Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains what information TheLearnDen (“we”) collects when you use thelearnden.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. TheLearnDen is a free UK learning-resource directory operated from the United Kingdom. For any privacy matter, use the editorial contact page.

Children’s privacy

TheLearnDen does not ask children for names, email addresses, school details or accounts. Resource feedback is stored without raw IP addresses, browser fingerprints or advertising identifiers.

What we collect and store

We keep aggregate events such as topic views, searches and resource opens, plus private feedback linked to internal identifiers. To protect children’s privacy, feedback is currently limited to quick choices. Written comments will be added only after our data-safety review is complete.

Operational records are retained only as long as needed for link quality, safeguarding and service reliability.

Cookies and local storage

TheLearnDen sets no advertising or tracking cookies. Site settings and anonymous feedback tokens are kept in your browser’s local storage, on your own device. Our traffic statistics use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookie-free and does not profile visitors.

Third-party services

Cloudflare hosts the site and provides its cookie-free analytics. If an adult chooses to contribute, Stripe handles the payment under its own privacy policy and terms; TheLearnDen does not receive or store card details. If you subscribe to our email digest, Substack stores your email address to deliver it, and every email includes an unsubscribe link. Links on TheLearnDen open independent external websites with their own privacy policies.

Your rights and choices

Use Remove my feedback beside a resource to delete that vote, or clear all TheLearnDen data from this device. Aggregate counts contain no user identifier and cannot be linked back to a person.

Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR) you can ask to access, correct or delete personal information we hold. For any privacy request, use the editorial contact and do not include a child’s name, school or other unnecessary personal information. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
