Thank you for visiting The Pediatric Checkup with Dr. Watson (the "Website," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our Website, subscribe to our newsletter, or otherwise interact with us.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using this Website, or by clicking to accept or agree to these terms when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the Website.

2. Children's Privacy

This Website is intended for a general audience of parents and caregivers and is not directed to, or intended for use by, children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you are under the age of 18, please do not use the Website, submit any information through it, sign up for our newsletter, or post comments.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 18 without verified parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as soon as reasonably possible. If you believe a child under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the information in Section 8 below so we can address it.

3. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Information you provide directly. If you sign up for our newsletter, subscribe to updates, submit a comment, or correspond with us by email, we may collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.

• Automatically collected information. Like most websites, we (and our hosting platform, Wix) may automatically collect certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing activity on the Website, typically through cookies and similar tracking technologies.

• Cookies and similar technologies. Our Website is hosted on Wix, which may use cookies and comparable tools to operate the site, remember preferences, and gather analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings; please note that disabling cookies may affect how parts of the Website function.

4. Email Correspondence and Newsletter Sign-Ups

If you correspond with us by email, or sign up for our newsletter or mailing list, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address, and may respond to your inquiries or send you newsletter content, blog updates, or related communications. You may unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting us directly.

5. How We Use Your Information

We may use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Website;

• Send you the newsletter, blog updates, or respond to your correspondence;

• Understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve content and user experience;

• Comply with legal obligations and protect the security of the Website.

We do not sell your personal information.

6. How We Protect Your Information

We employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Third-Party Links and Services

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites, resources, or services (for example, sources we cite such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, HealthyChildren.org, the CDC, or Immunize.org), and is built and hosted using Wix, which has its own privacy practices. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

8. Your Choices and State Privacy Notice

You may choose not to provide certain information, though this may limit your ability to use some features of the Website (such as the newsletter). You may also request that we delete personal information you have provided to us by contacting us at the email below.

As of the date of this policy, Georgia has not enacted a comprehensive consumer privacy law comparable to laws in states like California or Virginia. Georgia does have a data breach notification statute (O.C.G.A. § 10-1-912), and we take reasonable steps consistent with that law to safeguard your information and to notify you in the event of a breach affecting your personal information, as required.

9. Medical Disclaimer

The content on this Website, including blog posts and any related podcast or video content, is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended as, and should not be relied upon as, personal medical advice, and does not replace consultation with your child's own pediatrician or healthcare provider.
It is the responsibility of the guardian to seek appropriate medical attention when they are concerned about their child

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
