Privacy.
Last updated May 2026.
What we keep
When you use Family Home Finder, we store:
- The chat conversation — metro, budget, school preferences, the texture of your family — and the structured fields the intake agent extracts from it.
- The generated report itself, plus a hashed version of the IP address that placed the order (for fraud and abuse prevention only).
- Your email, but only if you complete checkout — Stripe collects it and we receive it via the payment webhook so we can send you the report link.
What we don’t keep
- Credit card numbers — those go straight to Stripe and never touch our servers.
- Your name, phone number, address, or anything else we don’t explicitly ask for in chat.
- Your raw IP address — we hash it before storing.
- Your chat is never used to train AI models — neither by us nor by Anthropic, whose commercial API terms prohibit training on customer prompts.
How we use it
Solely to generate your report, deliver it to you, run the service, and improve the product. We don’t sell, share, or rent your data.
Third-party services
To run the service, we send minimal slices of data to:
- Anthropic (Claude)— generating research and report copy. Chat messages are sent to Anthropic’s API. Anthropic does not train on this data. Anthropic’s privacy policy.
- Braintrust— LLM observability — we log chat messages and model outputs there so we can debug and improve the agents. Used internally only. Braintrust’s privacy policy.
- PostHog— product analytics — pseudonymous funnel events (chat started, intake completed, payment succeeded) so we can see where the product breaks. No cross-site tracking, form inputs are masked from any session recording. PostHog’s privacy policy.
- Stripe— payment processing. We never see or store credit card numbers. Stripe’s privacy policy.
- Resend— emailing your report link when it’s ready, once you’ve completed checkout.
- Vercel— hosting for the website and chat API.
- Railway— hosting for the Postgres database and the report-generation worker.
Data retention
- Chat sessions that never reach checkout: deleted after 30 days.
- Generated reports and the chat that produced them: kept for 5 years so the link in your inbox keeps working. Email us any time to delete sooner.
- Braintrust traces: kept for 90 days for debugging, then expire automatically.
- PostHog events: anonymous funnel data kept for 12 months, then aggregated.
Cookies
We use localStorage to store a session ID — a random identifier with no personal information — so you can refresh the page and pick up the chat where you left off. PostHog uses a single first-party cookie for funnel analytics. No third-party tracking cookies, no ad networks, no fingerprinting.
Your rights
You can request a copy of your data, or deletion of your data, any time by emailing the address below. We’ll do it within 30 days.
