Privacy policy

Updated November 15, 2026. Lighthouse Teens is a practical guide for parents, and we know the topics here are personal. We collect as little as we can, and we never sell or share information about the people who read this site.

What we collect

  • Basic, cookie-free visit counts. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies and without identifying you.
  • Google Analytics, only if you allow it. If you choose "Allow analytics," Google Analytics sets cookies to measure which pages are read and how people move through the site. It stays off until you allow it, and you can change your choice any time with the "Privacy choices" link at the bottom of every page. We've turned off Google's advertising features and Google Signals, and we don't link Analytics to any ad account.
  • Hosting logs. Our host, Cloudflare, processes technical information such as IP addresses to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.

What we don't do

  • We don't sell, rent, or share personal information, and we don't use it for advertising.
  • We don't ask you to create an account or tell us anything about your family.
  • We don't try to identify the people who visit.

Children

This site is written for parents and other adults. It isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.

Your choices

You can decline or withdraw consent for Google Analytics with the "Privacy choices" link, block cookies in your browser, or use Google's opt-out tools. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to know, delete, or limit the use of information about you. To ask a question about this policy or make a request, contact Jeremy Manné on LinkedIn.

We're not clinicians or doctors, and this practical guide isn't medical advice. For guidance about your teen, always talk with their doctor or therapist. If you're worried about their safety, call or text 988, or call 911.
