Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 21, 2026
Family Tips Daily (“we”, “our”, “the site”) is committed to protecting the privacy of every parent, caregiver, and visitor who stops by familytipsdaily.com. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how it’s used, and the rights you have under United States federal law and the privacy statutes of your state — including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, and similar laws in Colorado, Connecticut, and beyond.
Who We Are
The site is operated by Sarah Miller, publishing as Family Tips Daily from Austin, Texas. Privacy-related questions can be sent to contact@familytipsdaily.com.
What We Collect
- Information you give us directly — your name, email, and message content when you fill out the contact form, subscribe to our newsletter, or leave a comment.
- Information collected automatically — IP address, rough geographic location (state or city level), browser and device information, referring URL, the pages you view, and time spent on each page. This is standard web server and analytics data.
Why We Collect It
We use this data to answer your messages, send our weekly newsletter to subscribers, moderate comments, understand which articles help the most parents, protect the site from spam and abuse, and meet our record-keeping obligations.
Children’s Privacy (COPPA)
Family Tips Daily is written for parents, not for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe your child has submitted personal data through the site, please contact us immediately and we’ll delete it.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use a small number of cookies. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working. Analytics cookies (from tools like Google Analytics or a privacy-focused alternative) help us understand how parents use the site. Some embedded content — such as YouTube videos or Pinterest widgets — sets its own cookies. You can disable non-essential cookies via our consent banner or your browser settings.
Third Parties
We share data with a small set of service providers: our cloud infrastructure provider, email delivery platform (for the newsletter), analytics tool, and anti-spam services for comments. Each provider is bound by contractual privacy obligations. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share your email with advertisers or trade it with other blogs.
Advertising & Sponsorships
Some articles are sponsored and always clearly labelled. Sponsoring brands receive anonymised performance reporting — never your personal data.
Data Retention
Contact form messages are kept for up to 24 months. Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe. Aggregated analytics data is retained for up to 26 months before being anonymised or deleted.
Your Rights
Depending on your state of residence, you have the right to: request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, correct inaccuracies, request deletion, opt out of certain processing, opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data (we don’t sell yours, but you can still request formal confirmation), and receive a portable copy of your data. To exercise any of these rights, email contact@familytipsdaily.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line. We aim to respond within 45 days.
Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control
We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals sent by supported browsers as a valid opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal data where applicable.
Security
The site runs on HTTPS, our infrastructure is kept up to date, and access to the back end is limited to essential accounts with strong authentication. While no system is completely immune from attack, we take reasonable, industry-standard steps to protect your data.
International Visitors
Family Tips Daily is a US-based publication. If you access the site from outside the United States, please be aware that your data may be processed in the US, where privacy laws differ from those in your home country.
Policy Updates
We’ll post any material change to this page and, where appropriate, notify newsletter subscribers. The “Last updated” date at the top will always reflect the most recent revision.
