Privacy

Use general descriptions, not private documents.

ThePineTree is designed for educational scenario guidance. Do not submit Social Security numbers, account numbers, full tax returns, or other highly sensitive documents through site forms or question flows.

Information you submit

The site may collect email, audience type, scenario notes, and page context when you request a follow-up or save a scenario.

Scenario notes

Scenario notes may be stored to support follow-up, improve product behavior, and help the site return a clearer next step later.

AI processing

Question flows may be processed by a configured AI provider. That is another reason to avoid highly sensitive personal documents or identifiers.

Best practice

If the detail is private enough that you would hesitate to email it casually, it should not go into an open educational question form.
