Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 18, 2025

At Dad Is There, we are committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your parenting documentation. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our service.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and a password (which is securely hashed and never stored in plain text). This information is necessary to create and manage your account.

Parenting Notes

You may choose to create notes documenting your parenting activities, interactions, and time spent with your children. These notes may include:

• Dates and times of activities
• Descriptions of interactions
• Locations where activities occurred
• Duration of activities
• Categories of activities (e.g., Daily Care, Education, Medical)
• Attachments such as photos or receipts
• Associations with specific children

Children Information

You may add information about your children, including their names. This information is used solely to organize and associate your parenting notes.

Email Address for Notifications

You may optionally provide an email address to receive timestamped email notifications when notes are created. This email address is used exclusively for sending these notification emails and is not shared with third parties.

Account Sharing

You may choose to grant access to your account to other users, such as lawyers or court staff. When you add a user to your account, you assign them either "parent" (full edit access) or "viewer" (read-only access) permissions. These users will have access to view your notes and account information according to their assigned permissions.

Technical Information

We automatically collect certain technical information when you use our service, including:

• IP addresses
• Browser type and version
• Device information
• Session information for authentication purposes

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our service
• Authenticate your identity and manage your account
• Store and organize your parenting notes
• Send email timestamp notifications when you create notes (if you have provided an email address for this purpose)
• Enable account sharing functionality with authorized users
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security issues
• Comply with legal obligations

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

• Passwords are hashed using secure algorithms and never stored in plain text
• Data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS
• Access to your account requires authentication
• We use secure session management to protect your login sessions
• Regular security audits and updates to our systems

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

Authorized Users

If you grant access to your account to other users (such as lawyers or court staff), those users will have access to your notes and account information according to the permissions you assign them.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

Service Providers

We may share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, email delivery, and analytics. These service providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.

Email Timestamping

When you create a note, we automatically send an email notification to the email address you have configured (if provided). This email serves as a timestamped record of when the note was created. The email contains:

• The date and time the note was created
• A summary of the note content
• A partial note ID for reference

These emails are sent through our email service provider and are stored by your email provider according to their privacy policies. We do not store copies of these emails on our servers beyond the delivery process.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the following rights regarding your information:

• Access: You can access and review your account information and notes at any time through your account dashboard
• Modification: You can update or correct your account information, notes, and children information at any time
• Deletion: You can delete your notes, children information, or your entire account at any time
• Account Sharing: You can add or remove authorized users from your account at any time
• Email Notifications: You can update or remove your email address for timestamp notifications at any time
• Account Closure: You can delete your account at any time, which will permanently delete all associated data

Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal information and notes, subject to any legal obligations to retain certain information.

Note that email notifications sent to your email provider are subject to your email provider's retention policies and are outside our control.

Children's Privacy

Our service is designed for parents to document their parenting activities. While you may add information about your children (such as names) to organize your notes, we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
