Who is responsible for your data

Parenting 4 Beginners is run by Andrea Santana Feo and Xavier Vieira, based in Barcelona, Spain. They decide together how your data is used and are jointly responsible for it. You can contact both of them at parenting4beginners@gmail.com, and you can exercise your rights with either of them.

What we collect

• Your email address, when you send it to us in an Instagram message or through the waitlist form on this website.
• Your Instagram username and the messages you send us, when you contact us on Instagram.
• Your answers to our short questions, such as the topics that interest you most or which guide you'd like first.

We don't ask for health information about you or your baby. Please don't send it to us.

Why we use it

• To give you the free guide you asked for: the phone version downloads straight away, and we email you the printable version.
• To email you when new Parenting 4 Beginners guides launch, if you agreed to it.
• To understand which guides parents need most, using your answers.

The legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation). You can withdraw it at any time, using the unsubscribe link in any email or by writing to us. Withdrawing it doesn't affect anything we did before.

Who helps us

We use a few trusted services to run Parenting 4 Beginners. They only process your data on our behalf and following our instructions:

• MailerLite, to store our email list and send emails.
• Our Instagram messaging tool, to reply automatically to comments and messages and collect the email you send.
• Netlify, which hosts this website and the guide files.
• Google Drive, where we may also store guide files for you to download.

Instagram is run by Meta, which handles the data you share on its platform under its own privacy policy.

Some of these providers may process data outside the European Economic Area, for example in the United States. When that happens, the transfer relies on safeguards recognised by EU law, such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

How long we keep it

We keep your email until you unsubscribe, withdraw your consent or ask us to delete it. After that, we delete it, unless we need to keep a minimal record to show that we respected your request.

Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct or delete your data, to limit or object to how we use it, or to receive a copy of it. Just write to parenting4beginners@gmail.com. If you think we haven't handled your data properly, you can complain to the Spanish data protection authority (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, www.aepd.es) or to the authority in your country.

Cookies

This website doesn't use cookies, analytics or tracking tools. Our fonts are hosted on our own site.

Age

Our guides are written for adults. If you're under 16, please don't send us your personal data.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update it on this page and change the date at the top.
