Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 1, 2024

1. Who We Are

ParentNote ("we," "us," or "our") is a free web tool that helps parents generate professional school communication messages. Our website is located at parent-note.com. You can contact us at the address listed on our Contact page.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

ParentNote is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not:

• Create user accounts or require registration
• Store your name, your child's name, or any information you enter into the generator form
• Log or retain the content of generated notes on our servers
• Collect email addresses
• Sell personal data to any third party

3. Local Storage

ParentNote uses your browser's local storage to save your recent note history. This data is stored entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data.

4. Cookies

We use cookies to improve your experience on our site. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. Here is how we use them:

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the basic functionality of the website. They do not collect personal information and cannot be turned off.

Analytics Cookies

We may use anonymous analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site — for example, which note types are most popular and how long visitors spend on the page. This data is aggregated and anonymized. No individual is identified.

Advertising Cookies

We participate in the Google AdSense advertising program. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. These cookies help Google display ads that may be relevant to you.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or aboutads.info.

5. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

ParentNote uses Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service operated by Google LLC ("Google"), to display advertisements on our site. Google AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website and other websites on the internet.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your browser based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ad Settings.

We do not have access to or control over cookies that are used by Google or other third-party advertisers. Third-party ad vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visit to our website. For more information, please review Google's Privacy Policy.

6. AI Message Generation

ParentNote uses the Anthropic Claude AI API to generate messages. When you click "Generate Note," the details you entered in the form are sent to the Anthropic API to generate your note. This transmission is subject to Anthropic's Privacy Policy. We do not retain any record of this data on our own servers.

7. Children's Privacy

ParentNote is intended for use by adults (parents and guardians). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our service, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete it.

While the tool is used to communicate about children, no personally identifiable information about minors is stored by ParentNote.

8. Your Rights

Because ParentNote does not collect or store personal data, there is no data to access, modify, or delete from our systems. For data stored in your browser's local storage, you may delete it at any time through your browser settings.

If you are in the European Economic Area, California, or another jurisdiction with specific data rights, and you believe we may hold any of your personal data, please contact us.

9. Links to Other Websites

Our site may contain links to third-party websites. These links are provided for your convenience and do not signify our endorsement of those sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
