Privacy
Last updated October 16, 2026
This site belongs to Khalique Story House, the publisher of the Zayn & Zoya books. This page explains the little we collect and what happens to it.
Who this site is for
This site is for parents and other adults. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you think a child has given us their email address, write to hello@zaynandzoya.com and we will delete it.
What we collect
An email address, and only if you type it into one of our sign-up forms — for a Free Printable Pack, for example. That is all most of those forms ask for.
The forms for our free printables (the Little Explorer Passport) ask for a little more: a first name, so we can say hello properly, and — all optional — whether you are a parent, grandparent or teacher, your children’s ages, and your city and state. We use those answers to make printables for the right ages and to understand where our readers are.
Our advance reader form asks for a first name too, and — both optional — whether you are a parent, teacher, librarian or reviewer, and where you post reviews if you post them.
We never ask for a street address, a phone number, or your children’s names.
Our email service also records when you signed up and confirmed and, as most email services do, whether our emails are opened and which links are clicked.
What we use it for
To send you what you signed up for — a Free Printable Pack, or an advance copy of a book — along with a few short emails about reading with young children and about our books, and news when there is a new Zayn & Zoya book. That is all the list is for. We never sell or rent your address. Kit, our email service, stores it and sends our emails for us.
Who handles it
Our mailing list is run by Kit (Kit, Inc., in the United States), which stores the list and sends the emails for us.
The website is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, it processes technical information such as IP addresses to deliver pages and keep the site safe. The site sets no cookies and uses no advertising trackers. To see which pages are read, it uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies and without identifying you. We also count, by day, how many times some links and downloads are used; those counts hold no IP address and nothing else that identifies you.
The pages where you download a pack have buttons for sharing the free Little Explorer Passport. Those links carry a short random code, so we can count how often shared links are opened and how many friends sign up through them. The code is made at random and says nothing about you: not your name, not your email address. If a friend signs up through your link, the code is saved with their sign-up, and nothing else about you is.
You can also ask us to email a friend an invite. We send them one email with the link and nothing more: we don’t add them to our mailing list, and we never email them again unless they sign up themselves. The two first names go into that one email and are not kept. To make sure nobody gets a second invite, and so the “Never email me” link in it keeps working, we keep a scrambled code made from their address with a secret key, never the address itself. To stop misuse, we count invites per day with scrambled codes made from the page and your internet address, and delete those counts after a day.
On our Facebook Page and Instagram
On the Zayn & Zoya Facebook Page and Instagram, some replies to comments are automated. They are short and friendly, and a person reads the comments too.
To answer comments, an automated assistant reads them; we keep the text for up to 30 days, then delete it.
On some posts we say that commenting will get you our free printables. If you comment on one of those, we send you one automated private message with the link to them. Just the one: no follow-ups, and no list you are added to.
To make sure nobody gets that message twice, we keep three things: your Facebook or Instagram user ID (the number the platform gives your account), the ID of your comment, and the time we sent the message. We use them for nothing else, and we delete them after 12 months.
We never ask for or store information about your children there either: no names, ages, photos or schools.
To have this deleted sooner, see deleting your data, or email hello@zaynandzoya.com.
Unsubscribing and deleting your address
Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click takes you off the list. If you would like your address deleted entirely, email hello@zaynandzoya.com and we will remove it. There is more on that on our data deletion page.
