Draft v0.1 — pending legal review before public OAuth / payment launch. The content below is accurate to what the site does today. A lawyer-reviewed version will replace this before we open paid memberships at scale.

1. What we collect
When you sign up for the Friday Reading we collect:
- Your email address.
- The number of children you're asking about (1–4).
- For each child: an optional nickname, an age range (10–12 / 13–15 / 16–18), gender, optional tags about your teen's profile, optional tags about your family context, and an optional free-text note (160 characters).
We also collect basic technical information from your browser (IP address, user-agent string, pages viewed) for security and to understand how the site is used. This happens via Cloudflare Web Analytics (cookieless, aggregated) and Microsoft Clarity (session recordings with cookies — opt out below).
2. How we use it
- To write your reading — your teen's age, profile, and family context determine which Friday Reading we write for you.
- To send you emails — the Friday Reading itself, the occasional announcement (e.g., a new free resource).
- To run your membership, if you choose the paid tier — Stripe handles your payment; we never see your card number.
- To improve the site — aggregate analytics tell us which readings land, which trends parents are reading, where the site loads slowly.
3. Who else sees it (subprocessors)
- MailerLite — sends the Friday Reading and stores your subscription record.
- Cloudflare — hosts the site and the API. Cloudflare sees your IP and request data because every page load goes through them.
- Stripe — processes payments if you become a member. Stripe is the only party that sees your card details.
- Microsoft Clarity — session recordings, with cookies. Opt out by clearing the Clarity cookie or contacting us.
We do not sell your data. We do not use it to target ads at you or anyone else. We do not share it with any other party except as required by law.
4. Cookies and tracking
- Cloudflare Web Analytics — no cookies.
- Microsoft Clarity — sets cookies to record sessions.
- mtw_member / mtw_session — set after you sign in or pay; remembers that it's you.
- Local storage (mtw_signup_v1) — your saved questionnaire answers, kept on your device only.
- Meta Pixel — only on the paid-ad landing pages (`/looksmaxxing-guide`, `/newsletter`). Meta uses this to measure ad performance. None on the rest of the site.
5. Children
Our site is for parents to read about their teens, not for teens to use directly. We collect information from parents; we do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. The age range and profile tags about your child are stored as data about a person, not personal data of a person who uses our service.
If you believe a child under 13 has signed up directly through our site, please email [email protected] and we will delete the account.
6. How long we keep it
- If you're an active subscriber or member, we keep your record until you ask us to delete it or until you unsubscribe.
- After unsubscribe, we keep an unsubscribed-status record for 30 days, then delete the personal data and keep only an irreversible hash so we don't accidentally re-add you.
- Aggregate analytics may be retained longer in anonymized form.
7. Your rights & data deletion
You can:
- See what we have about you — email us and we'll send it.
- Correct it — sign in and resubmit the signup form, or email us.
- Delete it — email us; we'll confirm and remove your record within 30 days.
- Stop emails — unsubscribe link is at the bottom of every email we send.
Email all requests to [email protected]. We respond within 7 business days.
8. Changes to this policy
We'll update the “Last updated” date at the top and, for material changes, send a one-time notice to your registered email before the new policy takes effect.
