Privacy Policy

Account Information: If you create an account, we collect your name and email address to provide you with personalized features such as saving decisions to folders and receiving notifications about new decisions.

Authentication Data: When you sign in using Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google. We do not receive or store your Google password.

Usage Data: We may collect anonymous usage data such as pages visited, search queries, and time spent on the Site. This helps us improve our service.

Cookies: We use essential cookies to maintain your session and preferences. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

Billing and Subscription Information: When you subscribe to a paid plan, our payment processor, Stripe, collects your payment card details directly. We do not receive or store your full card number. We retain a Stripe customer identifier, your subscription plan and status, your billing email, and, where Stripe provides it, your card brand, the last four digits of your card, and your billing history.

AI and Search Queries: the search terms and questions you submit, including to our AI-assisted research features, together with any answers you choose to save or flag.

Transactional Emails: We may send you transactional emails related to your account, such as notifications about new decisions. These are not marketing communications.

New Decision Notifications: When you create an account, you will automatically receive email notifications when new BSEA decisions and rulings are posted to the Site. You can unsubscribe from these notifications at any time using the unsubscribe link included in each email.

Newsletter:We may offer an optional email newsletter. Subscribing is voluntary, and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email. We deliver our emails (decision alerts and the newsletter) through Resend, a third-party email delivery provider that processes your email address to send our messages. We do not use tracking pixels to detect when you open an email, and we do not route email links through third-party click tracking. Links in our emails may include tags that our own website analytics reads, in aggregate, to understand which content is useful. Resend's privacy practices are governed by its own privacy policy.

Some features of the Site let you ask questions and receive AI-generated answers about special education law (for example, our Ask and AI search tools). When you use these features, the question or search terms you submit are sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, to generate a response.

What we collect: the questions and prompts you submit, the answers generated for you, and any answers you choose to save to your dashboard or flag as incorrect. We use this to provide the feature, to let you revisit saved answers, and to improve the quality of our service.

AI provider:we use Anthropic's API to generate answers. Under Anthropic's API terms, the questions you submit through the Site are not used to train Anthropic's models. Anthropic's handling of data is governed by its own terms and privacy policy.

Please do not enter sensitive personal information: our AI and search tools are designed for legal research, not for storing personal details. Please do not enter a child's name, contact information, or other identifying personal information about a student into a search box or AI prompt. AI answers are generated by automated systems, may be incomplete or inaccurate, and do not constitute legal advice. See our Terms of Service for more information.

We offer a Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector that lets AI assistants such as Claude run read-only legal research over our public corpus of special education administrative decisions (see our connector documentation). The connector reads only public, already-published decisions and rulings; it does not create, modify, delete, or transmit data on your behalf. Access to the connector may be offered on its own or as part of a paid plan.

What we collect through the connector: the search terms and query parameters you send, and your IP address. We use these to return results, to rate-limit and secure the service, and to understand usage in aggregate. We do not access, query, or store your AI assistant's memory, chat history, conversation summaries, or any files you have uploaded to it, and we do not collect the surrounding conversation.

Authentication data: if a future version of the connector requires you to sign in, we store only a securely hashed access token to maintain your session; we never receive your password. Query and IP logs are retained only as long as needed for security and service operation and are then deleted or aggregated.

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this Policy.

Account data: retained while your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete the associated personal information within 30 days, except where we must retain it to comply with law, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements, and except for copies that remain in routine backups for a limited period.

Saved AI answers: retained until you delete them or close your account.

Query, usage, and security logs: retained only as long as needed to operate and secure the service, and are then deleted or aggregated.

Billing records: retained as required for tax, accounting, and legal purposes.
