Privacy Policy

At MomWithATube.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”), your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Who we are:
Website: MomWithATube.com
Contact: info@momwithatube.com

What information we collect

Information you provide voluntarily
We may collect information you choose to share, such as:

• Your name and email address (for email subscriptions, contact forms, or comments)
• Any message content you send through a form or email
• Any information you include in a comment (including optional website links)

Information we collect automatically
Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain data, including:

• IP address (or a shortened/anonymized version if enabled by a service)
• Browser type, device type, operating system
• Pages viewed, time spent on pages, referring website
• Approximate location (city/state level), language settings
  This data is generally collected through cookies and similar technologies.

How we use your information
We use information we collect to:

• Operate and maintain the website
• Respond to messages you send
• Send newsletters or updates if you subscribe (you can unsubscribe anytime)
• Understand website traffic and improve content
• Help prevent spam, abuse, and security issues
• Comply with legal obligations when required

Cookies and tracking technologies
MomWithATube.com may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Remember your preferences
• Enable site functionality
• Measure traffic and performance
• Support embedded content (like videos or social posts)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some site features may not work as intended.

Email subscriptions
If you sign up for emails, we collect your name (if provided) and email address to send updates. Every email will include an unsubscribe link.
We do not sell your email address.

Email delivery may be handled by a third-party provider (for example, Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or a similar platform). That provider may process your data according to their own privacy policy.

Comments
If you leave a comment, we may collect the data shown in the comments form, plus your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

If the site uses Gravatar, an anonymized string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you use it. Gravatar’s privacy policy applies to that service.

Analytics
We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar) to understand how visitors use the website. These tools may collect information like pages visited, time on site, and general device data via cookies or similar technologies.

If you prefer not to be tracked, you can use browser settings, cookie consent tools (if enabled), or browser add-ons that limit tracking.

Advertising and affiliate links
MomWithATube.com may include:

• Affiliate links (meaning we may earn a small commission if you purchase through a link, at no extra cost to you)
• Ads (from ad networks, if enabled)

Third-party advertisers and affiliate platforms may use cookies or tracking links to measure performance and conversions. They handle that data according to their own privacy policies.

We aim to clearly disclose affiliate relationships where they appear.

Embedded content from other websites
Posts on this site may include embedded content (for example, YouTube videos, Instagram posts, TikToks, etc.). Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the other website directly.

Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with embedded content… especially if you’re logged into that platform.

How we share your information
We do not sell your personal information.

We may share limited data only when needed, such as:

• With service providers that help run the site (hosting, email provider, analytics, spam filtering)
• To comply with legal obligations, enforce site policies, or protect rights and safety
• In connection with a business transfer (rare for a personal blog, but included for completeness)

Data retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described:

• Email subscription data is kept until you unsubscribe
• Comments and their metadata may be retained indefinitely (so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments)
• Analytics data is retained based on the settings of the analytics service used

Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

• Request access to the personal data we have about you
• Request correction or deletion of your personal data
• Withdraw consent for email marketing (unsubscribe anytime)
• Object to or restrict certain processing in some cases

To request changes or deletion, contact: info@momwithatube.com.

Children’s privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will remove it.

Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no website can guarantee complete security. If you suspect a security issue, please contact us.

Medical content disclaimer
Content on MomWithATube.com is for personal storytelling and informational purposes only. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for professional medical care. Always seek guidance from a qualified healthcare provider regarding medical decisions.

Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the most recent version.
