Effective Date: May 2025

We value our personal privacy greatly, and therefore, your privacy matters to us too! At Everything Starts With Mom, we believe in transparency and want to assure you that your personal information is treated with care and respect. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how you can manage your preferences.

Who we are

Our website address is: everythingstartswithmom.com

Everything Starts With Mom is a family-centered blog focused on motherhood, home, and heritage. As we grow, we’re committed to handling your information responsibly and ethically.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following information:

  • Your name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter.
  • Comments or feedback you leave on our posts.
  • Information submitted through contact forms.
  • Basic demographic data (e.g., location, preferences) when voluntarily provided.
  • Technical data such as browser type, IP address, and device type through cookies.

You may always visit the site anonymously, though some features (like commenting or subscribing) may ask for minimal information.

How We Use This Information

We collect this information to:

  • Send you our newsletter, recipes, and special updates.
  • Improve our website content and user experience.
  • Respond to questions or feedback you submit.
  • Provide content tailored to your interests.

We will never sell or share your personal information with third parties without your consent.

Cookies

Cookies help us understand what content you love most! A cookie is a small file stored on your device that lets us recognize you when you return. We use cookies to:

  • Analyze web traffic and improve performance.
  • Remember your preferences for a smoother browsing experience.

You can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features.

Advertising and Affiliates

At the moment, we do not serve ads on this site. However, we plan to partner with advertising platforms such as Mediavine in the future. When that happens, you’ll be notified of any updates to this policy.

We may use affiliate links (such as Amazon Associates) throughout the site. This means we may earn a small commission—at no extra cost to you—if you click through and make a purchase. This helps support our work and allows us to keep creating meaningful content.

Comments and Media

When you leave comments, we collect the data shown in the form, your IP address, and browser info to help prevent spam. If you upload images, avoid adding location data. Visitors to the site can download and extract that information.

Embedded Content


Blog posts may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves just as if you visited the source website and may collect data, use cookies, or monitor interaction.

Data Retention and Your Rights

We retain user comments and metadata indefinitely so we can recognize and approve future comments more quickly.

If you have an account or have left comments, you can:

  • Request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold.
  • Request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.

This does not include any data we’re required to keep for legal, security, or administrative purposes.

Your Consent and Updates

Suggested text: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

By using our site, you consent to our privacy policy. We may update this policy occasionally. Please check back from time to time to ensure you’re comfortable with any changes.

If you have questions about this privacy policy, contact us at: [email protected]

Thank you for trusting Everything Starts With Mom with your information. We’re honored to share this space with you!
