Effective Date: Jan 1st, 2026
At Bed Ted Books, we are passionate about creating magical stories that inspire children to read, imagine, and explore new adventures. While our books and audiobooks are created especially for young readers, our website is intended for use by parents, guardians, teachers, librarians, and other responsible adults.
The safety and privacy of children are extremely important to us. This page explains our commitment to protecting children when interacting with our website.
Our Commitment to Children’s Safety
Bed Ted Books is dedicated to providing a safe and family-friendly online experience.

Bed Ted Books does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.
We ask that children do not:

Recipients may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in every email.
Safe Browsing
We work to maintain a secure website by implementing appropriate security measures designed to protect our visitors and their information.
While no website can guarantee complete security, we regularly maintain and update our website to help reduce security risks.
Third-Party Services
Our website may contain links to trusted third-party services, including online retailers or social media platforms.
These websites operate independently and have their own privacy and safety practices.

- Discussing safe and responsible online behaviour.
- Monitoring online purchases and subscriptions.
Working together helps create a safe and enjoyable online experience for children.
Educational Content
The stories, audiobooks, and activities available through Bed Ted Books are designed to encourage imagination, creativity, kindness, curiosity, and a lifelong love of reading.
While we hope our books provide educational value and enjoyment, every child develops at their own pace, and we do not guarantee specific educational or developmental outcomes.
Privacy Protection
Our approach to protecting personal information is explained in our Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions about how we collect, use, or protect information, we encourage you to review our Privacy Policy or contact us directly.
Policy Updates
We may update this Children’s Safety & Online Privacy page from time to time to reflect changes in our website, services, or legal requirements.
