Captain Smiley School visits Menu

Privacy

Your inquiry, handled with care.

The school-visit form is for adults organizing visits. Please do not include students’ names, contact details or other personal information about children. It is not a newsletter signup.

What the form asks for

Your name, email address, school or organization, and city or region help Kerry discuss a possible visit. Timing, audience and your message are optional. Kerry discusses speaking arrangements individually; sending the form does not reserve a date.

Where your inquiry goes

When you send the form, the website checks it and hands it to Resend, an email delivery service, which emails it to Kerry at [email protected]. Kerry replies to you directly. The website keeps no copy of your inquiry and has no database. Resend and Kerry’s mailbox keep their own copies under their own policies.

If a send is retried, for example after a dropped connection, it is matched to the first attempt for up to 24 hours by a coded reference, so Kerry receives it only once. No copy is sent to your address.

Keeping the forms free of spam

The forms use a hidden field and a short-lived, signed form session to stop automated sending. They may also show Cloudflare Turnstile, a quick check that runs in your browser. Your internet address is used for a few minutes to limit repeated attempts and is not stored.

Updates signup

Updates are for adults. When you sign up, your email address goes to Brevo, the email service that sends Captain Smiley updates. Brevo emails you a link, and you join the list only after you confirm. Every update includes a way to unsubscribe. We ask only for your email address and your permission, never anything about children.

The signup also records which kind of news you asked for (general updates, Book Two, the journal or the book-and-frisbee bundle’s return), so you hear about what you chose. Signing up for another kind adds it; it never removes what you chose before.

Ordering a book

Book orders are paid through Stripe, the payment service used by Kerry’s company, KNKP LLC. Your name, delivery address, email and payment details go to Stripe, not to this website, and are handled under Stripe’s privacy policy (opens a new tab). Kerry uses them to send your order. See shipping, returns and contact.

Hosting, cookies and analytics

The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which handles basic request information, such as your internet address, to deliver pages and protect the site. The site sets no advertising cookies and uses no analytics.

The films on Watch & Listen play through YouTube’s privacy-enhanced player. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press Play. When you do, YouTube, a Google service, receives your internet address and may store information in your browser, as described in Google’s privacy policy (opens a new tab).
