3. How We Use Information

• To diagnose technical issues and monitor site performance

We do not use your information to send unsolicited marketing email. If you contact us, we may reply to your inquiry but will not add you to a marketing list without your explicit consent.

4. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Partners

Some articles on FamilyCareWise contain affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, you leave our site and are directed to a third-party website. The affiliate network and the merchant each have their own privacy practices, which we do not control.

Affiliate networks we may use include ShareASale, Impact, Commission Junction, and Amazon Associates. Each of these networks may set cookies on your browser when you click an affiliate link, which allows them to track whether a purchase results from our referral. These cookies are not set by FamilyCareWise and are governed by each network's privacy policy.

If you prefer not to be tracked via affiliate cookies, you can disable third-party cookies in your browser settings. This does not affect your ability to read our content.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers:

• Cloudflare: Website hosting, CDN, and security services. Cloudflare may process your IP address for routing and security purposes.
• Payhip: Digital product platform. If you purchase an ebook or printable through FamilyCareWise, the transaction is processed by Payhip. FamilyCareWise does not receive or store payment card information. Payhip's privacy policy governs their data practices.
• Google Analytics 4: Aggregated visitor analytics. Data is anonymized. Google's privacy policy governs their data practices.
• Affiliate Networks: When you click an affiliate link, referral data (including originating URL and click timestamp) is passed to the affiliate network. This is necessary for commission tracking and is disclosed in our affiliate disclosure statements.

Legal Requirements:

We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect our legal rights.

Business Transfer:

If FamilyCareWise or its operating company is acquired or merges with another entity, visitor data may be transferred to the successor. We will provide notice before such transfer takes effect.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

FamilyCareWise uses the following types of cookies:

• Essential Cookies: Required for basic website functionality and security (Cloudflare)

• Third-Party Cookies: Affiliate networks may set tracking cookies when you click affiliate links, as described in Section 4

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling analytics cookies does not affect your ability to read our content. Disabling third-party cookies will prevent affiliate network tracking.
