Updated: July 15, 2026
Overview
This Privacy Notice explains how DaycareFacts.com collects, uses, and shares information when you use this website or contact us.
DaycareFacts.com is operated by Nicolaus Inc., doing business as D2CEBL, a Florida corporation.
Public records
DaycareFacts.com displays and summarizes childcare provider information from official state records and other public sources when available. Those records may include provider names, facility names, license numbers, addresses, inspection dates, inspection findings, source links, and related licensing information.
We use this information to help parents and caregivers find and understand public inspection records. Original official reports and licensing authority records should be treated as the controlling source.
Information you provide
If you contact us through the website, we may collect the information you submit, such as your name, email address, and message. We use contact submissions to respond to you, review correction requests, investigate data issues, fix bugs, and improve the website.
Do not submit confidential information, sensitive child information, health information, payment information, or anything you are not authorized to share.
Information collected automatically
Like many websites, DaycareFacts.com and its service providers may collect technical and usage information automatically. This may include IP address, browser type, device information, pages requested, referring pages, dates and times of visits, search or page URLs, error logs, and performance information.
The website may use Google Analytics for site measurement. Google explains how it uses information from sites and apps that use its services on its partner sites page and in the Google Privacy Policy.
Third-party services
We use third-party services to operate the website, process contact forms, measure usage, and host the site. These services may process information under their own privacy policies and security practices.
Current or planned third-party services include Formspree for form submissions, Google Analytics for site measurement, and DigitalOcean for hosting. You can review the Formspree Privacy Policy, Google Privacy Policy, and DigitalOcean Privacy Policy for more information.
How we use information
We may use information to:
- operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the website;
- respond to contact messages, correction requests, and feedback;
- review public-record issues and improve the accuracy of displayed information;
- understand site traffic, usage patterns, and performance; and
- comply with legal obligations and protect the website from misuse.
How we share information
We may share information with service providers that help us run the website, such as hosting, form-processing, analytics, infrastructure, security, and support providers. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, to investigate misuse, or as part of a business transfer involving the website.
We do not sell personal information for money. We do not accept payment from childcare providers to change inspection records, hide public records, or influence public-record summaries.
Cookies and choices
The website and third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies for analytics, security, performance, and basic site operation. You can use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Some browser settings may affect how websites work.
Google also offers a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Automated tools and LLMs
DaycareFacts.com may use automated tools, including deterministic software rules and, in the future, large language models or other AI systems, to synthesize data or other content based on official state reports and related records.
At this time, DaycareFacts.com does not use a large language model to generate public website content.
Retention
We keep contact submissions, technical logs, analytics information, and related records for as long as reasonably needed to operate, maintain, secure, improve, and document the website, respond to requests, and comply with legal obligations. When information is no longer needed, we may delete, anonymize, or aggregate it.
Children
DaycareFacts.com is intended for parents, caregivers, and other adults researching childcare information. It is not directed to children. Do not use the website to send us personal information about a child.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information handled through the website, but no website, network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your requests
You can contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you submitted through the website. We may need to verify your request and may retain information when needed for legal, security, recordkeeping, or operational reasons.
