PRIVACY POLICY

International Parenting & Health Institute (IPHI)
Effective Date: October 3, 2026
Last Updated: October 3, 2026

The International Parenting & Health Institute (“IPHI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit ParentingHealthInstitute.com, submit a form, communicate with us, enroll in one of our programs, or otherwise interact with our services.

By using our website or services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with IPHI, we may collect the following categories of information.

Information You Provide to Us

You may provide information such as:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Mailing address
  • Telephone number
  • Program or course interests
  • Enrollment information
  • Information submitted through contact, application, enrollment, or other website forms

  • Other information you voluntarily provide

Students may submit case studies or educational assignments involving third parties. Students are instructed to protect the privacy of individuals discussed in their work, including by removing identifying information or using changed names where appropriate.

Payment Information

IPHI’s online courses and certification programs are hosted through the third-party learning platform Teachable.

Payments made through Teachable are processed through Teachable’s payment infrastructure, which uses Stripe-powered payment services. IPHI does not directly collect or store complete payment-card numbers through ParentingHealthInstitute.com.

Teachable and its payment providers may collect payment, billing, transaction, tax, and related information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

Teachable states that information associated with participation in creator content may include courses enrolled in, progress, test results, and certifications, and that third-party payment gateways process payments through its platform. Teachable

  • Pages viewed
  • Referring pages or websites
  • Date and time of visits
  • Website interactions
  • Session and usage information
  • Advertising or campaign attribution information
  • Cookie and similar technology identifiers, depending on your consent choices

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

IPHI uses cookies and similar technologies for website functionality, analytics, advertising measurement, and other features.

Our website uses Complianz as a consent-management tool. Depending on applicable settings and your choices, visitors may be offered options to:

Accept optional cookies, Deny non-essential cookies, or Manage Preferences by category.

Our consent categories include:

  • Functional — technologies necessary for the website to operate and provide requested functionality
  • Statistics — technologies that help us understand website usage and improve our services
  • Marketing — technologies used for advertising measurement, campaign effectiveness, and advertising-related functionality

You may change your cookie preferences after making an initial choice through the cookie-preference controls available on our website.

For more detailed information about cookies and services used on this website, please see our Cookie Policy, available through our website footer.

4. Analytics and Advertising

We use Google Analytics and may use Google Ads and related Google advertising and measurement technologies.

Depending on your consent choices and our technical configuration, these technologies may be used to understand website traffic, measure interactions, attribute conversions, evaluate advertising campaigns, and support advertising-related functionality.

Google’s Consent Mode allows Analytics and advertising technologies to adjust their behavior according to consent signals received from a website’s consent-management system. The precise information transmitted can differ depending on the consent configuration and whether consent has been granted. Google Help

We may also use technologies or integrations associated with Facebook and Instagram for website, social-media, advertising, or measurement functionality.

5. Third-Party Services

We use third-party providers to operate portions of our website and services. Depending on how you interact with IPHI, these may include:

  • Teachable for course hosting, enrollment, student accounts, and related educational services
  • Stripe-powered payment services through Teachable
  • Google Analytics
  • Google Ads and related Google services
  • Google Maps
  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • Website hosting, security, email, form, analytics, and technical-service providers

These providers may process information on our behalf or, in some circumstances, for their own purposes under their respective privacy policies.

We encourage you to review the privacy practices of third-party services you choose to use.

6. We Do Not Sell Personal Information

IPHI does not sell personal information for money.

We do not provide personal information to unrelated third parties in exchange for monetary payment.

Some privacy laws use terms such as “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” more broadly than their ordinary meanings and may classify certain advertising-related transfers or technologies differently. Where applicable, we provide consent or privacy controls intended to allow visitors to manage non-essential advertising and tracking technologies.

7. Global Privacy Control and Privacy Signals

Our website is configured through our consent-management system to respect supported Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals and privacy preferences where applicable.

GPC is a browser-based signal through which a visitor can communicate certain privacy preferences automatically.

