A clean and minimalistic cartoon-style privacy policy banner featuring small, friendly characters working together to ensure data safety over the internet. The design includes a few cheerful characters interacting with a large lock, a shield, and a simplified data cloud. The scene should use soft, inviting colors like light blue, green, and yellow, with plenty of white space to keep the layout uncluttered. The style should be modern, fun, and approachable, with no text or unnecessary elements.
