Privacy Policy

Who we are

Lantern Learn is an independent educational publisher of free online courses for kids and the umbrella for two imprints: Fox & Fern and Rocket & Raven. This policy covers lanternlearn.com only. Each imprint operates its own site with its own policy, and the course platform has its own privacy policy.

What we collect

We collect very little. Visiting a page on lanternlearn.com sends standard web request information (your IP address, browser type, the page you requested) to our hosting provider, which we use to keep the site online and protect it from abuse.

We also use Google Analytics 4, Cloudflare Web Analytics and Metricool to understand which pages get visited and where visitors come from, in aggregate. See the Cookies and Third parties sections below.

We do not collect personal information unless you choose to give it to us, for example by typing your email into our new-course alert form to be notified when a new course goes live. The form opens your own email app with a note to [email protected], and nothing is sent until you press send. We keep the addresses we receive in our own mailbox and use them only to send you the new-course alerts you asked for: no marketing sequences, and we never sell or share them. Email us any time and we'll remove you.

Cookies

Besides essential cookies needed for the site to function, this site uses Google Analytics 4, which sets cookies to measure how visitors use the site (pages viewed, rough location, device type). We use this aggregate data to understand which pages are useful. Metricool runs a small script that counts page visits and referring sites so we can see which of our social posts bring people here. Cloudflare Web Analytics counts page views without cookies. Google Analytics only sets its cookies, and Metricool only runs, after you choose “Allow analytics” in our cookie banner; until then Google Analytics runs without cookies. You can change your choice any time with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page. We do not run third-party advertising on this site. You can also block analytics cookies with your browser settings or an extension like Google's opt-out add-on, and the site works fine without them.

Children's privacy

Our courses are designed for children, but this site is intended for the parents, teachers, and caregivers who choose them. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it.

Third parties

A few third parties help us run this site:

• Cloudflare hosts and protects this site and provides Cloudflare Web Analytics (cookie-free page counts).
• Google provides Google Analytics 4 (usage measurement, see Cookies above) and the web fonts this site loads. Google's processing is governed by Google's privacy policy.
• Metricool measures visits and referring sites (see Cookies above). Its processing is governed by Metricool's privacy policy.
• Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest host our public profiles (linked from our footer). Visiting them is governed by each network's own policy.
• Our imprints, Fox & Fern and Rocket & Raven, are part of this site and covered by this policy. Their old addresses (foxandfernbooks.com and rocketandraven.com) redirect here.

Your choices

You can browse lanternlearn.com without giving us any personal information. If you've given us your email for new-course alerts and want to be removed, email us at [email protected] and we'll take you off the list.
