The current research was carried out with the aim of knowing the set of effective factors in allowing parents to communicate with kindergartens (companies providing services), emphasizing the role of privacy for parents and children.

This research was conducted in 2 qualitative phases. First: A Meta-synthesis with a review of over 150 domestic and foreign articles, Second: Content analysis with semi-structured interviews with 25 professors, managers, and special customers of kindergartens in Guilan province. In phase 2, coding was done and the model obtained from phase 1 was analyzed using the fuzzy-Delphi method. The Kappa kohen coefficient was calculated to measure the reliability.

The indices of the model obtained from the Meta-synthesis phase of "Privacy concern", "Disposition toward privacy" and "Permission" together with a weight of 0.065 had the highest weight and the second rank was the index of "culture" with 0.062. In phase two, from the point of view of social presence managers and experts, "App permission concerns", "Previous online experience" and "Costs (intrusiveness)" were below average and should be removed from the resulting model. According to the Kappa-Cohen coefficient (0.795) and its significance level, according to research experts, the test has acceptable reliability in the fuzzy part. Also, in this phase, based on the opinion of experts, "Culture" was considered as an effective factor in the model.

After measuring the model obtained from the (Meta-synthesis phase (by experts and removing 4 rejected factors, the final model was obtained, and its quantitative test was suggested in future research.
