Privacy Policy
Effective June 2026
Better Childcare MD (the "Site") is operated by The Better Childcare Foundation. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through betterchildcaremd.com, how we use it, and your choices.
Information we collect
When you submit an interest list, contact form, volunteer form, vendor form, or event signup, we collect the information you provide, which may include:
- Name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Child's age or expected enrollment date
- Any additional notes or comments you choose to share
We may also collect basic, non-identifying analytics about how visitors use the Site (pages viewed, referring source).
How we use information
- To respond to your inquiry or interest submission.
- To send updates about Branch & Bloom Learning Academy, the Old Branch Market, and related programs.
- To plan capacity, programs, and events.
- To improve the Site.
We do not sell your data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only with service providers that help us operate the Site (for example, email and form-processing tools) and only as needed to provide those services.
Children's information
Information about a child (such as age) is provided by a parent or guardian for the purpose of being contacted about enrollment. We do not knowingly collect information directly from children.
Data retention & security
We retain submitted information for as long as needed to respond to your request and operate our programs, and we use reasonable safeguards to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
Your choices
You may request a copy of the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or request deletion at any time by emailing Success@BlackbirdPM.com.
Updates to this policy
We may update this policy as the project grows. The "Effective" date above reflects the current version.
