Privacy notice
Last updated 17 October 2026. Short version: we use your email to send you the free program, and nothing else. No ads, no selling, no trackers, no cookies.
Who we are
The Mentor Parent is run by a small team of researchers and parents. We are the controller of your personal data. Contact: hello@the-mentor-parent.com. Postal address: [to be added before launch].
What we collect
- Your email address (required) and first name (optional).
- A record of your consent: when you gave it, the exact wording you agreed to, which form you used, and a scrambled (hashed) version of your network address that cannot be turned back into the address.
- Your time zone offset, so lessons arrive in your morning.
- Which lessons we have sent you and when, and whether you unsubscribed.
We do not collect anything about your children. This website sets no cookies and loads no analytics or advertising scripts.
Why, and on what legal basis
We use this data only to send you the program you asked for, one lesson a day, and to honor an unsubscribe. The legal basis is your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). You can withdraw it at any time with one click in any email, which does not affect anything we sent before.
Who processes it
We host the website and store your data with Amazon Web Services, and send emails with Amazon Simple Email Service, in the United States (us-east-1). Amazon acts as our processor under its data processing terms. For people in the EU, UK and Switzerland, transfers to the United States rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the standard contractual clauses in Amazon's terms. We do not sell or share your data with anyone else.
How long we keep it
While you are subscribed, and until the program ends. If you unsubscribe, we keep only a minimal record that you opted out, so we never email you again by mistake. If you choose "delete my data", we erase your record entirely. Email logs at our provider expire on their own schedule.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its use, and to get a copy of it. The unsubscribe page lets you delete your data yourself. For anything else, email us and we will answer within one month. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office).
Changes
If we change how we use your data, we will update this page and, for anything significant, tell you by email before it applies.
