Privacy Policy.

This page explains what information the Pictures of Magic website collects, how it is used, and what happens when you follow links to other services.

Short version

A simple, parent-friendly policy.

Pictures of Magic is a marketing website for a children's book series by Bastian Wells. It is intended for parents, educators, caregivers, and other adults interested in the books.

The site does not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, retargeting, behavioral profiling, Google Analytics, or similar third-party analytics services.

If you choose to sign up for a newsletter or contact the author, you may voluntarily provide information such as your email address. That information is used for the purpose you requested, such as sending updates or responding to your message.

Website operation

Operational logs.

Like most websites, Pictures of Magic may maintain standard server-side operational logs. These logs may include IP addresses, browser information, request paths, timestamps, and related technical information.

If a visitor arrives through a link that includes campaign or source parameters, such as UTM tags, those parameters may appear in server logs as part of the requested URL.

Operational logs are used solely for security, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and keeping the website working properly. They are not used for advertising, retargeting, or behavioral profiling.

Other services

Third-party links.

The site may link to third-party services such as Amazon, Pinterest, Substack, or similar platforms. If you follow one of those links, your use of that service is governed by that service's own privacy policy and terms.

Newsletter signup forms may be provided through Substack or another email service. Information you submit through those forms is handled by that service as well as by Pictures of Magic for newsletter-related purposes.

Children's privacy

Designed for adults.

Pictures of Magic is intended for parents, educators, and caregivers. The site does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through this website, please contact bastian@picturesofmagic.com so the information can be reviewed and deleted if appropriate.
