When you contact us, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, reason for contacting us, budget information if supplied, and message. Please do not submit sensitive personal information or identifiable student information through our forms.
Information collected through website technology. Our Site uses cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies. These tools may collect information such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, pages visited, referring pages, approximate location derived from an IP address, and interactions with content or advertisements. The information collected depends on the technology, your browser, and your choices.
3. How information is used and shared
We use information to provide and maintain the Site, respond to inquiries, deliver requested newsletters and resources, understand which content readers find useful, improve the Site, measure and deliver advertising, and protect the Site against misuse.
Website operation, hosting, analytics, communication, and advertising providers may process information in connection with those services. Advertising and analytics providers may also process information under their own privacy policies. We may disclose information when required by law or valid legal process, or where necessary to protect our rights, the Site, or others.
4. Analytics and other website services
Google Analytics helps us understand visits to the Site and how readers interact with content. It uses cookies and similar technologies to provide usage reports. Learn how Google uses information at https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Google offers an Analytics opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on does not control other services on the Site.
The Site also uses Jetpack/Automattic services, including website statistics and image delivery. Information about Automattic’s handling of visitor information is available at https://automattic.com/privacy-notice/.
The Site includes Meta advertising technology, including the Meta Pixel, to measure visits and advertising performance and support advertising. Meta may associate information with other information it holds about you. For Meta’s practices and available controls, see https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/ and your Meta advertising preferences.
5. Advertising.
CMI Marketing, Inc., d/b/a Raptive (“Raptive”) is a service provider of this Site for the purposes of placing advertising on the Site, and Raptive will collect and use certain data for advertising purposes.

6. Cookies and advertising choices
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some Site features and does not necessarily stop all data collection, including server-side processing.
When Raptive advertising is active, eligible visitors can use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link and any applicable consent controls provided for Raptive ads. These controls relate to Raptive advertising; they should not be assumed to control every other tool on the Site. Opting out of personalized advertising does not necessarily stop advertisements from appearing.
Certain advertising disclosures or uses of information may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” under applicable privacy laws, even where no money is exchanged for the information. To request an opt-out or ask about privacy choices, contact kindersmorgie@gmail.com. Browser-based choices may need to be made separately for each browser or device.
7. Email choices
You can unsubscribe from promotional emails using the unsubscribe link in those emails or by contacting us. We may still respond to your inquiries or send non-promotional communications that you request.
8. Linked sites and third-party content
The Site links to our store, other services, and third-party websites. Those services may collect information under their own policies. If a page displays content supplied by another provider, that provider may receive information about your visit. Review the relevant provider’s privacy policy before interacting with its services.
9. Retention and security
How long information is retained depends on the purpose for which it was collected, whether it is needed to provide services or respond to an inquiry, applicable legal obligations, and the need to resolve disputes or enforce policies. You can request deletion using the contact information below, subject to applicable exceptions.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Please do not send passwords, payment-card details, or other sensitive information through ordinary email or contact forms.
10. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights to access or know about your personal information, obtain a copy, correct it, request deletion, and opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising. You may also have rights to object to or restrict processing, withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, and appeal a decision about a privacy request.
To submit a request or appeal, email kindersmorgie@gmail.com and describe your request. We may need to verify your identity and, where applicable, an authorized agent’s authority. Rights are subject to legal limitations and exceptions. We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights. You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
