Privacy and safety

Most people who use Pennantist are under 18. We collect as little as we can, show parents what they need, and keep the rest with the teen.

What we never do

  • Sell your family’s data, or give it to colleges or recruiters.
  • Show ads, or use ad trackers, ad IDs or analytics from other companies. This site has none either.
  • Compare your teen with classmates.
  • Send text messages. Pennantist uses email only and keeps no phone numbers.

The parent owns the account

A parent opens the family account, pays and invites the teen. Parents can export the family’s data or delete it all at any time.

What parents see, and what stays with the teen

Parents see the plan and results: the roadmap, the course plan and GPA, the confirmed record, recommendations and deadlines. The teen’s weekly log in their own words, voice notes, essay drafts, proof files and personal to-dos stay private unless the teen turns sharing on. This is built into who can see what, not a setting anyone can switch on by mistake.

AI that never writes for your teen

  • It organizes facts your teen logged. It never drafts an essay, a sentence or an activity description as theirs.
  • The essay coach asks questions about a draft; the words stay your teen’s.
  • Suggestions stay suggestions. College tiers appear only after your teen asks for them, and nothing locks.
  • No admission odds, anywhere.

District rules name their source

Every district rule in Pennantist shows its source document, school year and the day we read it, and says when it hasn’t been checked by a person yet. Confirm with your counselor before course selection.

Younger students

For a student under 13, a parent can start the plan, but the teen gets no account and no email until a parent says they’re 13 or older.

The full details are in the Privacy Policy.
