Information We Collect

Data you provide: name, email, and your preferences when you subscribe to our newsletter, submit a contact form, leave comments, request downloads, or participate in surveys.

Automatic data: device and browser information, IP address, general location (city/region), referral URL, pages viewed, session duration, and interactions collected via cookies or similar technologies.

User-generated content: comments, reviews, and questions you post. Please avoid sharing sensitive personal or children’s data in public comments.

Payment data: If we sell digital products, payments are processed by third-party providers (e.g., payment gateways). We don’t store full card numbers on our servers.

How We Use Information

• Provide, maintain, and improve Parentinguru.com and personalize content recommendations.
• Send newsletters or updates with your consent (you can unsubscribe anytime).
• Measure performance, fix issues, and prevent fraud or misuse.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

Legal bases (EEA/UK): consent, contract performance, legitimate interests (e.g., site analytics and security), and legal compliance.

Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies, local storage, and pixels to remember preferences, analyze traffic, and, where applicable, show relevant ads. On your first visit, you may see a consent banner that lets you accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies. You can also control cookies in your browser settings.

Advertising, Sponsorships & Affiliate Links

Some pages may include affiliate links. If you click and buy, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We strive to recommend only products we believe add value to parents.

Amazon Associates Disclosure: Parentinguru.com participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by linking to Amazon properties.

If we use ad partners (e.g., contextual or interest-based ads), they may set cookies or use device identifiers. Where required, we will request your consent and provide controls to opt out of targeted advertising.

Analytics & Measurement

We use privacy-focused analytics tools to understand which content helps parents the most, and to improve site performance. These tools typically collect pseudonymous usage data (e.g., page views, approximate location). Where required, we obtain consent.

How We Share Information

• Service providers (processors): hosting, analytics, email delivery, content management, security, payment processing.
• Legal & safety: to comply with law, enforce terms, or protect rights and safety.
• Business transfers: if we undergo a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, data may transfer under the same privacy protections.

We do not sell your personal information. For jurisdictions that use “share” for cross-context behavioral advertising, you can opt out via the links or settings we provide where applicable.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards (e.g., HTTPS, access controls). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information continuously.

Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described or as required by law. When no longer necessary, we delete or de-identify data according to our retention policy.

Your Privacy Rights

Your rights vary by location but may include:

• Access, correction, deletion: request a copy of your data, correct inaccuracies, or ask us to delete it.
• Portability: receive your data in a portable format where applicable.
• Consent choices: withdraw consent (e.g., email marketing, non-essential cookies) at any time.
• Opt out of targeted ads: use our cookie banner/settings or device options where available.
• Limit use of sensitive data: where applicable, you may request limitations on processing.
• Appeal: in some regions you can appeal our response to a rights request.

EEA/UK (GDPR): You can object to processing based on legitimate interests and lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

California (CPRA/“Do Not Sell or Share”): California residents may request access/deletion and opt out of “selling” or “sharing” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If provided, use our “Privacy Choices” link.

India (DPDP Act): You can withdraw consent and request correction/erasure. Contact us via the details below to exercise these rights.

To make a request, email privacy@parentinguru.com. We may need to verify your identity.

Children’s Privacy

Parentinguru.com is designed for adults and caregivers, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 (or the age defined by your local law). If you believe a child provided personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

International Data Transfers

We may store or process data in countries other than where you live. When we transfer personal data, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., contractual clauses) consistent with applicable law.

Do Not Track, Global Privacy Control & Signals

Your browser or extensions may send signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC). Where legally required and technically feasible, we honor such signals for opt-out of sale/share or targeted advertising.

AI-Assisted Content

We may use AI tools to assist in drafting or improving articles. All parenting guidance is reviewed by our editorial team before publication. Do not share sensitive personal or children’s health data in forms or comments.

Third-Party Links

Our content may link to third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. Please review those policies, especially before providing personal information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the “Effective” date and, when appropriate, notify you via the site or email.
