Privacy Policy

Effective and last updated: July 15, 2026

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with YHC, we may collect:

• Contact information, such as your name and email address.
• Shipping and delivery information, such as the recipient name, shipping address, telephone number when needed for delivery, shipping method, tracking details, and delivery status.
• Order and transaction information, such as the product or service purchased, transaction date, amount, and payment status. Payment-card details are generally collected and processed directly by third-party payment providers; YHC does not intend to store complete payment-card numbers.
• Information you choose to provide, including answers submitted through forms, questionnaires, personalized-plan requests, customer-support messages, testimonials, and other communications.
• Email engagement information, such as subscription status and whether an email was delivered, opened, or clicked, where supported by our email provider.
• Device and usage information, such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, pages viewed, approximate location, and interactions with the website.
• Cookie and similar-technology information used for essential website functions, analytics, preferences, marketing, and fraud prevention.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information that is unnecessary for the service you are requesting.

2. How We Collect Information

We collect information directly from you when you complete a form, subscribe, make a purchase, request a personalized plan, contact us, or provide a testimonial. We may also collect information automatically through cookies and analytics tools, and receive transaction or engagement information from service providers that support our website, payments, email, digital-product delivery, physical-product fulfillment, shipping, and delivery.

3. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

• provide, personalize, and deliver guides, digital products, plans, and support;
• process orders and send transaction or access messages;
• fulfill and deliver physical-product orders, provide shipment updates, and handle returns, replacements, and related customer-service requests;
• respond to questions and customer-service requests;
• operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website;
• understand website and email performance;
• send educational content, encouragement, product information, or promotional messages when permitted;
• prevent fraud, misuse, and security incidents;
• comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements; and
• protect the rights, safety, and property of YHC, our users, and others.

4. Email Communications

We may use Kit and other email-service tools to manage subscriptions, deliver free resources, and send educational or promotional email. You may unsubscribe from marketing email at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the message. We may still send non-promotional messages needed to complete a purchase, provide a requested resource, respond to you, or administer an existing customer relationship.

5. Cookies and Analytics

Our WordPress website and its service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies. These technologies may support core site functions, remember preferences, measure traffic and engagement, help us understand which content is useful, and maintain security.

Analytics tools may include Jetpack, MonsterInsights, Google Analytics, or similar services. You can adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies, but some website features may not work correctly afterward. Where required, we will request consent before using non-essential cookies.

6. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information to vendors and service providers that perform services for us, such as:

• website hosting, WordPress tools, security, and content delivery;
• email marketing and digital-product delivery;
• payment processing, checkout, and order administration;
• physical-product manufacturing, print-on-demand or made-to-order fulfillment, shipping, delivery, returns, and replacements;
• forms, analytics, and customer support;
• professional advisers, such as legal or accounting providers; and
• government authorities or other parties when disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or security.

Examples may include Bluehost, WordPress and related plugins, WooCommerce, Kit, PayPal or other payment providers, Jetpack, Google Analytics, MonsterInsights, WPForms, OptinMonster, and Creative Mail. Their handling of information is governed by their own terms and privacy notices.

We may also transfer information in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, subject to applicable law.

7. Sale and Targeted Advertising

YHC does not sell personal information for money. Some privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” more broadly than an exchange for money. If our practices become subject to such definitions, we will provide any required notices and choices.

8. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing services, maintaining business and tax records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, preventing fraud, and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods vary based on the type of information and our relationship with you.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information. However, no website, transmission, or storage system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

You may unsubscribe from marketing email at any time. You may also contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information associated with you. Depending on where you live and whether an applicable law covers YHC, you may have additional rights, including rights to obtain a copy of information, opt out of certain processing, or appeal a denied request.

Texas residents may have rights under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, subject to its scope, exceptions, and applicability requirements. We will evaluate verified requests under the law that applies to the request. We may need information to verify your identity and authority. To submit a privacy request, email elisabeth@yourhomeschoolcompanion.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line.

11. Children’s Privacy

YHC is designed for parents, guardians, and other adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Children should not submit forms, create purchases, or provide personal information through the website. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.

12. Third-Party Websites and Social Platforms

The website may link to third-party websites, stores, social networks, or services. We do not control their privacy practices and are not responsible for their content or handling of information. Review their privacy notices before providing information.

13. United States Processing

YHC is based in Texas, United States. Information may be processed and stored in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate. Those locations may have different privacy laws than your location.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our services, technology, or legal obligations change. The revised version will be posted with a new “last updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated by another reasonable method.
