Privacy Policy

Built by parents, for parents. Your family's privacy is sacred.

Last updated: September 2025

The Simple Version

What parents actually want to know

We built ParentAgent™ because we're parents too. Here's exactly what we do with your family's information:

What We Do With Your Emails

Non-kid emails: Deleted immediately. We don't even read store promotions, work emails, or adult social stuff.
School/activity emails: We extract the important info (pajama day, field trip, etc.) and remove all personal details.
Your personal info: Never stored permanently. Teacher names become `<teacher_name>`, your info gets removed.

What We Keep vs. What We Delete

IMMEDIATELY DELETED

  • • Your actual emails (after processing)
  • • Store promotions and adult-only content
  • • Work emails, personal correspondence
  • • Any email not related to your kids

ANONYMIZED & KEPT

  • • Event patterns: "Field trip permission slip due Friday"
  • • Timing patterns: "Pajama day announcements come on Mondays"
  • • School communication styles (helps us get better)

Your Rights (The Important Stuff)

You Control Everything:

We Promise:
