Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 17, 2026
BuyingForMom (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit BuyingForMom.com, how we use it, and the choices you have about your information.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us directly. When you contact us through our Contact page or subscribe to email updates, you may provide your name and email address. We use this only to respond to you or send you the content you signed up for.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically collect basic information about your visit, including:
- Your IP address (anonymized after collection)
- Browser type and operating system
- Pages you visited and time spent on each
- The website that referred you to us
This information is collected via cookies and analytics tools, and we use it to understand which content is helpful to readers and to improve the site.
2. Cookies and tracking
We use cookies for three purposes:
- Analytics — Google Analytics and/or Cloudflare Web Analytics help us see anonymous visitor data.
- Affiliate tracking — When you click an affiliate link, Amazon and other affiliate networks set cookies on your browser so they can credit us with the referral if you make a purchase. These cookies typically last 24 hours (Amazon) but vary by program.
- Essential site function — WordPress.com sets cookies required for the site to work properly.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but parts of the site may not work properly if you do.
3. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to reply to messages you send us, send you email updates if you’ve subscribed, understand how readers use our content so we can improve it, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
4. Third-party services
We use the following services that may receive limited information about your visit:
- Amazon Associates — for affiliate link tracking.
- Google Analytics — for anonymous usage statistics.
- WordPress.com — our hosting provider.
- Cloudflare — our DNS and CDN provider.
5. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request a copy of the information we have about you, ask us to correct or delete that information, opt out of marketing communications (every email we send includes an unsubscribe link), and opt out of the sale of your personal information. We do not sell personal information.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@buyingformom.com.
6. Children’s privacy
BuyingForMom is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top. Material changes will be announced on the site for at least 30 days.
