Privacy Policy

Our Philosophy. Your trust is our greatest asset. We make every reasonable effort to ensure that information held by HEC-powered Web sites is confidential and secure. We disclose our information-security practices to you as clearly and fully as possible. These practices receive continuous oversight, and many of our business decisions, including Web design, technology selections, and third-party business relationships, begin and end with considerations for your privacy.

Changes to Policy. While our philosophy will not change, the details of the policy will change over time as we add additional services and form relationships with new business partners. Please refer back to this page periodically.

Contacting Us. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, the practices of our Web site, your dealings with HEC, or would like to provide comments, please contact us at admin@homeeducationconsultation.com.

Activity Tracking. We collect and use activity statistics so we can understand the ways in which our site and services are being utilized. Activity related data will not be used to specifically target you with solicitations of any kind.

Collection of Information. We only collect information that is required in order to provide you with services. We design our site so that you must make express, informed choices to use services that ask for personal information and authorize us to have access to your personal information. If you do choose to provide us with personal information, we will hold that information in the strictest confidence taking all reasonable steps to protect your personal information. Upon request, we will inform you about the personal information we have collected and we will use reasonable efforts to make any necessary changes.

At any time, you can opt out of any service you have been using and revoke your authorization for our access to your information. We monitor and adopt best practices from industry guidelines and applicable statutes, and we follow appropriate information security practices.

Third Parties. We may work with business partners to provide the highest-quality service available. Our business partner contracts will include protective language regarding consumer privacy in those cases where we feel the nature of the partner's role demands it. We do not disclose personal information to any third party without clearly noting the purpose of such disclosure at the point where you choose to use the service and obtain your authorization.

Links to other sites.  Our site contains links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

Use of Cookies. We may use non-persistent session state cookies to establish and sustain login sessions. These cookies disappear after you close your browser. The cookies are used to monitor your session and to enable a more effective and convenient user experience.  Other sites cannot use cookies created by our sites, and we do not use cookies to track your activities outside of our own site.

A cookie is a small text file that Web sites use to recognize a user. At its simplest, cookie technology works by carrying a unique ID generated by the server that creates the cookie. A cookie does not pose a threat to the computer that accepts it.

Protecting Children. None of our sites or services are directed at children, and we make every reasonable effort to ensure that we do not accept personal information from persons under 13 years of age without a parent’s permission.

Legal Requests. We will cooperate with law enforcement inquiries as a matter of policy. To the extent available to us, we will use IP addresses and other available information to attempt to identify a user when we are legally compelled to do so or when we feel it is necessary to protect our services, sites, customers, or others.

Legal Disclaimer. Unfortunately, no data protection method or combination of methods can be guaranteed 100 percent secure. We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information as described throughout this policy, but we cannot ensure or warrant our ability to do so. As a result, you use our content, products, and services at your own risk. We are not liable for disclosures of  your personal information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties.
