Privacy Policy

Inquiries, email, and applications

The session request form prepares an email draft on your device with your name, email, optional phone number, student level, course, tutoring needs, availability, and any optional message. It does not submit those form answers to a booking endpoint. You must send the email for Northstar to receive it. Your email app and provider process drafts and sent messages.

Tutor applications similarly prepare an email draft with contact details, location and time zone, occupation, subjects and levels you can teach, coursework, experience, availability, and written responses. Northstar receives the résumé you attach and the message you send. Please omit identification numbers, confidential student records, and unnecessary sensitive information.

Email, phone calls, texts, and Google Voice messages may include contact information and details you choose to share. Email and voice service providers may process those communications. Northstar uses inquiry and application information to respond, arrange tutoring, communicate about learning needs, review applicants, and manage business records.

AI-assisted partnership inquiry drafts

Selecting Draft My Inquiry sends the organization name, contact name, role, organization type, audience, goals, and timeline to a Northstar server function, then to the Lovable AI gateway and its model provider. The current service uses an OpenAI model to return a draft. This processing happens before you choose whether to email Northstar. The draft can be edited in your browser; the feature does not send an email automatically.

Do not include student names, school records, medical information, or other sensitive personal data in the drafting tool. You may email Northstar directly instead. The request asks the model service not to store the response, but that option does not establish zero retention by the gateway, its providers, or technical logs. Provider retention and data-use settings have not all been verified.

Scheduling, tutoring, and payments

Northstar uses information about availability, student level, coursework, and learning needs to arrange and deliver tutoring. Scheduling through Google Calendar may involve contact information, appointment times, and meeting details. Zoom handles information associated with live tutoring, such as participant details and session communications, under its own privacy notice.

Session-recording practices and account settings have not yet been confirmed. Ask Northstar about recording before a session; this notice does not assert that sessions are recorded or that recording is disabled.

Payments are handled through Zelle. When Wave is used for invoicing, it may process customer contact information, session charges, and invoice or payment records. Northstar has not verified every billing-service setting or retention period. These website forms do not request bank credentials or payment account passwords.

Student information and homeschool partnerships

Before a homeschool organization or education program shares student records or requests progress reports, Northstar and the organization should agree on what information is needed, who may receive it, appropriate authorization, and handling and deletion arrangements. Do not enter student records into the AI inquiry builder. Requirements for children’s privacy and school records depend on the circumstances; no claim of blanket COPPA, FERPA, or state privacy-law compliance is made here.

Family feedback on this website comes from communications shared with Northstar and is displayed with identifying details withheld. Questions about a quote or permission to display it can be sent to Northstar.

Free mathematics practice and worksheets

The practice platform saves progress and recent practice history in your browser's local storage on that device. Clearing this site's browser storage removes those saved records. Practice and worksheet generation run in your browser without a student account or AI worksheet generation. Worksheet titles, names, dates, and generated documents are handled locally by the generator; printing or saving a PDF may involve your device, printer, or a service you choose.

The platform loads MathJax from jsDelivr to display mathematics. Visiting that service can disclose ordinary connection information, such as your IP address and browser details. Website hosting and technical processing still apply when you use the platform.

Hosting, fonts, cookies, and technical data

Hosting, content delivery, and security services may process information such as IP addresses, browser details, requested pages, and error reports to deliver and troubleshoot the site. Fonts are requested from Google Fonts. Server errors and optional hosting error-reporting tools may generate technical logs.

Lovable's built-in website analytics are active: published-site page views and clicks were confirmed during this review. These services process technical visit and interaction information, such as page paths, timing, browser details, approximate country, and visit identifiers. No separate Google Analytics or advertising tracker was identified in the reviewed site code. No session-replay records were found in the checked seven-day period; that does not establish that replay is disabled. Cookie, replay, log-access, and retention settings have not all been verified. The practice platform’s local storage is separate from cookies; this notice does not claim that the entire website is cookie-free.

Sharing, retention, and your choices

Information may be processed by the email, scheduling, tutoring, invoicing, payment, AI, and hosting services described above. Their privacy notices and account settings also matter. Northstar's existing policy is not to sell your personal information. We do not promise that information never leaves this website.

Messages, application materials, scheduling details, and billing records may remain with Northstar and the services used to handle them. A fixed retention and deletion schedule has not yet been confirmed. You may ask Northstar what information it holds, request a correction, or request deletion. Northstar will review the request and explain any records that need to remain for billing, legal, or service purposes; deletion from every provider or backup is not guaranteed.

Privacy questions and changes

Contact JoshuaLizardi@gmail.com or (260) 232-1122 about information handling, student privacy, or a request concerning your records. Please identify the request without sending unnecessary sensitive documents. Updates will carry a revision date on this page; changes affecting ongoing tutoring information practices will be communicated to affected families.
