Children’s Privacy | Barnes Homeschool Partner

1. Intended audience

Barnes Homeschool Partner’s informational website is intended for parents, guardians, and other adults evaluating the proposed service. Calls to action describe the parent-facing experience. A child should not be asked to use this website independently or provide information through it.

2. What the public website does not do

It does not create parent or child accounts.
It does not collect names, ages, dates of birth, grade levels, school information, learning records, health details, photographs, voice, location, or contact information.
It does not offer chat, messaging, uploads, assessments, direct-child AI, or community features.
It does not use analytics, advertising technology, cookies, or third-party embeds.
It does not profile, target, or market to children.

Any learner names, profiles, progress displays, or family details shown in concept imagery are synthetic illustrations. They do not describe real children or live product records.

3. Please do not send child information

There is no form or monitored contact channel on this website. Do not try to provide a child’s personal, educational, behavioral, medical, disability, or other sensitive information through the website or through an unrelated channel.

Before any monitored contact method is published, BHP must establish how unexpected child information will be identified, restricted, escalated, deleted, and documented.

4. Parent control

The proposed product direction is adult-directed. A parent or guardian would choose the materials, enter any permitted context, review suggestions, and decide what to use. Product language should not imply that BHP independently directs, evaluates, diagnoses, or communicates with a child.

5. Requirements before any learner-data feature

A future feature involving learner information must not inherit approval from this static website. At minimum, it requires a documented decision on:

The exact data fields, purpose, necessity, and less-invasive alternatives.
The intended age range, audience, account holder, and user experience.
Applicable children’s privacy, education, consumer, and state-law obligations.
Parental notice and consent where required, including how authority is verified and recorded.
Access, correction, export, deletion, retention, and account-closure behavior.
Security controls, provider access, data locations, incident response, and audit evidence.
Whether AI, profiling, recommendations, or automated decisions are involved and how an adult reviews them.
Qualified privacy and legal review of the exact implemented flow before activation.

6. No blanket compliance claim

This data-minimal boundary is not a blanket claim of compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, a state student-privacy law, or another legal framework. Whether a law applies depends on the actual operator, audience, service, data flows, contracts, providers, and jurisdictions.

7. Unexpected information and contact status

The website currently cannot accept a deletion or privacy request because no monitored channel is active and the site itself holds no submitted visitor record. Before any data-bearing feature opens, BHP must establish a real contact method, a verified response process, and instructions for handling an allegation that child information was received. See the Contact status page.

The Privacy Notice describes the site’s broader current data inventory. The Website Terms record the adult-directed and educational-use boundaries for this public site.
