Refund Policy

We at Cultivating Parenthood are committed to superior service for each and every one of our members and clients and, of course, their little ones. One of our core values is to keep our costs as accessible as possible with a range of products and services to fit every budget. However, with such low profit margins, we do have a more stringent refund policy. Please ensure that you have read through all of our terms and refund policy and reach out to us with any questions before making a purchase.

Cultivating Parenthood can never guarantee perfect sleepers or perfectly well-behaved children, but we always guarantee professional, supportive, and thorough service to each family that we work with. By utilizing our evidence-based practices you should notice change within 6- to 8-weeks. However, this requires full parental (or caretaker) involvement, pediatrician approval and/or support, and a developmentally capable and receptive child. These are factors which Cultivating Parenthood cannot control. Should you decide that Cultivating Parenthood is not an ideal fit for your needs, please bear in mind that all products, membership, and services are non-refundable as we must account for our company’s overhead and time. If you are unhappy with our services, please reach out to our CEO, Ashley, and we will try to resolve your concern as best as possible. All services rendered including membership, consulting, coaching, video training, classes, certification courses, group calls, individual calls, text messages, DMs, emails, workbooks, etc, are not refundable. Should a client choose not to complete their services with Cultivating Parenthood, the amount paid is kept for work invested in research, client contact, training, plan preparation, follow-up contacts, and any other service provided during the time Parties worked together. For phone consults, your consultant or coach will make three (3) attempts to contact you at the phone number you provide. If you do not answer after the third attempt, you will be marked as a No Show and will forfeit that consultation time. In other words, if you are a “no show”, Cultivating Parenthood will not refund your money and you will be charged 100% of the service amount. No shows are not eligible for refunds or reschedules. If you need to reschedule your phone consultation, a minimum of 24 hours must be provided.

Due to the nature of digital products, refunds will not be issued once an order has been placed and product has been delivered. If you are unable to open the digital product please contact our CEO, Ashley, at team@cultivatingparenthood within three (3) days of the link being delivered to your email address (make sure to provide best email address at checkout). Downloads are monitored periodically to ensure you are able to successfully access purchased digital products. We recommend contacting us if you have any questions before you purchase.

  • Performance of a contract. We need your personal information to provide you with services and products requested by you, or to respond to your inquiries.

  • Third Party Plugins and Social Networks.

  • Service providers. We share personal information with our service providers that perform services on our behalf.

How we protect your personal information

While no service is completely secure, Cultivating Parenthood’s website is housed on Squarespace. Squarespace has a security team dedicated to keeping personal information safe. From their website, “We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards that are intended to appropriately protect against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse and any other unlawful form of processing, of the personal information in our possession. We employ security measures such as using firewalls to protect against intruders, building redundancies throughout our network (so that if one server goes down, another can cover for it) and testing for and protecting against network vulnerabilities.”

How we retain your personal information

We retain personal information regarding you or your use of the Membership or Services for as long as your Account is active or for as long as needed to provide you with the Services. We also retain personal information for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, for example, to comply with our legal obligations, to protect us in the event of disputes and to enforce our agreements and to protect our and others’ interests.  

The precise periods for which we keep your personal information vary depending on the nature of the information and why we need it. Factors we consider in determining these periods include the minimum required retention period prescribed by law or recommended as best practice, the period during which a claim can be made with respect to an agreement or other matter, whether the personal information has been aggregated or pseudonymized, and other relevant criteria. For example, the period we keep your email address is connected to how long your Account is active, while the period for which we keep a contact message is based on how long has passed since the last submission in the thread.

Please note that in the course of providing Membership or Services, we collect and maintain aggregated, anonymized or de-personalized information which we may retain indefinitely.

Data transfers

Personal information that you submit through our website, Membership, or Services may be transferred to countries other than where you live, such as, for example, to our servers in the U.S. We also store personal information locally on the devices you use to access our site.

Your personal information may be transferred to countries that do not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. For example, data we store may be accessible to law enforcement and national security authorities under certain circumstances.

We rely upon a number of means to transfer personal information which is subject to: (a) the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR; or (b) applicable UK data privacy laws in accordance therewith. These include:

  • Standard data protection clauses. We transfer, in accordance with Article 46 of the GDPR, personal information to recipients that have entered into the European Commission approved contract for the transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area. We transfer, in accordance with UK law, personal information to recipients that have entered into the UK Information Commissioner’s Office approved international data transfer agreement and the UK addendum to such European Commission approved contract. 

  • Other means. We may, in accordance with Articles 45 and 46 of the GDPR, transfer personal information to recipients that are in a country the European Commission or a European data protection supervisory authority has confirmed, by decision, offers an adequate level of data protection, pursuant to an approved certification mechanism or code of conduct, together with binding, enforceable commitments from the recipient to apply the appropriate safeguards, including as regards data subjects’ rights, or to processors which have committed to comply with binding corporate rules.

