Information about a child, such as the child’s age or childcare needs, should be submitted only by the child’s parent, legal guardian, or another authorized adult.
If we learn that personal information was submitted directly by a child without appropriate parental involvement, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

- Understand how visitors use the website
- Measure website performance

More information is available in our Cookie Policy.

9. Advertising and Sale of Information

The website is not intended to use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Before publication, this statement should be reviewed if advertising pixels, remarketing tools, or targeted advertising services are later added to the website.
10. Third-Party Websites and Services
The website may contain links to external services, such as:
- Google business listings
- Google Maps
- Email applications
- Telephone applications
- Other third-party websites
When you follow an external link, the third party’s own privacy policy and terms apply.

12. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, email transmission, hosting service, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
For this reason, visitors should avoid submitting highly sensitive or confidential information through the general contact form.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, California residents may have rights regarding their personal information, including the ability to request:
- Information about the personal information collected about them
- Access to certain personal information
- Correction of inaccurate information
- Deletion of certain information
- Information about how personal information is used or disclosed
- Non-discriminatory treatment for exercising applicable privacy rights
California privacy law recognizes rights including access, correction, deletion, opting out of certain sales or sharing, and equal treatment, although the precise obligations depend on whether a particular business is covered by the applicable law.
To submit a privacy-related request, contact:
Email: small.explorers.dc@gmail.com
Phone: (650) 352-3760
We may need to verify the requester’s identity before completing a request. Certain information may be retained when permitted or required by law.
An authorized agent may submit a request where allowed by law, but we may require proof of authorization and identity verification.
14. Do Not Track and Privacy Preference Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not one universally applied technical standard for these signals, the website may not respond to all Do Not Track settings.
Where required by applicable law and relevant to the website’s data practices, legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals will be handled appropriately.
Because Little Explorers does not intend to sell personal information or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising, these signals generally should not affect the website’s essential operation.
15. Photography and Media
Photographs displayed on the website may include the Little Explorers environment, activities, staff members, or children participating in daycare activities.
Little Explorers should publish identifiable photographs or videos of children only when appropriate authorization has been obtained from a parent or legal guardian.
Website visitors may not copy, download, distribute, republish, or use photographs of children without authorization.
16. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, services, technology, or legal obligations change.
The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
Material changes may be communicated through an additional website notice when appropriate.
