Privacy Policy
Last updated: 6 April 2026
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly: your name, email address, and account details via Clerk authentication. We also collect learning log entries, notes, and other content you create within Hearth.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your information is used to provide and improve the Service, including: displaying your learning logs, generating curriculum-aligned reports, and powering AI-enriched summaries at write-time. We do not sell your personal information.
3. AI Processing
When you save a learning log entry, it may be processed by Anthropic's Claude (Haiku model) to generate curriculum alignments and summaries. This processing happens once at write-time. Your data is not used to train AI models.
4. Data Storage
User and transactional data is stored in Neon (serverless Postgres) with encryption at rest. Content data is stored in Sanity CMS. Authentication is handled by Clerk. All services are hosted in secure, SOC 2-compliant environments.
5. Data Sharing
We share data only with the service providers necessary to operate Hearth: Clerk (authentication), Neon (database), Sanity (content), Anthropic (AI enrichment), and Vercel (hosting). We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
6. Children's Information
Hearth is used by parents to log their children's learning. Children do not create accounts or interact with the Service directly. Child-related data (names, learning entries) is controlled entirely by the parent account holder.
7. Your Rights
Under Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. You may export or delete your data at any time by contacting us.
8. Cookies
Hearth uses essential cookies for authentication and session management only. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or an in-app notice.
