Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Faithful Way Homeschool Solutions ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what minimal information we collect when you visit our website https://fwhomeschoolsolutions.com/ and use our services.

By using our website and services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

Personal Information You Provide

We only collect information that you voluntarily provide to us:

• Contact Form: When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, subject, and message. This information is processed through Formspree and sent to our email.
• Appointment Scheduling: When you schedule an appointment through Calendly, that service collects your scheduling information according to their own privacy policy. We receive appointment details necessary to provide services.
• Parent Support Sessions: During sessions, you may share details about your homeschool situation, children's ages/grades, curriculum preferences, educational goals, and challenges. This information is used solely to provide support services.
• Payment Information: All payment processing is handled directly by third-party processors (Stripe, PayPal, Square). We do not collect, store, or have access to your complete payment card details.

Information We Do NOT Collect

Unlike many websites, we do NOT:

• Use Google Analytics or other tracking services
• Set cookies (except those set by third-party services like Calendly)
• Collect IP addresses or detailed usage logs
• Track your browsing behavior across our site
• Use advertising networks or remarketing

Free Tools - Complete Privacy

Important: All of our free tools (lesson generator, worksheet generator, schedule builder, etc.) operate entirely within your browser using client-side JavaScript. This means:

• Data you enter is processed locally on your device only
• NOTHING is transmitted to or stored on our servers
• We have zero access to your tool data
• Data is stored only in your browser's local storage (which you control and can clear at any time)
• Your work is completely private to you

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide Services: Deliver parent support sessions, create custom curriculum, and fulfill service requests
• Communication: Respond to inquiries, send appointment confirmations, provide session summaries and follow-up materials
• Payment Processing: Process payments for services through secure third-party processors
• Improve Our Services: Analyze usage patterns to enhance website functionality and service quality
• Legal Compliance: Comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes
• Marketing: Send occasional updates about services (you can opt-out at any time)

How We Share Your Information

We do NOT sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone.

Third-Party Services

When you use certain features of our website, your information is handled by third-party services:

• Formspree: Processes contact form submissions and sends them to our email
• Calendly: Handles appointment scheduling according to their privacy policy
• Payment Processors: Stripe, PayPal, and Square process payments directly - we never see your full payment card details
• GitHub Pages: Hosts our website (minimal logging by GitHub)

Each of these services has their own privacy policies governing how they handle your data.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information only if required by law, such as in response to valid legal processes (subpoenas, court orders) or requests from government authorities.

With Your Consent

We will only share your information with third parties when you explicitly request it, such as when asking us to coordinate with other educational service providers.

Cookies and Tracking

Our website does not use cookies for tracking or analytics.

The only cookies that may be set on your device come from third-party services we use:

• Calendly: May set cookies when you use the appointment scheduling widget
• Formspree: May set minimal cookies for form spam prevention

We do NOT use:

• Google Analytics or similar tracking services
• Advertising cookies
• Social media tracking pixels
• Remarketing or retargeting cookies

You can manage cookies through your browser settings, though this website will function normally even with all cookies blocked.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information:

• Website Security: Our website is served over HTTPS (SSL/TLS encryption)
• Payment Security: All payment processing is handled by PCI-compliant third-party processors (Stripe, PayPal, Square)
• Email Security: Contact forms are processed securely through Formspree
• Minimal Data Collection: The less data we collect, the less there is to protect

Important: Because we don't maintain a database or collect extensive user data, there is minimal information stored on our systems that could be compromised. Your free tool data is stored only on your own device.

Data Retention

We retain only the information necessary to provide services and comply with legal requirements:

• Contact Form Messages: Stored in our email inbox and handled according to standard email retention practices
• Client Session Notes: Information from parent support sessions is typically retained for 3-5 years for continuity of care
• Payment Records: Financial transaction records (handled by payment processors) are retained for 7 years for tax compliance

Children's Privacy

Our services are designed for parents and homeschool educators, not for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Parent Support Services: Information about children (ages, grade levels, educational needs) is collected from parents for the purpose of providing homeschool support services. We work exclusively with parents, not directly with students.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (curriculum providers, educational resources, etc.). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

AI Tools Disclosure

As disclosed in our Terms of Service, we may use AI-assisted tools to help create curriculum materials, lesson plans, and other educational resources.

Privacy Considerations:

• Client information shared during sessions is not used to train AI models
• Personal identifying information is removed before using AI tools for content generation
• All AI-generated content is reviewed and customized by us before delivery

• Right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold
