Privacy Policy

The short version

The Kid Planner is a free tool for Triangle NC parents. We collect only what we need to run the site and send the newsletter. We don't sell your data, we don't share it with third parties for marketing, and we don't require an account to use any feature.

What we collect

Email address — only if you sign up for the newsletter. We use this to send you The Kid Planner Weekly. Nothing else.

Schedule data— your saved camp schedule is stored entirely in your browser's localStorage. It never leaves your device unless you choose to share the link.

Analytics — we use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how people use the site (page views, clicks, session recordings). This data is anonymized and aggregated. No personal information is attached to it.

How we use your email

If you subscribe, we send The Kid Planner Weekly — one email per week with camp recommendations, registration alerts, and coverage tips for Triangle families. We use Beehiiv to manage our subscriber list. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link at the bottom of every email.

What we don't do

• Sell or rent your email address
• Share your data with advertisers
• Require account creation to use any feature
• Store your schedule on our servers
• Send unsolicited promotional emails from third parties

Children's privacy (COPPA)

This site is directed to parents and caregivers, not to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us at hello@thekidplanner.com and we will delete it promptly. Camp listings are provided for adult decision-makers researching programs for their children.

Cookies

We use cookies for analytics (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity). These are standard analytics cookies — no advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking. If you'd prefer not to be tracked, browser extensions like uBlock Origin will block them.

Data retention

Your email stays in our newsletter list until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained by Google and Microsoft per their standard retention policies. LocalStorage data stays in your browser until you clear it.
