1. Scope and who operates the site
This Privacy Policy applies to YouthPivot.com and the public pages, resources, forms, and links provided through it. YouthPivot is an independent parent-education brand created by Ron Million. It is not a government agency and does not represent Ron's employer.
2. Information we collect
Depending on how you use YouthPivot, information may include:
- Information you provide: your name, email address, subject, message, and any other information you voluntarily include in a contact form or email.
- Email subscription information: your email address and subscription activity when you voluntarily join a YouthPivot email list.
- Website-use information: pages viewed, approximate location derived from an IP address, browser or device information, referring page, campaign parameters, engagement time, scroll depth, downloads, video or offer interactions, and checkout-link clicks.
- Local browser preference: YouthPivot may store a local flag on Ron's own browser to suppress internal analytics traffic. This does not create a public user account.
- Transaction information from checkout providers: YouthPivot may receive order, buyer-contact, product, and fulfillment information made available by the provider used for a purchase. Current providers may include Etsy and Lemon Squeezy. YouthPivot does not directly collect complete payment-card details through YouthPivot.com.

7. Children's privacy
YouthPivot is written for parents, caregivers, educators, and other adults.
