Six Munchkins Montessori Dayhome (“Six Munchkins Montessori,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a licensed home-based childcare provider serving families in Calgary, Alberta, including the surrounding Calgary NW community. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the choices available to you.
1. Privacy Laws That Apply
This Privacy Policy addresses applicable Canadian requirements, including PIPEDA, Alberta PIPA, and CASL. Where relevant, we recognize applicable GDPR and CCPA/CPRA rights. Six Munchkins Montessori Dayhome is a Canadian home-based childcare provider and is not a HIPAA covered entity.
2. Personal Information We Collect
When you contact us, request a tour, or submit an enquiry, we may collect parent or guardian name, email, phone number, child’s first name and age range, preferred start date, childcare requirements, questions, and information voluntarily shared about your child’s needs. Technical information such as IP address, browser, device, date and time, URL path, and security logs may also be collected.
3. Why We Collect and Use Personal Information
We use information to respond to enquiries, answer questions about our Montessori Dayhome programs, arrange tours, communicate with enrolled families, provide childcare services, meet Alberta licensing requirements, maintain website security, understand website usage with consent, and send optional updates where consent is provided. We do not sell, rent, trade, or provide personal information to advertisers or data brokers.
4. Legal Basis for EU, UK, and EEA Visitors
Where GDPR applies, we may rely on consent, legitimate interests, or legal obligation. This may include responding to an enquiry, protecting website security, or meeting childcare licensing requirements.
5. How Long We Keep Personal Information
Non-enrolment enquiries are intended to be deleted within 12 months unless a lawful reason requires longer retention. Enrolled-family records may be retained during enrolment and for periods required by Alberta childcare licensing and regulatory requirements, potentially up to five years after a child leaves. Marketing information is retained until consent is withdrawn or you unsubscribe.
6. Who May Access Your Information
Information is primarily handled by the owner-operator. Limited service providers may include our email provider, Vercel Inc., Google Analytics where consent is provided, and Alberta childcare licensing inspectors or regulators where legally required. Some providers may be outside Canada and subject to their local laws.
7. Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion subject to legal retention, confirmation of information held, withdrawal of consent, or removal from optional marketing. GDPR may provide additional rights such as objection, restriction, portability, and complaint. To submit a request, email sixmunchkins369@gmail.com with the subject “Privacy Request.” We aim to respond within 30 days.
8. Children’s Privacy
Website information is intended to be provided by a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly permit children under 13 to independently submit personal information online.
9. Email Communications and CASL
We follow Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation. Commercial messages will identify Six Munchkins Montessori Dayhome, provide contact information, include an unsubscribe option, and respect unsubscribe requests.
10. How We Protect Your Information
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards including access controls, HTTPS, secure infrastructure, restricted access, and reputable providers. No website or electronic transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
11. Cookies, Google Analytics, and Website Tracking
Essential cookies may support website functionality and security. With consent, Google Analytics 4 may collect pages viewed, interactions, general device and browser information, approximate geography, and link clicks. Analytics storage is denied by default and enabled only after selecting Accept. Selecting Decline keeps optional analytics disabled. We do not use advertising pixels, remarketing pixels, cross-context behavioural advertising, or fingerprinting.
12. Third-Party Websites and Services
Links to Google Maps, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and other services are governed by those providers’ own privacy policies. This policy applies to information processed by Six Munchkins Montessori Dayhome.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy when our childcare services, technology, privacy practices, or legal requirements change. The effective date indicates the latest revision.
