Last updated: [Insert Date]

Introduction Breastfed Baby (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website BreastfedBaby.com (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our services related to breastfeeding, pregnancy, lactation, and motherhood content. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data responsibly.

Information We Collect 1. Information You Provide Directly When you sign up for newsletters, submit the contact form, comment on articles, or otherwise communicate with us, you may provide personal data such as your name, email address, phone number, pregnancy or lactation stage, and optional demographic details. You may also provide health-related context (for example questions about breast feeding or lactation challenges) when you seek advice. Please do not send sensitive medical details through public comments.

2. Automatically Collected Information When you use the Service, we and our partners may automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, pages visited, and referring/exit pages. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to understand usage patterns, enhance the user experience, and deliver relevant content.

3. Third-Party Data We may receive information from third-party services you connect with (for example social logins) or analytics providers. If you integrate third-party services into your use of our Service, those services’ privacy practices will apply.

How We Use Information We use collected data for the following purposes: - To operate, maintain, and improve our website and services, including personalization of content related to pregnancy, breastfeeding, lactation, and diet. - To respond to queries and provide support; route specific lactation or medical questions to qualified professionals when requested. - To send newsletters, marketing communications, and updates if you opt-in. You may opt-out at any time. - To analyze trends and usage to make improvements and to measure the effectiveness of our content and features. - To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, abuse, and security incidents.

Legal Bases for Processing (where applicable) If you are in a jurisdiction that requires a legal basis for data processing (for example, GDPR regions), our legal bases include consent, the performance of a contract, legitimate interests (for improving the site and providing secure services), and compliance with legal obligations. For health-related queries provided to us voluntarily, we rely on consent for processing that information.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect usage and device information. Cookies help us personalize content, remember preferences, and measure site performance. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings and any cookie consent tools we provide. Blocking certain cookies may reduce site functionality.

Data Sharing and Disclosure We do not sell personal information. We may share personal data in the following limited circumstances: - Service providers: We use trusted third-party vendors for hosting, analytics, email delivery, and other operational services. These vendors are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for specified purposes. - Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public. - Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal data may be transferred as part of the transaction, subject to protections in this policy.

Data Security We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. While we strive to use commercially reasonable measures, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights and Choices Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data. You may also have the right to object to processing or request data portability. To exercise these rights, please contact us via the contact form. We will respond to legitimate requests in accordance with applicable law.

Retention We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example, we retain contact information to respond to inquiries and maintain records for customer service history.

Children’s Privacy Our Service is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided personal data, we will take steps to delete such data.

Third-Party Links Our site may include links to third-party sites. This Policy does not apply to their collection practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

International Transfers If you are located outside the country where our servers operate, your information may be transferred to, and processed in, the country where our servers and service providers are located. We use safeguards to protect data transferred internationally as required by applicable law.

Changes to This Privacy Policy We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, provide notice of material changes.

How to Contact Us If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us via our site contact form. For urgent medical or personal health matters, consult a qualified healthcare professional; our content is educational and not a substitute for medical advice.

Additional Notes on Health Content Breastfed Baby provides informational content related to pregnancy, breast feeding, and lactation. We strive for accuracy and cite reputable sources, but the information provided is educational. It is not intended to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have concerns about pregnancy, lactation issues, or newborn health, seek care from a qualified healthcare provider or certified lactation consultant.
