Privacy Policy

Last updated 28 September 2026

Mallowin is a small, independent studio. This privacy policy explains exactly what happens if you give us your email address, and what data our Mallowin Pinterest app handles. It is written to be read, not to be skimmed past.

What we collect

Only what the sign-up form asks for, plus a record that you agreed:

• Your email address.
• A record of your consent — the exact wording you agreed to, the version of it, and the date and time.
• Your IP address and browser at the moment you signed up. We keep this only as proof that the consent was genuine, and to stop automated abuse of the form.

We do not ask for your name, your child's name, their age, or anything else. There are no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies on this website.

Why we collect it

To send you a short weekly email when new Mallowin videos are published — a title, a line about each, and a link. Nothing else. We will not sell, rent or share your address with anyone.

Our legal basis is your consent, which you gave by ticking the box. You can withdraw it at any time, and withdrawing it is as easy as giving it.

Where it is stored

On our own hosting, in a file that is not reachable from the public internet. If we later move the list to an email delivery service in order to send the newsletter, we will name that service here before any address is transferred to it.

How long we keep it

Until you ask us to remove it, or until the newsletter stops — whichever comes first. If we ever stop sending it, we delete the list rather than keep it.

Your choices

• Unsubscribe — every email will carry a one-click unsubscribe link.
• See what we hold about you, or have it corrected.
• Have it deleted — ask and it is removed, with no questions and no attempt to talk you out of it.

For any of these, write to office@mallowin.com and we will act on it.

Our Pinterest app

“Mallowin” is also the name of a small app we registered with Pinterest. It is an internal tool used only by Mallowin, on Mallowin's own Pinterest business account. It is not offered to anyone else, and no one else can sign in to it.

• What it does — publishes our own Pins to our own boards, organises those boards, and reads the performance numbers for our own Pins so we can plan what to post next.
• How it connects — through Pinterest's official sign-in (OAuth). We never ask for, see or store a Pinterest password.
• What it can see — only our own account: our boards, our Pins, and Pinterest's aggregate statistics for them (views, saves, clicks). It does not access other people's accounts, boards or Pins, and it does not collect personal information about anyone who views, saves or clicks our Pins.
• Where the access key is kept — encrypted in the password store of our own computer. It is never shared, sold or sent to anyone other than Pinterest.
• What it keeps — nothing. The app does not store any data it reads from Pinterest; it asks Pinterest again each time it needs information. The only thing kept is the access key itself. We can disconnect the app at any time from our Pinterest settings, which ends its access immediately.
• Who uses it — only Mallowin's adult team. The app is not used by, or directed at, children.

Pinterest's own handling of your data is covered by Pinterest's privacy policy.

Children

Mallowin's videos are made for very young children, but this website and its email are for parents and carers. The sign-up is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect anything from them.

Changes

If this page changes in a way that affects what you agreed to, we will ask again rather than assume. The date at the top always shows the current version.
