Privacy Policy

Happy Acorns ("Happy Acorns," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you register on our website, how we use and share it, how long we keep it, and the choices and rights you have. It applies to happyacorns.com and our registration forms.

1. Information we collect

When you complete our registration form, we collect the personal information you provide directly to us:

• Identifiers and contact details: first name, last name, email address, and phone number.
• Postal address: street address, city, state, and ZIP code.
• Consent records: the fact that you checked the consent box, plus the date, time, IP address, and the page/version of the consent language you agreed to (used to document your TCPA consent).
• Technical data: standard device and log information such as browser type and IP address, collected automatically to keep the site secure and working.

We do not knowingly collect information about your children through this form. The registration is completed by an adult parent or guardian about themselves.

2. How we use your information

We use the information you provide to:

• Send you a double opt-in verification email and confirm your registration;
• Send you enrollment information, news, updates, and marketing offers from Happy Acorns by email, phone call, and text message;
• Share your contact information with our marketing partners so they may contact you about relevant products and services, as described below and as you consented;
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support;
• Maintain records of your consent and opt-out choices; and
• Operate, secure, and improve our website and comply with our legal obligations.

3. How we share your information with marketing partners

When you check the consent box and verify your email, we share the contact data you provided (name, email, phone, and postal address) with our marketing partners — including family-services providers — so that they may contact you about relevant products and services for the marketing purposes you consented to. This sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising or for valuable consideration may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under certain U.S. state privacy laws.

We may also disclose information to service providers who process data on our behalf (such as email and hosting vendors), and where required to comply with law, enforce our Terms, or protect rights and safety. You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information at any time — see Your rights below.

4. Marketing consent, calls, and texts (TCPA)

By checking the consent box on the registration form, you agree that Happy Acorns and its marketing partners may contact you at the email address and phone number you provided — including marketing emails, phone calls, and text messages sent using automated technology and/or prerecorded or artificial voice messages — about relevant products and services. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency may vary.

• Email: you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any marketing email.
• Text messages: reply STOP to opt out, or HELP for help.
• Calls: tell the caller you wish to be removed, or contact us using the details below.

5. How long we keep your information

We keep the rest of your personal information for as long as needed to provide you with marketing communications and for legitimate business and legal purposes. When you opt out, we stop sending you marketing messages and retain only the minimal records needed to honor your request and meet our legal obligations.

6. Your privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA and other state laws)

Depending on where you live, including if you are a California resident under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), you may have the right to:

• Know / access: request the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you;
• Delete: request that we delete personal information we collected from you;
• Correct: request correction of inaccurate personal information;
• Opt out of sale or sharing: direct us not to sell or share your personal information, including for targeted advertising; and
• Non-discrimination: not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, including to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, email us at privacy@happyacorns.com or use the contact details below. We will verify and respond to your request as required by applicable law. You may also designate an authorized agent to act on your behalf.

7. Children's privacy — under-18 exclusion

8. How we protect your information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be communicated as required by law.
