Some cookies are necessary for the website to work. Other cookies, such as those used for analytics or advertising, may be used only where the required consent has been given.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on Anxious Parenthood may include embedded content from other websites, such as videos, images, social media posts or other external content.
Embedded content behaves in a similar way to visiting the external website directly. These third-party websites may collect information about you, use cookies or similar technologies, track your interaction with the embedded content, and monitor your activity if you are logged into their services.
We do not control how these external websites collect or use your information. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies for further information about their data practices.
Who we share your data with
Anxious Parenthood does not sell your personal information.
Personal information may be processed by service providers that help us operate and maintain the website, where necessary. These may include website hosting, website security and cookie consent management services.
If you choose to contact us by email, your message will be processed by our email service provider so that we can receive and respond to your enquiry.
If analytics, advertising or embedded third-party services are used on this website, those providers may collect or process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and your cookie consent choices, where applicable.
We will update this Privacy Policy if the services we use change.
How long we retain your data
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining the website, meeting legal obligations and resolving disputes where necessary.
If you contact us by email, we may retain your correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry and keep a record of our communications.
If comments are enabled on the website, comments and related information may be retained indefinitely unless removal is requested or there is another reason to delete them.
The retention period may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it is held.
What rights you have over your data
Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccurate information, request its deletion or restriction of processing, and object to certain uses of your information.
Where we rely on consent to process your personal information, you can withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to receive your personal information in a portable format.
To exercise your rights or ask a question about how your personal information is handled, please contact us at anna@anxiousparenthood.com .
