Important: This page describes the Site’s current publicly visible forms and analytics setup. If a plugin, email service, advertising tool, or consent platform changes, this policy should be updated to match.

For privacy questions, requests, or concerns, contact: virginia@greatmomentsinparenting.com.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide
You may choose to provide personal information when you use a Site feature, including:
- Contact forms: your name, email address, subject, and message.
- Email updates: your first name and email address when you subscribe through the Site’s newsletter form.
- Correspondence: information you include when you email or otherwise communicate with us.

Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, the Site and its service providers may automatically receive limited technical and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, approximate timing, and interactions with the Site. This information is commonly collected through server logs, cookies, caching systems, and analytics tools.
3. How we use information
We may use information to:
- respond to questions, messages, and requests;
- send email updates when you have subscribed to them;
- operate, maintain, improve, and personalize the Site;
- understand which content is useful and how visitors use the Site;
- protect the Site from spam, abuse, fraud, and security threats; and
- meet legal, regulatory, or record-keeping obligations.
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, processing may be based on your consent, our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Site, your request for us to respond, or a legal obligation. You can withdraw consent for email updates by using the unsubscribe option in an email or contacting us.
6. Your choices and privacy rights
Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of personal information we hold about you. You may also have the right to object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent, or opt out of certain forms of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising where applicable.
To make a request, email virginia@greatmomentsinparenting.com with the subject “Privacy Request.” We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law.
If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you may also have rights to complain to your local data-protection authority. If you are a California resident and California privacy law applies to the Site or its processing, you may have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including rights to know, correct, delete, and opt out of certain sale or sharing activities.
7. Retention and security
We keep contact messages for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain correspondence, resolve issues, and keep appropriate business or legal records. Newsletter information is kept while you remain subscribed, or longer only when reasonably necessary for suppression, compliance, or record-keeping purposes. Analytics and technical log retention may be controlled by the relevant service provider and account settings.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children’s privacy
The Site is intended for parents, caregivers, and other adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
9. External links and embedded content
Articles may link to websites, products, services, or resources operated by other parties. Those websites have their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or practices. If the Site later includes embedded content such as video, social posts, maps, or other third-party features, that content may cause the third party to receive information about your visit.
10. Updates and contact
We may update this Privacy Policy when the Site, its tools, or applicable requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when the current version was prepared. If you have a question about this policy or want to make a privacy request, email virginia@greatmomentsinparenting.com.
