Notice to European Union Users
Madeleine Illustrated's operations are located primarily in the United States. If you provide

the United States. (The adequacy decision on the EU-US Privacy became operational on August 1,
2016. This framework protects the fundamental rights of anyone in the EU whose personal data is
transferred to the United States for commercial purposes. It allows the free transfer of data to
companies that are certified in the US under the Privacy Shield.) By providing personal information

​
Security
Madeleine Illustrated takes precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive
information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. Wherever we
collect sensitive information (e.g. credit card information), that information is encrypted and
transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address
bar and looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the webpage.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your
information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for
example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
The computers and servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a
secure environment. This is all done to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure
or modification of the user's personal information under our control.
The company also uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for authentication and private communications to
build users' trust and confidence in the internet and website use by providing simple and secure
access and communication of credit card and personal information. In addition, Madeleine
Illustrated is a licensee of TRUSTe. The website is also secured by VeriSign.

If you answered "yes" to the question Does your website comply with the General Data Protection
Regulation ("GDPR")? then the Privacy Policy above includes language that is meant to account for
such compliance.
Nevertheless, in order to be fully compliant with GDPR regulations your company must fulfill other
requirements such as: (i) doing an assessment of data processing activities to improve security;
(ii) have a data processing
agreement with any third party vendors; (iii) appoint a data protection officer for the company to
monitor GDPR compliance; (iv) designate a representative based in the EU under certain
circumstances; and (v) have a protocol in place to handle a potential data breach. For more details

responsible for determining whether or not your company is in fact compliant with GDPR and takes no
responsibility for the use you make of this Privacy Policy or for any potential liability your
company may face in relation to any GDPR compliance issues.
COPPA Compliance Disclosure:
This Privacy Policy presumes that your website is not directed at children under the age of 13 and
does not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from them or allow others to do the
same through your site. If this is not true for your website or online service and you do collect
such information (or allow others to do so), please be aware that you must be compliant with all
COPPA regulations and guidelines in order to avoid violations which could lead to law enforcement
actions, including civil penalties.
In order to be fully compliant with COPPA your website or online service must fulfill other
requirements such as:
(i) posting a privacy policy which describes not only your practices, but also the practices of any
others collecting personal information on your site or service — for example, plug-ins or ad
networks; (ii) include a prominent link to your privacy policy anywhere you collect personal
information from children; (iii) include a description of
parental rights (e.g. that you won't require a child to disclose more information than is
reasonably necessary, that they can review their child's personal information, direct you to delete
it, and refuse to allow any further collection or use of the child's information, and the
procedures to exercise their rights); (iv) give parents "direct notice" of your information
practices before collecting information from their children; and (v) obtain the parents'
"verifiable consent" before collecting, using or disclosing personal information from a child. For
more information on the definition of these terms and how to make sure your website or online
service is fully

company may face in relation to any
COPPA compliance issues.
