Unless otherwise indicated, original written content, educational materials, graphics, illustrations, downloads, characters, and other original content appearing on this website are protected by applicable copyright laws.

No copyrighted material from this website may be reproduced, distributed, republished, sold, modified, or used commercially without permission from the copyright owner, except as otherwise permitted by law or by the terms accompanying a particular resource.

Purchasing or downloading material from this website does not transfer copyright ownership.

Trademark Notice

Use of these trademarks without authorization is prohibited where such use would violate applicable trademark law.

The ™ symbol indicates a claim of trademark rights and does not represent federal trademark registration unless otherwise stated.

Educational & SEL Disclaimer

Moody Noodle Books™ resources and activities are provided for educational and social-emotional learning purposes only.

They are designed to encourage reflection, discussion, emotional awareness, communication, and learning. They are not intended to provide medical, psychological, psychiatric, therapeutic, or other professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

These materials are not a substitute for care, evaluation, advice, or treatment from a qualified healthcare or mental health professional.

Parents, guardians, educators, and other responsible adults should use their own judgment when determining whether particular materials are appropriate for an individual child.

If a child is experiencing a medical, mental health, safety, or other emergency, assistance should be sought from an appropriate qualified professional or emergency service.

AI & Chatbot Disclaimer

Certain interactive features available through KAThomas.com use artificial intelligence. These features are provided for educational, informational, creative, and entertainment purposes.

AI-generated responses may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete, unexpected, or inappropriate and should not be treated as professional advice or independently verified factual information.

The chatbots are not therapists, counselors, physicians, mental health professionals, crisis services, or emergency services and should never be used as substitutes for professional care, diagnosis, treatment, or emergency assistance.

Parents, guardians, teachers, and other responsible adults should supervise children's use of child-facing interactive features.

Users should not enter personal, identifying, confidential, or sensitive information into a chatbot. This includes full names, home addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, passwords, school information, financial information, medical information, or other information that could identify an individual.

Interactive AI functionality is provided using third-party technology. Information entered into an AI feature must be transmitted to and processed by the technology providers necessary to generate a response.

Privacy Policy

KAThomas.com respects the privacy of its visitors and seeks to limit unnecessary collection of personal information, particularly in connection with content intended for children and families.

Information You Voluntarily Provide

Visitors may voluntarily provide information when contacting K.A. Thomas, purchasing products, subscribing to communications, or using other website features that request information.

The type of information collected depends upon the particular interaction and may include information such as a name, email address, billing or transaction information, or the contents of a message submitted by the visitor.

Children should not submit personal or sensitive information through this website or its interactive chatbots without the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.

Website Hosting, Cookies & Analytics

KAThomas.com is hosted through Squarespace.

Squarespace and other service providers may process technical information necessary to operate, secure, maintain, and provide the website and its features.

KAThomas.com uses cookie controls that allow visitors to manage their cookie preferences. Non-essential cookies are restricted unless a visitor provides consent through the website's cookie controls. Visitors may accept, decline, or manage non-essential cookies and may change their saved cookie preferences.

Squarespace Activity Log collection has been disabled by the website owner.

Some cookies or similar technologies may nevertheless be necessary for essential website functionality, security, transactions, or services requested by a visitor.

Interactive AI Services

KAThomas.com uses Pickaxe technology to provide certain interactive AI chatbot features.

The website owner's Pickaxe workspace is configured so that user conversation-history collection is disabled. No User Memory instructions have been created for the purpose of building persistent user-memory profiles.

The child-facing interactive features use public/guest access and do not require a visitor to create a Pickaxe member account in order to begin an interaction.

However, third-party technology providers may process technical information required to provide and secure their services, which may include information such as IP addresses, browser or device information, cookies or similar identifiers, usage information, and information submitted to an interactive feature.

Users should therefore avoid submitting personal, identifying, confidential, or sensitive information through interactive AI features.

Children's Privacy

KAThomas.com includes content and educational materials that may be of interest to children, parents, families, and educators.

Protecting children's privacy is important. Children should not provide personal, identifying, or sensitive information through this website or its interactive features without the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to supervise children's use of interactive website features.

If a parent or legal guardian believes that a child has submitted personal information through KAThomas.com or one of its interactive features, the parent or guardian may contact K.A. Thomas using the contact information available on the website.

The privacy practices applicable to child-facing interactive features may be revised as those features, their availability, or the third-party technologies used to provide them are reviewed or changed.

Third-Party Service Providers

KAThomas.com relies on third-party providers to operate various portions of the website and its services, including Squarespace for website hosting and related functionality and Pickaxe for certain interactive AI functionality.

Other service providers may be used for functions such as payment processing, email communications, website functionality, or delivery of digital products.

Third-party providers operate under their own terms, policies, and data practices. Their practices may change independently of KAThomas.com.

Third-Party Links

KAThomas.com may contain links to third-party websites, services, products, or resources.

K.A. Thomas does not control the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of independent third-party websites and services. Visitors should review the applicable policies of third-party services they choose to use.

Privacy Policy Changes

This Privacy Policy may be updated as website features, service providers, business practices, or applicable requirements change.

The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page identifies the most recent revision.
