❌ Sell Student Data
We will never sell, rent, or share your student data with advertisers, data brokers, or third parties. Student privacy is sacred.
❌ Track You Across the Web
No tracking pixels, no behavioral analytics, no profiling. Your activity is your business.
❌ Use Behavioral Advertising
No tracking pixels, no behavioral targeting, no ad profiling. If we show ads, they're curated Montessori-aligned partners—not based on your browsing or data.
❌ Share Without Permission
We won't share your data with schools, parents, or anyone else without your explicit consent.
❌ Hold Your Data Hostage
Export everything anytime. Downgrade or cancel without losing access to your records.
❌ Access Without Reason
Our team will never look at your data unless you explicitly request support and grant permission.
We believe in connecting educators with businesses that share Montessori values and truly serve our community.
To keep Montessori Notes sustainable and affordable, we may show ads from carefully selected businesses that align with Montessori philosophy. This isn't about data mining or targeted advertising—it's about connecting you with resources that genuinely serve the Montessori community.
Hand-Selected Partners
Every business we feature is personally vetted for Montessori alignment, quality, and community value.
No Behavioral Tracking
Featured businesses don't receive your data. We show relevant resources based on your teaching level (Primary/Elementary), not by tracking your behavior.
Student Data Never Shared
Your student records, observations, and lesson plans remain completely private. Advertisers never see, access, or receive any student information.
Unobtrusive & Relevant
Resources appear in designated spaces, never interrupting your workflow. Think: Montessori materials suppliers, training programs, or educational conferences.
Ad-Free Premium Option
Premium subscribers can opt out of featured resources entirely if they prefer a completely ad-free experience.
Our Promise:We will never compromise student privacy for advertising revenue. Featured businesses are partners in the Montessori community, not data buyers. If a business doesn't align with Montessori values or serve our community well, they won't be featured—regardless of what they're willing to pay.
All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Passwords are hashed using industry-standard bcrypt with salt.
JWT-based authentication with secure session management. Optional two-factor authentication (2FA) for Premium users.
Hosted on secure, SOC 2 compliant infrastructure with regular backups, disaster recovery, and 99.9% uptime SLA.
Third-party security assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability scanning to ensure your data stays protected.
Role-based permissions ensure teachers only see their own students. School administrators get controlled, audited access.
FERPA compliant, EdFi compliant, Ed-Facts compliant. We follow best practices from NIST, OWASP, and educational data standards.
