Privacy Policy

Last updated 08/04/2025

Hey there, Homeschool Family! 👋

We know reading privacy policies is about as fun as teaching long division to a cranky 8-year-old. But just like you protect your kids, we protect your data. So grab that coffee (we know you need it) and let's talk about how we keep your information safe.

The Short Version (The "Mom Brain" Summary)

  • We only collect what we need to help you find great homeschool resources

  • We never sell your data (because that's just icky)

  • You can ask us to delete your info anytime

  • We protect your data like we protect our curriculum stash

What Information We Collect

When You Join Our Loop:

  • Your name (so we know what to call you!)

  • Email address (for sending you awesome provider matches)

  • Location/Zip code (to find providers near you)

  • Kids' ages/grades (to suggest age-appropriate resources)

  • What you're looking for (math help? art classes? sanity?)

For Our Amazing Providers:

  • All the above, plus...

  • Business information

  • Qualifications and experience

  • Background check status (safety first!)

  • Payment information (through our secure processor Stripe)

How We Use Your Information

Think of us as that helpful homeschool mom who always knows who to recommend. We use your info to:

  • Match you with perfect providers

  • Send updates about new resources in your area

  • Process payments (providers only)

  • Keep the bad apples out (safety screening)

  • Make The Loop better based on what families need

Who We Share With (Spoiler: Not Many!)

We ONLY share your information with:

  • Providers you choose to contact (just your first name and message)

  • Our tech partners who help run the site (like our email service)

  • Law enforcement (only if legally required - hasn't happened yet!)

We NEVER:

  • Sell your information

  • Share your kids' details publicly

  • Let providers contact you without permission

  • Trade your data for curriculum discounts (tempting, but no)

Your Rights (You're the Boss!)

Just like you're the principal of your homeschool, you're in charge of your data:

  • See it: Ask what info we have about you

  • Fix it: Correct any mistakes

  • Delete it: We'll remove your data if you ask

  • Take it: Download your info to keep

  • Stop emails: Unsubscribe anytime (but we'll miss you!)

Keeping Kids Safe 🛡️

If you're under 13, please have your grown-up create your account. We take children's privacy seriously and comply with COPPA (that's the law that protects kids online).

Cookies (The Digital Kind, Not Chocolate Chip)

We use cookies to:

  • Remember you're logged in

  • See which pages help families most

  • Keep your preferences saved

You can turn cookies off, but the site might work about as well as a science experiment without instructions.

Security (Fort Knox for Your Data)

We protect your information with:

  • Encryption (fancy computer locks)

  • Secure servers (digital safes)

  • Regular security updates

  • Limited access (only essential team members)

  • Background checks for our team

Changes to This Policy

Sometimes we need to update this policy (like when we add cool new features). We'll email you about any big changes - we promise it'll be easier to understand than your state's homeschool laws!

Remember: We're building this FOR homeschoolers BY homeschoolers. Your privacy matters to us because we're part of this community too.