You can find out more information about these transfer mechanisms which are put in place by Squarespace, our website host, here or you can request a copy directly from Squarespace. 

Privacy Shield

While Cultivating Parenthood, and our parent site, Squarespace, no longer relies upon the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks (each individually and jointly, the “Privacy Shield”) to provide a legal basis for transfers to the US, Squarespace, Inc. has certified its compliance to the Privacy Shield, which continues to apply. Squarespace, Inc.

You can find our certification here and you can learn more about the Privacy Shield and Principles by visiting https://www.privacyshield.gov/.

Our accountability for personal information we receive and subsequently transfer to a third party is described in the Privacy Shield Principles.

Effective Date: December 13, 2022

This specific privacy notices page is an extension to and forms part of the Squarespace Privacy Policy. Capitalized terms used on this page shall have the meanings in the Squarespace Privacy Policy or Squarespace Terms of Service.

I. Additional Information for California Residents

This Section I is only applicable to you if you are a resident of the state of California in the US (“California Residents”) and only applies to Squarespace Controlled PI for which Squarespace is a “Business” (as defined in the CCPA). “CCPA” means the California Consumer Privacy Act (Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1798.100 - 1798.199), as may be modified from time to time. This Section I covers Squarespace Controlled PI we collect about California Residents on or through our Services and through other means (such as information collected offline or in person). 

If you are a California Resident who is a User and uses the Services to store User Controlled PI for which you are a “Business” and Squarespace is a “Service Provider” (as defined in the CCPA), please see our Data Processing Addendum for information about how we process User Controlled PI.

a. Categories, business and commercial purposes, sources and third parties 

California law requires us to disclose certain information regarding the personal information we collect. Below is a table showing: (i) all categories of personal information which Squarespace collects, or has collected, about California Residents, in the twelve (12) months prior to the effective date of this privacy specific notices page; (ii) the purposes for which we use that information; and (iii) the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information for a business purpose or to whom we "Share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising (as described below).

b. Your requests

Subject to certain exceptions and restrictions, the CCPA provides California Residents the right to submit requests to a business which has collected their personal information: (i) to provide them with access to the specific pieces and categories of personal information collected by the business about such California Resident, the categories of sources for such information, the business or commercial purposes for collecting such information, and the categories of third parties with which such information was shared; (ii) to request correction of their inaccurate personal information; and (iii) to delete their personal information (each, a “California Request”). We need certain types of information so that we can provide our Services to you. If you ask us to delete some or all of your information, you may no longer be able to access or use the Services.

If you are a California Resident, please follow the instructions in the “Your rights and choices” section in our Privacy Policy to submit California Requests and please make sure you note that you are a California Resident when you do so. California Residents may designate an authorized agent to make California Requests on their behalf. In order to designate an authorized agent to make a California Request on your behalf, you or your agent must provide proof that the agent has been authorized by you to act on your behalf, such as written authorization signed by you authorizing that agent to act on your behalf. We reserve the right to request additional information from you and/or individuals purporting to be authorized agents, such as when we suspect fraud.

c. Do not sell or share my personal information

 California residents may opt out of the "Sale" or “Sharing” of their personal information. The CCPA’s definition of "Sale" includes “Sharing” for purposes of “cross-context behavioral advertising,” which is defined as targeting of advertising to a consumer based on that consumer’s personal information obtained from the consumer’s activity across websites. We only mean this CCPA definition when “share” or “sharing” are capitalized on this page or in our Privacy Policy. We Share information to provide more relevant and tailored advertising to you regarding our Services. Depending on how you use the Services, we may Share the following categories of information for such purposes: (i) identification and demographics; (ii) device information and identifiers, such as IP address and unique advertising identifiers and cookies; (iii) connection and usage information, such as browsing history or app usage; and (iv) inference data. We do not otherwise “Sell” (as defined in the CCPA) your personal information, and have not engaged in such activity in the twelve (12) months prior to the effective date of this specific privacy notices page.

If you would like to opt out of Squarespace's Sharing of your information with third parties for such purposes, you may do so by clicking on the “Your Privacy Choices” link in the footer of this page. 

The CCPA also allows you to limit the use or disclosure of your “sensitive personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) if your sensitive personal information is used for certain purposes.  Please note that we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information other than for purposes for which you cannot opt out under the CCPA.

We do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals. Please note that Do Not Track is a different privacy mechanism than the “Global Privacy Control,” which is a browser-based control that indicates whether you would like to opt out of processing of your personal information for online behavioral advertising purposes. We respond to the Global Privacy Control in California. To opt out of Sharing, turn on the Global Privacy Control signal in your browser. Please note that the opt out will only apply to the browser and device you use to send the Global Privacy Control signal.

