Please do not submit highly sensitive medical, financial, or identifying information through the website’s general contact forms.

When you visit the website, Squarespace, Google Analytics, embedded content providers, and other service providers may automatically collect information such as:

• Your IP address

• Browser and device type

• Operating system

• Referring website

• Pages viewed

Coaching Information

Information submitted in connection with coaching may include personal information about your fatherhood, family relationships, personal history, goals, or current challenges. I use this information to evaluate whether coaching may be appropriate and to provide requested services.

This Is Dad Life coaching is not psychotherapy, medical care, diagnosis, treatment, or crisis intervention. Information submitted through the website is not protected by therapist-client privilege or medical privacy laws merely because it relates to personal or emotional matters.

Please do not use this website or its forms to request emergency assistance. If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, contact emergency services or an appropriate crisis resource.

Cookies and Analytics

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, remember preferences, measure traffic, and understand how visitors interact with its content.

I use Google Analytics to collect aggregated information about website use. Google may process information about your device and activity according to its own privacy practices.

You may limit cookies through your browser settings or through any cookie-management options displayed on the website. Blocking certain cookies may affect how parts of the website function.

Where required by applicable law, nonessential cookies will not be activated until you provide consent.

Squarespace

This website is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace may process visitor data to provide website hosting, forms, email services, security, analytics, and related functionality. Information submitted through Squarespace forms may be stored or processed through Squarespace and connected services.

Squarespace’s handling of information is governed by its own privacy policy and terms.

Scheduling Services

I may use a scheduling app to schedule consultations or coaching sessions. When you book an appointment, that provider may collect information such as your name, email address, telephone number, appointment information, time zone, and responses to booking questions.

The scheduling provider processes this information according to its own privacy policy and terms.

Embedded YouTube Videos

Pages on this website may contain videos embedded from YouTube, a Google service. When you view or interact with an embedded video, YouTube may receive information about your device, browser, IP address, and activity. YouTube may also use cookies or connect that activity with your Google account, depending on your settings and whether you are signed in.

YouTube and Google process this information according to their own privacy policies.

How Information Is Shared

I may disclose information to service providers that help operate the website and business, including:

• Squarespace

• Google Analytics

• YouTube

• Acuity Scheduling or Calendly

• Email delivery providers

• Professional advisers when reasonably necessary

• Government authorities when disclosure is legally required

These providers may process information only as permitted by their agreements, policies, and applicable law.

I do not sell personal information for money. I also do not knowingly provide personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

Some analytics or advertising technologies may be legally classified as “sharing” under certain state privacy laws. If such technologies are added to the website, this policy and the website’s privacy controls should be updated accordingly.

Data Retention

I retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing requested services, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal obligations.

Coaching inquiries that do not result in a coaching relationship will generally be deleted or anonymized within 12 months unless continued retention is reasonably necessary or you request further communication.

Email subscription information is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to limited records maintained to honor your opt-out request.

Data Security

I use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect personal information. However, no website, email system, or online storage method is completely secure. I cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted or stored electronically.

Your Choices and Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information I hold about you

• Ask that inaccurate information be corrected

• Request deletion of certain information

• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

• Unsubscribe from marketing communications

• Receive information about how your data is used or disclosed

• Appeal the denial of a privacy request where applicable

To submit a request, email cody@thisisdadlife.com. I may need to verify your identity before completing the request. Some information may be retained where required or permitted by law.

Children’s Privacy

This website and its coaching services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the website, contact me so I can review and delete it where appropriate.

Parents should avoid submitting unnecessary identifying or sensitive information about their children through general website forms.

Links to Other Websites

This website may link to websites or services operated by other organizations. I am not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices. Review the privacy policy of any third-party service before providing it with personal information.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy as the website, services, or legal requirements change. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the website or by email when appropriate.
