EMPTY HALLS

Last updated November 2026

Privacy note

Short version: the code checker collects nothing, and the help form collects only what we need to answer a parent’s message.

The code checker

The code checker runs entirely in your browser. The code your child types is not sent to us or stored anywhere. We don’t use cookies, ads or tracking on this site.

The help form

The help form is for parents and guardians, not children. When you send it, we receive your email address, your answer to the book check, the code you tried and your message. We use these only to answer your message and, if you answered the book check, to send your Christmas surprise.

We will only add you to our book news list if you tick the separate, optional box. Every news email includes a link to unsubscribe.

Who handles your details

The form is hosted by Netlify, and replies may be sent through an email service. Both may store data outside Canada, including in the United States. We never sell or share your details with anyone else.

How long we keep it

We delete help-form messages within 90 days of answering them. If you joined the news list, we keep your email until you unsubscribe.

Questions or deletion requests

Email [contact email] and we’ll answer or delete your details.