We may also recognize supported Do Not Track signals through our consent-management configuration. Because legal treatment and technical support for these signals varies among browsers, technologies, and jurisdictions, their effect may differ.

8. Legal Bases for Processing for EEA and UK Visitors

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), UK GDPR, or similar law applies, we process personal information under one or more applicable legal bases, including:

  • Consent, where you have given permission for a particular use
  • Contract, where processing is necessary to provide a program or service you requested
  • Legitimate interests, where appropriate and where those interests are not overridden by your rights
  • Legal obligation, where processing is required by law

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent, subject to applicable law.

9. International Data Transfers

IPHI is based in the United States and serves an international community.

If you access our services from outside the United States, your information may be processed or stored in the United States or other countries in which IPHI’s service providers operate.

Those countries may have privacy laws different from the laws where you live.

Where applicable law requires specific safeguards for international transfers, IPHI and/or the relevant service provider will rely on an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism or other legally permitted basis for the transfer.

10. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing educational programs and student support, maintaining appropriate educational and certification records, fulfilling contractual obligations, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and satisfying legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory requirements.

Retention periods therefore vary depending on the type of information and why we maintain it.

For example, information associated with an active student may generally be retained while the individual participates in a program and afterward when reasonably necessary to maintain appropriate educational, certification, business, or legal records.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or otherwise securely dispose of it as appropriate.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply to you, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:

  • Request access to personal information we maintain about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of certain information
  • Request information about how your information is collected, used, or disclosed
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Opt out of certain advertising-related processing where applicable
  • Request portability of certain information
  • Appeal certain decisions concerning a privacy request where applicable
  • Lodge a complaint with an applicable data-protection authority

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions.

To exercise an applicable privacy right, contact us at info@parentinghealthinstitute.com.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights provided by applicable law.

12. California Privacy Rights

California residents may have additional rights under California privacy law, depending on whether a particular law applies to IPHI and the information or processing involved.

These rights may include rights to know, access, correct, or delete certain personal information and rights relating to certain uses or disclosures of personal information.

California law can define “sale” and “sharing” more broadly than ordinary commercial usage, particularly in connection with cross-context behavioral advertising. Where legally required, applicable choices may be exercised through the privacy and cookie controls available on our website or by contacting us.

IPHI does not discriminate against individuals for exercising applicable privacy rights.

13. Children’s Privacy

IPHI’s certification programs and professional educational programs are intended for individuals 18 years of age or older.

We do not knowingly solicit enrollment in these programs from children under 18.

If we learn that we have collected personal information directly from a child in circumstances where parental consent or another legal basis was required and was not obtained, we will take appropriate steps consistent with applicable law.

14. Health Information

IPHI provides professional education related to parenting, pregnancy, postpartum health, nutrition, sleep, wellness, and related subjects.

ParentingHealthInstitute.com is not intended as a patient portal, and IPHI does not ask website visitors to submit personal medical records or protected health information for healthcare treatment through the website.

Students completing educational assignments or case studies are expected to protect the privacy of individuals discussed in those materials and avoid unnecessary identifying information.

IPHI is an educational organization and does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or individualized medical care through this website.

15. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

16. Email Communications

If you receive marketing or promotional email from IPHI, you may unsubscribe by using the unsubscribe mechanism included in the communication where available.

We may still send non-promotional communications when reasonably necessary to administer an enrollment, program, transaction, certification, account, or other existing relationship.

17. Links and Embedded Third-Party Content

Our website may contain links to or embedded content from third-party websites, social-media platforms, maps, videos, or other services.

Interacting with third-party content may allow the third party to receive information about your interaction, subject to your consent choices and the third party’s technology and privacy practices.

IPHI is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites or services.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services, technology, business practices, or legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. If required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent for material changes.

We encourage visitors to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

19. Accessibility

IPHI is committed to making its website and privacy information accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