We do not knowingly “Sell” or Share the personal information of children under 16.

d. We do not discriminate against you

You also have the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising certain of your rights. Squarespace does not discriminate against California Residents for exercising their rights.

II. Additional Information for Virginia Residents

This Section II is only applicable to you if you are a resident of the state of Virginia in the US (“Virginia Residents”) and only applies to Squarespace Controlled PI for which Squarespace is a “Controller” (as defined in the VCDPA) but does not apply to personal information we collect about you where you are acting as an employee, owner, director, officer or contractor of a company, partnership, sole proprietorship, non-profit or government agency. “VCDPA” means the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (Va. Code §§ 59.1-575 to 59.1-584), as may be modified from time to time. This Section II applies to personal information we collect about Virginia Residents on or through our Services and through other means (such as information collected offline or in person).

In addition to your rights in Section 7 of our Privacy Policy, you can: 

  • ask us to confirm we are processing your personal information; and 

  • opt out of processing or sharing of your personal information for online targeted advertising purposes. If you would like to opt out of Squarespace's use of your information for such purposes, you may do so by clicking on the “Your Privacy Choices” link in the footer of this page.

Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law.If we deny your request to exercise your rights in whole or in part, you may have the right to appeal the decision. In such circumstances, you may contact us at privacy@squarespace.com with the subject “Virginia Data Privacy Request Appeal” to provide us with information about details about why you are appealing the decision. 

If you are a Virginia Resident who is a User and uses the Services to store User Controlled PI for which you are a “Controller” and Squarespace is your “Processor” (as defined in the VCDPA), please see our Data Processing Addendum for information about how we process User Controlled PI.

This Cookie Policy describes how Cultivating Parenthood uses cookies and similar technologies to provide, customize, evaluate, improve, promote and protect our Membership, Services, and Products. Note that any capitalized terms not defined in this Cookie Policy have the meanings set forth in Our Legal Notices. If you have any comments or questions about this Cookie Policy, feel free to contact us at team@cultivatingparenthood.com.  

Cookies. Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your browser when you visit a site. They serve a variety of functions, like enabling us to remember certain information you provide to us as you navigate between pages on the Services. We use cookies on the website and associated domains of www.cultivatingparenthood.com and on Cultivating Parenthood web and mobile applications for the following purposes:

  • Authentication, Customization, Security and Other Functional Cookies. Cookies help us verify your Account and device and determine when you’re logged in, so we can make it easier for you to access Membership and Services and provide the appropriate experiences and features. We also use cookies to help prevent fraudulent use of login credentials and to remember choices you’ve made on the Services, such as your language preference.

  • Performance And Analytics. Cookies help us analyze how our Membership and Services are being accessed and used, and enable us to track performance of them. For example, we use cookies to determine if you viewed a page or opened an email. This helps us provide you with information that you find interesting.

  • Third Parties. Third Party Services may use cookies to help you sign into their services from our Services. Any such third party cookie usage is governed by the policy of the third party placing the cookie.

  • Ads. We partner with third party publishers, advertising networks and service providers to manage our ads on other sites. Our third party partners may set cookies on your device or browser to gather information about your activities on the Membership, Services, and other sites you visit, in order to provide you with Cultivating Parenthood ads. For example, if you visit Cultivating Parenthood and also use a social media platform, you may see a Cultivating Parenthood ad in your social media newsfeed or timeline.

  • Opting Out. You can set your browser to not accept cookies, but this may limit your ability to use the Services or Membership. We currently don’t respond to DNT:1 signals from browsers visiting our Services. You can also opt out of receiving interest-based ads from certain ad networks here (or if located in the European Union, here).

Device Identifiers. We use device identifiers on Cultivating Parenthood web and mobile applications to track, analyze and improve the performance of the Membership, Services, and our ads.

Third Party Tags. We use and manage third party tags on the website and associated domains of www.cultivatingparenthood.com and on Cultivating Parenthood web and mobile applications. Third party tags may take the form of pixels or tracking snippets. We use pixels to learn how you interact with our site pages and emails, and this information helps us and our ad partners provide you with a more tailored experience. We use tracking snippets to capture data from your browser, make requests to a third party partner or set cookies on your device to store data. For example, if you see a Cultivating Parenthood ad on a social media platform and choose to use Cultivating Parenthood, we may use a tag to reduce the number of Cultivating Parenthood ads you see on that platform. We use Google Tag Manager to manage our third party tag usage. This may cause other tags to be activated which may, for their part, collect data and set cookies under certain circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not store this data.

Updates. We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we’ll update the “Effective Date” at the top of Our Legal Notices page and post it on our sites. We encourage you to check back periodically to review this Cookie Policy for any changes since your last visit.
