Children's Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Scope

TimberCraft Pro ("we," "our," or "us") is a professional carpentry and contracting company specializing in residential and commercial woodwork, custom cabinetry, and home renovations. This Children's Privacy Policy supplements our main Privacy Policy and explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information from children under the age of 13.

Our services and digital properties are designed for adult customers, business clients, and homeowners. We do not intentionally market to or collect personal information from children.

2. COPPA Compliance

We strictly adhere to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other applicable international and regional regulations regarding minors' data privacy. COPPA requires operators of websites and online services directed to children under 13 to provide privacy notices and obtain parental consent before collecting personal information. As TimberCraft Pro does not operate services directed at children, we have implemented safeguards to prevent the unintentional collection of such data.

3. Information We Do Not Collect from Children

Our website and digital platforms are not designed for, nor do they solicit, personal information from children under 13. We do not:

• Create user accounts for children
• Collect names, addresses, phone numbers, or email addresses from minors
• Use tracking technologies targeted at children's devices or browsers
• Market carpentry services, project estimates, or promotions to minors

4. Inadvertent Disclosure & Parental Controls

If we discover that a child under 13 has provided personal information without verifiable parental consent, we will take prompt steps to delete such information from our records and servers to the extent required by law.

Parents or guardians who believe their child has shared personal information with us are encouraged to contact us immediately using the information provided below. We will work with you to verify the data and ensure its secure removal.

5. How We Use Information (If Applicable)

In the rare instance that a child interacts with our digital properties under parental supervision (e.g., a family browsing project galleries together), any information shared is treated with the same high-security standards applied to all client data. We use information strictly for operational purposes, such as responding to project inquiries, fulfilling contracts, or providing customer support. We never sell, trade, or rent personal information to third parties.

6. Data Security & Retention

We employ industry-standard technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect all data in our possession. This includes encrypted communications, secure server infrastructure, and restricted access controls. Data collected inadvertently from minors is permanently deleted upon verification, in accordance with legal retention requirements.

7. Third-Party Services & Links

Our website may contain links to third-party platforms (e.g., social media, scheduling tools, or material suppliers). TimberCraft Pro is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites. We encourage parents to monitor their children's online activity and educate them about safe internet practices.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may revise this Children's Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Continued use of our services following such updates constitutes acknowledgment of the changes.
