

Cookies and similar technologies

Picartica uses browser storage and similar technologies for necessary functions such as authentication, bookmarks, security and preferences. If advertising is enabled, Google and participating third-party vendors may also use cookies or similar technologies for ad delivery, frequency control, fraud prevention, aggregated reporting and, where permitted, personalization.

Non-personalized ads do not use a person’s past behaviour to choose the ad, but advertising providers may still need limited cookies, identifiers or technical data for functions such as frequency capping, security and aggregated reporting. Where the law requires consent for those technologies, Picartica will request that consent before making the applicable ad request.

Consent and advertising preferences

Picartica is prepared to use a Google-certified consent management platform through Google Privacy & messaging. Where required, visitors will be able to make choices about advertising storage and related processing and later revisit those choices. Advertising and analytics consent categories are handled separately; Picartica does not treat consent to one category as consent to another.

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Picartica will use the applicable Google consent framework before requesting advertising that requires consent. If the required consent is not available, Picartica’s ad loader is designed to leave the page ad-free rather than issue the prepared ad request.

Children’s privacy and child-directed areas

Worksheet content is primarily intended to be used by young children with a parent, guardian or educator. Accounts, purchases and account-management features are intended for adults. Picartica separates those contexts in its advertising architecture: ads are excluded from login, signup, profile, checkout, payment, order-history and other sensitive account-management screens, and no web advertising is inserted into downloadable PDFs or worksheet question areas.

Where an eligible web page may be child-directed, Picartica is prepared to send Google’s age-treatment signal and disable ad personalization for the request. Google’s tools do not replace Picartica’s legal obligations, so these settings are reviewed alongside applicable children’s privacy requirements such as COPPA, GDPR-related protections for children and other local laws.

Analytics

Picartica uses a lightweight first-party event helper to support product analytics. The current helper records interface events for Picartica’s own page scripts and does not by itself add a separate third-party analytics service. If an external analytics service is enabled later, Picartica will apply any consent requirements separately from advertising consent.

Service providers

Picartica uses Cloudflare for hosting, delivery and security; Supabase for authentication, database functions and private storage; Razorpay for payment processing when paid checkout is active; and Resend or another configured transactional email service for account-related emails. These providers process information only as needed to provide their respective services and under their own applicable terms and privacy notices.

International users

Picartica can be accessed from different countries. Privacy, cookie, advertising and children’s rules vary by location. We apply regional consent controls where required and may restrict advertising or particular processing when local requirements call for a more protective treatment.

Google privacy resources

Google explains how it uses information from sites and apps that use its services in its Privacy Policy and Advertising technologies information. Where available, users can also review advertising controls through My Ad Center.

Deletion and retention

You can delete your Picartica profile from Settings when account services are enabled. Profile, child profile, bookmarks, activity and authentication account are removed through that workflow. Limited transaction and accounting records may be retained where required for legal, tax, fraud-prevention or payment-dispute purposes.
