What we ask for, and what we never ask for.

What we collect

Only what the research needs: your target area, the school year and grade you are planning for, the school types you want compared, your budget and funding situation, commute and aftercare constraints, sibling schedules as logistics, and what you tell us about your child in your own words.

We also collect the email address and billing name attached to your payment, which our payment processor handles.

What we never ask for

• Medical or diagnostic records. If a learning or support need matters to the research, describe it in your own words. We do not need documentation.
• Social Security numbers. Not for you and not for your child.
• Full school records. No transcripts, discipline files, or cumulative folders.

If a form ever seems to ask for one of these, stop and write to us. It is a mistake on our side.

Your child's information

We deliberately keep this thin. The report covers one focus child, and the only child information we hold is what you type into the intake and any clarification you send us. We do not ask for a photograph, a birth date, a student identification number, or contact details for your child.

How long we keep it

Your intake and report are kept while we research and write your report and through the clarification round that follows it, so we can answer questions about what we sent you. After that they are deleted from our working files.

Payment records are kept by our payment processor for as long as tax and accounting rules require. We do not hold your card details at any point.

You can ask us to delete your information sooner, and you can ask for a copy of what we hold. Write to the address below and we will confirm when it is done.

Who sees it

Eric reviews the research behind every report. Beyond that, your information is handled only by the services we use to run the business, which at present are our payment processor, our intake form, our email provider, and the AI tools used to draft and check research. Those services process your information on our instructions.

We do not sell your information. We do not share it for advertising. We do not build a profile of your family for any purpose beyond producing your report.

We do not contact your child's school

No step in producing your report involves contacting a school your family is currently at or applying to. The action kit includes an email you can send yourself, so that any approach to a school comes from you.

Who we are and what this is

Houston School Path is AI-assisted research and decision support with human review. It is not placement advice and not a credentialed educational recommendation. Your family owns the final school decision. Admission, placement, and fit are not guaranteed.

No school pays us. We take no referral fees and no commissions from any school named in your report.

Questions or corrections

Write to hello@houstonschoolpath.com. If something in your report looks wrong, tell us and we will check the source and correct it.
