3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide for limited, specific purposes:

Event details you submit (such as event name, date, time, location, and description) may be displayed publicly on MNBirthCalendar.org so community members can find and attend these events.

To respond to your messages.
If you contact us through a form, we use your information to reply and address your questions or requests.

To share updates about Aldea and the calendar (optional).
We may add the email address you provide (for example, when you submit an event) to Aldea’s email list so we can:

Share updates about the calendar and related community initiatives

Occasionally share information about Aldea’s maternal health work in Minnesota

You can unsubscribe from these emails at any time by using the “unsubscribe” link in the email or by contacting us at info@aldeahealth.com. We will not sell or rent your email address to any third parties.

4. Information Sharing

We take your privacy seriously. We:

• Do not sell or rent your personal information.

• Do not share your contact information (such as your email address or phone number) with partner organizations or other third parties for their own use.

We may share information only in limited situations:

• Service providers and website hosting.
  Our website is hosted on Wix. They may process data as needed to operate and secure the website. We do not use Google Analytics or other tracking/analytics tools on this site.

• Legal requirements.
  We may disclose information if required to do so by law, or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to:

  • Comply with legal obligations

  • Protect and defend our rights or property

  • Protect the safety of users or the public

5. Cookies and Tracking

MNBirthCalendar.org is hosted on Wix. Wix may use basic cookies or similar technologies necessary to operate the site (for example, for security or basic functionality).

• We do not use Google Analytics.

• We do not use advertising trackers or embedded third‑party analytics tools.

• We do not embed external content (such as YouTube videos or maps) that would set additional third‑party cookies.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling certain cookies may affect how the site functions.

6. Children’s Privacy

This site is intended for a general audience, including pregnant and parenting people, but is not directed specifically to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at info@aldeahealth.com, and we will take steps to delete that information.

7. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

• Event submissions and related contact information
  We generally keep event submission details, including the contact information associated with that event, for approximately 90–180 days after the date of the event. This allows us to manage the listing, handle updates, and maintain accurate records while the event is current or just concluded.

• Contact form messages
  We may retain contact form messages for a similar period to follow up on inquiries and maintain basic records of communication.

After this period, information may be deleted, anonymized, or archived in a way that no longer identifies you.

You can request deletion of your information at any time (see below).
