When you complete the curriculum finder:

• Your responses and personalized recommendations are saved at a unique URL (e.g., homeschooltools.net/advice/abc123)
• Anyone with this URL can view your results
• You can share this URL with family, friends, or your homeschool community
• You can delete your results at any time using the "Delete these results" link at the bottom of the page
• Deleted results cannot be viewed by anyone, but the data remains in our system for statistical purposes

When you provide your email address:

• I'll send you the curriculum recommendations you requested
• I may occasionally send you updates about new curricula, features, or homeschool resources
• I will never share your email with third parties
• You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email

I use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics service that:

• Does NOT use cookies
• Does NOT track you across websites
• Does NOT collect any personal information
• Does NOT sell your data
• Shows me only aggregate statistics like:
  • Which pages are visited
  • Which buttons are clicked
  • Where visitors come from (e.g., Facebook, Google)
  • General location (country/region only)

This helps me understand what's working and improve the tool for everyone.

Homeschool Tools offers a public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that AI assistants (such as Claude or ChatGPT) can use to search our curriculum database. When an assistant queries it on your behalf:

• Search parameters received: The server receives only the search criteria the assistant sends (grade level, subjects, worldview, budget, learning style, special needs, and additional context). No conversation history or chat logs are sent to or stored by Homeschool Tools.
• Stateless processing: Each request is processed independently and not stored. There are no user accounts, sessions, or query logs on our end.
• Rate limiting: To prevent abuse, we track IP addresses in memory for rate limiting purposes. This data is not persisted to disk or any database and is cleared when the server restarts.
• Referral tracking: Links from AI assistants to HomeschoolTools.net include a ?ref= parameter identifying the assistant type (for example, ?ref=claude-code), never an individual. This is tracked by Plausible Analytics (our cookie-free, privacy-friendly analytics service described above) and is not tied to any individual user.
• No personal data collected: The MCP endpoint does not require authentication, does not set cookies, and does not collect or store any personally identifiable information.
