Learning Without Fear (“LWF,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit lwfwholechildeducation.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have.

2. Information You Give Us
- Contact form and email. When you contact us, we collect your name, email address, the topic you select, and your message.
- Purchases. When you buy books or other products, we collect the information needed to complete your order, such as your name, email address, phone number, billing and shipping address, and order details. Payments are handled by a third-party payment processor; we do not store your full payment details on our Site.

- Comments. If you leave a comment, we collect your name, email address, website (if provided), and the comment itself.
3. Information Collected Automatically
- Cookies. Our Site uses cookies that are necessary for it to work — for example, to keep items in your shopping cart, to remember your login, and to protect against spam. See Section 7.
- Technical information. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit, for security and performance.
- Site statistics. We may use WordPress/Jetpack site statistics to understand, in summary form, how visitors use the Site.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- respond to your questions and requests;
- process and deliver orders and provide customer service;
- schedule consultations, trainings, workshops, and speaking engagements you ask about;
- send you information you have requested, such as updates about LWF programs (you can opt out at any time);
- keep the Site secure, prevent spam and fraud, and improve the Site;
- comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell or rent your personal information.
5. How We Share Information
We share information only with service providers who help us run the Site and our programs, and only as needed for them to do their work. These include:
- our website hosting provider;
- payment processors that handle purchases;
- WordPress.com/Automattic services (Jetpack and Akismet anti-spam), which may process comments and site activity to filter spam and provide statistics;
- Google Fonts, which provides the fonts used on the Site;
- email services used to deliver messages you send us.
We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and property of LWF, our users, or others.
6. Children’s Privacy
Our Site is intended for parents, caregivers, educators, school leaders, and community partners. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
7. Cookies and Your Choices
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. If you block cookies, some parts of the Site — such as the shopping cart, checkout, and login — may not work properly.
8. Embedded Content and Links
Pages on this Site may include embedded content (for example, videos or images) or links to other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website, and those websites may collect data about you. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites; please review their privacy policies.
9. How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy — for example, to respond to your inquiry, to keep records of orders for tax and accounting purposes, or as required by law. Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely unless you ask us to remove them.
10. Your Rights
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop sending you communications. To make a request, email info@lwfwholechildeducation.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing your request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
11. Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and change the effective date above.
