This website (childcare.care) is operated by Directory Platform Operations [OPERATOR] ("we", "us", or "our"), operating the Childcare verified directory platform.

2. No Tracking Cookies & Privacy by Default

We respect your privacy. Childcare does not use tracking cookies, cross-site trackers, or third-party behavioral profiling scripts. Browsing the directory and public licensing records is entirely anonymous.

3. Information We Collect

Location Searches: When you enter a city, ZIP code, or address into search, the query is processed solely to retrieve matching public license records within the selected radius. Search queries are not linked to your personal identity.

Device Geolocation: If you explicitly choose to use the "Allow precise location" button, your browser's Geolocation coordinates are used strictly in real-time to locate nearby listings. Location coordinates are never sold or retained.

Waitlist Notifications: If your city is not yet open and you submit your email address to the "Notify me when my city opens" waitlist, we store your email address and requested location solely for sending you an alert when verified licensing coverage opens in your area.

4. Public Licensing Records

Childcare publishes verified information derived directly from public licensing databases maintained by official municipal, state, and regulatory authorities. Inquiries regarding business records should be directed to the respective regulatory agency or to us for corrections.
