Introduction
Valley Daycare Sites ("we," "us," or "our") operates valleydaycaresites.com and provides professional website design and maintenance services for daycare and childcare businesses. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website or use our services.
Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Direct contact. When you call, text, or email us, we collect the information you choose to share — such as your name, phone number, email address, and details about your daycare business.
- Website visits. When you visit our website, your browser automatically sends certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and the pages you visit. This is standard web server log data.
- Client information. When you become a client, we collect business information necessary to build and maintain your website, including your daycare's name, address, phone number, program details, staff information, photos, licensing information, and other content you provide.
How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to:
- Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
- Design, build, and maintain client websites
- Communicate about our services, updates, or your account
- Improve our website and services
- Comply with legal obligations
Cookies and Tracking
Our website uses minimal, first-party cookies necessary for basic site functionality. We do not currently use third-party analytics, advertising pixels, or marketing tracking tools. If we add tracking technologies in the future, we will update this policy and provide a clear consent mechanism before any non-essential tracking begins.
Third-Party Services
Our website may link to third-party services or websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before sharing any personal information.
Data Retention
We retain client information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Non-client inquiry information is retained for a reasonable period to respond to follow-up questions, then securely deleted. You may request deletion of your information at any time by contacting us.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your personal information
- Opt out of any marketing communications
- Withdraw consent where applicable
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below.
California Privacy Rights
Because Valley Daycare Sites operates in California, California residents have specific privacy rights under state law. This section explains those rights in plain English.
Your California Privacy Rights — Details
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect. You may request a summary of the categories of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, the business purpose for collecting it, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
- Request deletion. You may ask us to delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions (such as information we need to retain to provide our services or comply with legal obligations).
- Request correction. You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
- Opt out of the sale of your information. We do not sell personal information. You will never need to exercise this right with us, but we want you to know it explicitly.
Data Categories We Collect
For transparency, here are the specific categories of personal information our site may collect:
- Contact information — Your name, email address, and phone number when you submit our contact form, call, text, or email us
- Business information — Your daycare name, address, program details, and other content you provide when you become a client
- Message content — The content of messages you submit through our contact form or email correspondence
- Device and technical information — IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited (standard web server log data)
We do not collect Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, financial account numbers, or precise geolocation data through our website.
How to Submit a California Privacy Request
To exercise any of your California privacy rights, you may contact us through any of the following methods:
- Contact form — Submit a request through the contact form on our website
- Email — Send a request to contact@valleydaycaresites.com
- Phone or text — Call or text (747) 315-8215
We will respond to verified requests within 30 days. If we need more time, we will let you know and may take up to an additional 30 days. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
Children's Privacy
Our website is directed at daycare business owners, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a child, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
Child Image Protection
We take the privacy and safety of children seriously. Images of children displayed on our website or on client websites we build are provided by the daycare with the understanding that proper media release permissions have been obtained from parents or legal guardians. If you are a parent or guardian and have concerns about an image of a child appearing on any website we maintain, please contact us immediately and we will address the concern promptly. Daycare operators are solely responsible for maintaining proper media release permissions for any images they provide.
Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
