Kreate Happiness does not intentionally seek unnecessary personal information from children.

The website may use cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics tools, and similar technologies for website functionality, security, performance, understanding website usage, improving the user experience, and analytics.

Third party technologies may operate under their own privacy policies.

Kreate Happiness uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. Website submissions and contribution records are stored in an access controlled database, and only authorized administrators who sign in securely can view them.

However, no electronic storage system or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information through ordinary website forms.

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for:

• The purpose for which it was collected

• Administrative recordkeeping
• Legal obligations

• Legitimate operational purposes

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, it may be deleted or securely disposed of when appropriate.

The website may contain links to third party websites and services.

Kreate Happiness does not control the privacy practices of external websites.

Users should review the privacy policies of third party services before submitting information to them.

Depending on applicable law, individuals may have rights regarding their personal information, which may include:

• Requesting access
• Requesting correction
• Requesting deletion
• Requesting information regarding processing
• Withdrawing consent where applicable

Requests may be subject to applicable legal, security, recordkeeping, and operational limitations.

Because Kreate Happiness may operate inside private residences, information encountered during a project may be personal or sensitive.

Kreate Happiness may update this Privacy Policy as:

• The initiative develops
• Website functionality changes
• Technology changes
• Legal requirements change
• Organizational structure changes

The updated policy will be posted with a revised effective date.
