Third-Party Websites and Links
Our Site may link to external platforms (e.g., author websites, social media, or payment gateways). We’re not responsible for their privacy practices, so review their policies before sharing information. Posting on public forums or social media via our Site may make your data visible to others—we can’t control how it’s used beyond our Services.
Children’s Privacy
At AGPH Books, we proudly offer books for young learners, including titles for pre-nursery, nursery, LKG, and UKG readers. While our Services are designed to appeal to customers of all ages, including parents, guardians, or educators purchasing books for children, we are committed to protecting the privacy of young users.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 (or 16, depending on applicable law) without verifiable parental consent. If a child under 13 attempts to create an account, place an order, or otherwise provide personal information (e.g., name, email, or address) through our Site, we require an adult—such as a parent or guardian—to complete the transaction or interaction on their behalf.
Purchases for Children: When you buy books for pre-nursery, nursery, LKG, or UKG readers, the personal information we collect (e.g., shipping address, payment details) pertains to the adult making the purchase, not the child.
Parental Oversight: If you’re a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately at to request its deletion.
Educational Use: Teachers or schools ordering books for young students should provide their own contact and payment details, not those of the children.
Security and Retention
We use industry-standard measures (e.g., encryption, secure servers) to protect your data, but no system is 100% secure. Information sent to us online may not be secure in transit—avoid sending sensitive details via unsecured channels.
We retain your data only as long as needed to:
- Maintain your account.
- Fulfill orders and provide Services.
- Comply with legal obligations (e.g., tax records).
- Resolve disputes or enforce agreements.
- After this, we securely delete or anonymize it.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have these rights over your personal information:
- Access/Know: Request details about what data we hold and how we use/share it.
- Delete: Ask us to remove your personal information.
- Correct: Request updates to inaccurate data.
- Portability: Get a copy of your data or have it sent to another entity.
- Restrict Processing: Limit how we use your data.
- Withdraw Consent: Revoke consent for certain uses (e.g., marketing emails).
- Appeal: Challenge our refusal to honor a request.
- Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from promotional emails via the link in each message (non-promotional emails, like order updates, will continue).
To exercise these rights, email us at or use account tools on our Site. We’ll verify your identity (e.g., via email or account details) before responding. Authorized agents can act on your behalf with proof of authorization. We won’t discriminate against you for exercising your rights and will reply within legal timelines.
