Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Contact form information. If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, subject and message.
• Free tools. Our free tools, such as the Chore Chart Generator and the Daily Brain Dump, keep what you type on your own device. We do not receive it or store it. Some tools save your choices in your browser so they are still there when you come back. You can clear them with the button on each tool, or by clearing your browser data.
• Suggestions. If you send a suggestion through the form on a tool page, we collect what you write and any contact details you choose to share.
• Email sign-ups. If you sign up to receive a free resource (such as Faith Lists) or to join our email list, we collect your email address and, where provided, your name.
• Purchase information. Our paid resource libraries, memberships, decks, and workbooks are sold through Pensight, a third-party storefront. When you make a purchase, Pensight collects your payment and contact information directly. We do not receive or store your full card details.
• Website usage information. Like most websites, our hosting provider and Google Analytics automatically collect standard technical information, such as your IP address, browser and device type, general location, how you arrived at the site, and the pages you visit.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Deliver the free resource or digital product you requested
• Respond to questions sent through our contact form
• Send occasional emails related to new blog posts, resources or products, if you have signed up to receive them
• Maintain and improve the website

We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

This website uses cookies for basic functionality and for Google Analytics, which helps us understand how visitors find and use the site.

Google Analytics. Google Analytics sets cookies (such as _ga and _ga_ followed by an ID) that count visits and show which pages are read most. We see this information as totals and trends, not as a record of what any one person did, and we do not use it to identify you. Google processes this information under its own privacy policy. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Your choices. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or opt out of Google Analytics on every website with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The site works normally without these cookies.

Google AdSense. This website shows ads through Google AdSense. Google and other third-party vendors use cookies to show ads based on your earlier visits to this website and other websites. Google’s advertising cookies let it and its partners show you ads based on those visits. You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google’s Ads Settings, and opt out of some other vendors’ cookies at aboutads.info. Learn more about how Google uses advertising cookies.

Third-Party Services

This website works with the following third parties, each of which has its own privacy policy:

• Pensight: hosts checkout and delivery for our paid resources and some free resources, and sends our emails. When you sign up for a free resource or our email list, your name and email address are stored in Pensight.
• Hostinger: our website hosting provider.
• Cloudflare Turnstile: protects our contact form from spam. It runs a quick check in your browser when you use the form, and Cloudflare has its own privacy policy.
• Google Analytics: measures website traffic and how visitors use the site.
• Google AdSense: shows ads on the site.
• Amazon Associates: some links go to our Amazon storefront. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases, and Amazon may set its own cookies when you click through.

Data Retention and Security

We retain contact form submissions and email sign-up information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry or to continue providing the resource or communications you signed up for. We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold, though no method of storage or transmission is completely secure.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information, or to opt out of marketing emails (every email we send includes an unsubscribe link). To make a privacy request, email regina@thefocusedhomemaker.com or use the form on our Contact page.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
