Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Connected Learning Co. provides software that helps homeschooling families plan lessons, track grades and attendance, and keep organized records. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us at info@myconnectedlearning.co.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide to us:

• Beta registration & survey. When you join the beta, we collect your name, email address, and the answers you give in our survey — such as your homeschooling style, the challenges you face, and the features you’re interested in.
• Contact messages. If you email us, we receive your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
• Account information. If you create an account, we collect your name, email address, a password (stored only in hashed form by our authentication provider), and basic details about your family.
• Student information you enter. As a parent or guardian, you may add information about your children — including names, grade levels, birthdates, academic history, learning goals, notes, attendance, grades, and documents you choose to upload, such as report cards. You decide what to enter.

Information collected automatically:

• Usage and device data. When you visit our site or use the app, we and our infrastructure providers may collect standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps, to keep the service secure and working properly.
• Cookies. We use essential cookies needed to keep you signed in and to operate the service. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
• Product analytics. We record first-party analytics about how the site and app are used — pages viewed, key actions (such as clicks, scroll depth, and form submissions), a coarse country derived from your connection (we do not store your IP address), and your device and browser type. Visits are grouped by a random identifier your browser keeps only for the current session; it is not a cookie and is not used to recognize you across sessions or on other sites. For signed-in users these events are associated with your account so we can understand and improve the experience. We do not sell this data or use third-party advertising trackers, and we honor the Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals a browser may send.

3. How we use information

• To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the platform and its features.
• To respond to your beta registration, survey responses, and contact messages.
• To create and manage your account and your family’s records.
• To communicate with you about the beta program, product updates, and support.
• To prevent abuse and to meet our legal obligations.

We use beta survey responses to understand what families need and to decide what to build first. We do not use student information for advertising, and we do not sell it.

4. Children’s privacy (COPPA)

Connected Learning Co. is built for homeschooling families, and we know that means we handle information about children — including children under 13. We treat that information carefully and consistently with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Accounts are set up by a parent or guardian. A parent or guardian creates and controls the family account and decides what student information to enter. By creating an account and adding a child, the parent or guardian provides consent, on that child’s behalf, for us to collect and use the information needed to provide the service to the family.

Students can have their own login. A parent may choose to give a student a username and password so the student can sign in to a limited student portal, where they can see the lessons assigned to them and mark their own work complete. Students sign in with a username — we do not ask a student for an email address, and a student cannot enter or change account or family information. A parent does not have to create a student login, and can ask us to remove one at any time.

What we do and don’t do with student information. We collect only the student information needed for the features a family chooses to use. We do not sell it, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not use it to build profiles for any purpose other than running the service for that family. Where student information is handled by a service provider that helps us operate the platform, it is used only to provide the service.

Parental rights.A parent or guardian can review the student information we hold, ask us to correct or delete it, and decline to let us collect more — by editing it in the app or by emailing info@myconnectedlearning.co. If you believe a child has given us information directly without a parent’s involvement, contact us and we will delete it.

5. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information or your family’s data. We share information only:

• With service providers who host and operate the platform on our behalf — for example, our database and authentication provider — under agreements that limit their use of the data to providing those services.
• When required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users, the public, or Connected Learning Co.
• In connection with a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition, in which case any successor will be bound by this policy.

6. Where your data is stored and how we protect it

Your data is stored using Supabase, a managed Postgres database and authentication provider. Access to family data is restricted by row-level security, so each family can only reach its own records, and data is encrypted in transit. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we use reasonable safeguards to protect your information.

7. Data retention

We keep beta registration and survey responses for as long as needed to run the beta program and improve the product. Account and family data is kept while your account is active. You can ask us to delete your information at any time, as described below; some records may be retained where the law requires it.

8. Your choices and rights

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop contacting you, by emailing info@myconnectedlearning.co. If you have an account, you can also edit or remove much of your family’s information directly within the app. We will respond to requests within a reasonable time.

9. Cookies

We use only the cookies necessary to operate the service — primarily to keep you signed in. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings; note that blocking essential cookies may prevent you from signing in.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the platform grows or as laws change. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you. Continued use of the service after an update means you accept the revised policy.
