Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 13, 2026

Plain-language summary

Screen Time Talk is an informational website. We do not have accounts, newsletters, or contact forms, and we do not ask you for your name, email address, or other direct identifiers. We do use standard server logs and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand overall site usage and improve the website.

Scope

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you visit screentimetalk.org (the “Site”), why it is processed, and what choices you have.

Information processed automatically

Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics)

We use web analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to measure traffic and understand how the Site is used (for example, which pages are visited and how visitors navigate between pages).

Google Analytics website tags use first-party cookies to distinguish unique users and sessions.

Depending on configuration, analytics may process technical and usage data such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from network information, device/browser information, referral source, and interaction patterns.

Cookies and similar technologies

If analytics is enabled, analytics cookies may be set in your browser (for example, Google describes the “_ga” cookie as used by Google Analytics to distinguish visitors, with a typical duration of 2 years).

We do not use analytics cookies for advertising, remarketing, or cross-site behavioral targeting.

Server logs and security

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure automatically records standard server logs when you request pages. These logs may include IP address, date/time of access, requested URL, and user-agent information, and are used for security, reliability, and troubleshooting.

Information we do not collect through the Site

  • No account registration or login information.
  • No contact forms or newsletter sign-ups.
  • No payments or billing data.
  • No uploads of documents or media from visitors.
  • No intentional collection of children’s personal information through forms or accounts.

How we use information

We use the limited information described above to:

  • Understand overall usage and improve content and navigation.
  • Maintain site performance and availability.
  • Detect, prevent, and respond to abuse or security incidents.

Sharing and third-party services

Analytics providers

When enabled, analytics data is processed by our analytics provider(s) (for example, Google Analytics) as part of providing the analytics service.

Hosting provider

Our hosting provider may process server logs and related operational data as part of hosting the Site. We do not authorize our hosting provider to use this data for marketing to you.

Your choices

  • Cookie controls: You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings (note that blocking cookies may affect how analytics measures usage).
  • Analytics opt-out: Google provides an opt-out add-on for Google Analytics in some browsers: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
  • Privacy tools: Many browsers and extensions offer anti-tracking features that can limit analytics scripts and cookies.

Legal bases (where applicable)

Where required by law, we will request your consent before enabling non-essential analytics cookies. We may process strictly necessary technical data (like server logs) to operate and secure the Site.

Data retention

Server logs are retained for a limited period as needed for security and operations, and analytics retention depends on the settings in the analytics service. We aim to keep data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

Do Not Sell / Share (California)

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for parents, caregivers, and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the Site, and we do not provide accounts or forms intended for children to submit information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

Contact

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, you may contact us at: privacy@screentimetalk.org. (If you email us, we will receive your email address and the contents of your message.)

Bottom line: We don’t run accounts or collect information via forms. We use standard server logs and (if enabled) analytics to understand traffic and improve the Site.
