Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how TalkPebble (TalkPebble: Speech & Language) handles information in connection with our website at https://talkpebble.com and related online services we operate today. TalkPebble provides educational content for parents and caregivers, and information about a parent-guided speech and language mobile app that is still under development.

By using our website, you acknowledge this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. Information We Collect

What we collect depends on how you interact with TalkPebble. Today, the public website is primarily informational. We do not currently offer a public account signup, contact form, newsletter signup, or waitlist form on the website.

Practices for the future mobile app may differ and will be described in an updated policy before those features collect personal data.

3. Information You Provide

If you email us at info@talkpebble.com, we receive the information you include in that message (such as your email address and message content) so we can respond.

Staff administrators who sign in to internal admin tools may provide login credentials. Those tools are not part of the public parent experience.

4. Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, our hosting and delivery infrastructure may automatically process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and approximate timing of visits. This may occur through server logs or similar mechanisms operated by our hosting provider.

5. Children's Privacy

TalkPebble is intended for parents and caregivers. We do not knowingly allow children to create independent accounts on the public website, and the website does not currently provide a public account registration flow for children or parents.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through the public website. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at info@talkpebble.com so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

Future mobile-app features that involve child-related information entered by a parent or caregiver will be described in an updated policy before launch. We do not claim certified COPPA, GDPR, or similar compliance as a formal status in this draft.

6. How We Use Information

We may use information we receive to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the website
• Respond to messages you send us
• Understand aggregate site usage and reliability
• Protect the security and integrity of our services
• Comply with legal obligations where applicable

We do not sell personal information.

7. Cookies / Analytics

In production, the website may use Vercel Analytics to understand aggregated traffic and performance. Depending on configuration and your region, this may involve cookies or similar technologies. We do not currently operate advertising trackers or marketing pixels on the public site based on the current codebase.

Admin authentication uses cookies solely for staff access to internal tools. Those cookies are not used for public parent accounts on the website.

8. Service Providers

We use service providers to host and deliver the website (for example, hosting and analytics infrastructure). These providers process information only as needed to provide their services to us, subject to their own terms and privacy practices.

9. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy (such as responding to an email or operating the site), unless a longer period is required by law. Specific retention schedules for a future mobile app will be defined before those features launch.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the nature of the information we handle. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. International Users / Transfers

TalkPebble may be accessed from different countries. If you access the site from outside the location where our servers or service providers operate, your information may be processed in other countries. Those countries may have different data-protection laws than your own.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, contact us at info@talkpebble.com. We may need to verify your request before responding.

13. Third-Party Links

Our website may link to third-party sites (for example, professional resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Review their policies before providing information to them.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the website after updates means you accept the revised policy.
