Google Advertising Cookies
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on a visitor’s previous visits to Flexible Roots or other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve personalized advertisements based on visitors’ activity on Flexible Roots and other websites. Google may also use cookies and similar technologies to measure advertising performance, limit how often advertisements appear, and prevent fraud.
Visitors may manage or opt out of personalized advertising through Google’s Ads Settings. Visitors may also learn about other advertising opt-out options through the Digital Advertising Alliance at aboutads.info.
Flexible Roots may work with additional third-party advertising vendors or networks. These providers may use cookies and similar technologies according to their own privacy policies and may offer separate options for managing personalized advertising.
Managing Cookies
Visitors can manage their cookie preferences through the cookie controls displayed on Flexible Roots. Visitors may also adjust their browser settings to block, restrict, or delete cookies.
Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality, embedded videos, personalized content, and other features.
Email Communications
Visitors may choose to subscribe to newsletters, updates, or other email communications from Flexible Roots. When a visitor subscribes, Flexible Roots may collect the visitor’s name, email address, subscription preferences, and information about interactions with those emails.
Flexible Roots may use an email service provider to deliver messages and measure email performance, including whether an email was opened or a link was clicked.
Visitors may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of each marketing email. Flexible Roots may still send non-promotional messages when necessary to respond to an inquiry, complete a transaction, deliver a requested resource, or provide important service-related information.
Flexible Roots will not automatically subscribe visitors to marketing emails solely because a visitor submitted a contact form, left a comment, or completed a purchase unless the visitor separately agreed to receive marketing communications.
Comments and User-Submitted Content
Flexible Roots may allow visitors to submit comments, messages, reviews, or other content. Information submitted publicly may be visible to other visitors and may be indexed by search engines.
Visitors should avoid including sensitive personal information in comments or other public submissions. Flexible Roots may review, moderate, edit, or remove submitted content that is unlawful, inappropriate, misleading, promotional, abusive, or inconsistent with website policies.
To help prevent spam and misuse, Flexible Roots and its service providers may collect technical information associated with a submission, such as an IP address, browser information, device information, and submission time.
By submitting content to Flexible Roots, visitors confirm that they have the right to share that content and that the content does not violate another person’s privacy, copyright, trademark, or other legal rights.
Data Retention and Security
Flexible Roots retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, provide requested services, maintain business and transaction records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations.
The length of time information is retained may vary depending on the type of information, how it was collected, why it is needed, and the requirements of third-party service providers. Visitors may request deletion of certain personal information by contacting flexibleroots@gmail.com. Some information may be retained when required for legal, security, accounting, fraud-prevention, or legitimate business purposes.
Flexible Roots uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Third-party providers used by Flexible Roots maintain their own security practices and retention policies. Flexible Roots is not responsible for the security practices of services that it does not directly control.

Children’s Privacy
Flexible Roots provides homeschooling information and resources for parents, caregivers, and educators. The website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13.
Flexible Roots does not knowingly request or collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13. Children under 13 should not submit contact forms, subscribe to newsletters, create accounts, leave comments, make purchases, or otherwise provide personal information through the website.
If Flexible Roots learns that personal information has been collected from a child under 13 without appropriate parental consent, reasonable steps will be taken to delete that information. A parent or legal guardian who believes that a child has provided personal information through Flexible Roots may contact flexibleroots@gmail.com to request its removal.
Parents and legal guardians are encouraged to supervise children’s online activities and help children understand when it is appropriate to provide personal information online.
External Links and Embedded Content
Flexible Roots may contain links to third-party websites, products, services, and social media platforms. Flexible Roots is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, availability, or security of third-party websites. Visitors should review the privacy policies and terms of any external website they visit.
Flexible Roots may also display embedded content, including YouTube videos, social media posts, images, and other material provided by third parties. Embedded content may function as though the visitor accessed the third-party website directly.
Third-party providers may collect information about visitors, use cookies or similar technologies, track interactions with embedded content, and associate those interactions with an existing account held by the visitor.
Visitors can limit some of this data collection by adjusting cookie preferences, signing out of third-party accounts, changing browser settings, or avoiding interaction with embedded content.

Flexible Roots is based in the United States. If visitors access the website from outside the United States, personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other countries where Flexible Roots and its service providers operate.
Privacy and data-protection laws in those countries may differ from the laws in a visitor’s location. By using the website or providing personal information, visitors acknowledge that their information may be processed outside their country of residence, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Third-party providers used by Flexible Roots, including website hosting, analytics, advertising, email, payment, social media, and video providers, may process information from locations around the world according to their own privacy policies and data-transfer practices.
