This privacy policy explains what information The Rooted Parent ("we," "us") collects when you visit therootedparent.store or sign up for our emails, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep it simple: we collect very little, and we never sell your information.
Information we collect
When you sign up for our free sampler or emails
We collect the email address you enter. Our signup form is provided by MailerLite, our email service, which stores your email address and records when and how you signed up. When you open our emails or click links in them, MailerLite may record that activity so we can see which emails are helpful.
When you visit our website
Like most websites, our hosting provider (Hostinger) automatically keeps basic technical logs, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and the date and time of your visit. We use these logs only to keep the site running, secure, and to see general traffic levels.
Website analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how many people visit our website, which pages they view, and how they found us. It doesn't use cookies and doesn't track you across other websites. It collects basic, aggregated information such as page views, the referring website, and your general device type and country.
Fonts
Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts. When you visit, your browser connects to Google's servers to download them, which shares your IP address with Google.
Cookies
Our website itself doesn't set advertising or tracking cookies. Our email provider, MailerLite, may use cookies or similar technologies to provide its signup forms and email services.
How we use your information
- To send the free sampler you requested
- To send occasional emails with parenting tools, tips, and new products, which you can unsubscribe from at any time
- To keep our website working and secure, and to understand which pages are most helpful
- To answer your questions when you contact us
We don't sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we don't share it with anyone except the service providers listed here, who help us run the site and send emails.
Purchases on Etsy
Our printable products are sold through our Etsy shop. When you buy from us on Etsy, your purchase and payment information is handled by Etsy under Etsy's Privacy Policy. We receive the order details Etsy shares with sellers, such as your name and email, so we can fulfill and support your order.
Links to other sites
Our site links to other websites, including Etsy, Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we aren't responsible for how they handle your information.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe: every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. You can use it any time.
- Access or delete your information: email us at support@therootedparent.store and we'll tell you what we have, or delete your email address from our list.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under local law. Contact us and we'll be glad to help.
How long we keep information
We keep your email address while you're subscribed. If you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, we remove it from our active list, though our email provider may keep a record of the unsubscribe so you aren't added again by mistake. Hosting logs are kept only as long as our hosting provider retains them.
Children's privacy
Our website and emails are intended for parents and caregivers. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us their information, please contact us and we'll delete it.
Keeping information secure
We use reputable service providers and secure (HTTPS) connections to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to keep your information safe.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the effective date at the top of this page.
