Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

1. Overview

The Motherhood Brief ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding it. We keep this simple and honest — we're not in the business of selling your data.

2. Information We Collect

Email Address

If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is collected and stored by Beehiiv, our newsletter platform. We use it only to send you The Motherhood Brief newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time. Beehiiv's privacy policy governs how they handle your data.

Calculator Inputs

When you use our calculators, the numbers you enter are processed entirely in your browser. They are never sent to our servers and are not stored anywhere outside your device. We do not see or collect your financial information.

Analytics

We use Umami Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool, to understand how visitors use the site (page views, traffic sources, general usage patterns). Umami does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information. No data is shared with third-party advertising networks.

Browser Storage

We use your browser's localStorage to remember small preferences — for example, whether you've dismissed a newsletter prompt. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect only to:

  • Send you The Motherhood Brief newsletter (if you subscribed)
  • Understand how the site is being used so we can improve it

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Affiliate Links

This site contains affiliate links (including links to Amazon and Trust & Will). If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. Affiliate partners may use cookies to track referrals. We do not control the privacy practices of these third-party sites.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time (link in every email)
  • Request deletion of your email from our newsletter list
  • Clear your browser's localStorage at any time through your browser settings
