Privacy Policy

Ownly Academy ("we", "us") helps homeschool families plan lessons, track attendance, maintain student records, organize portfolio evidence, and manage related household education tasks. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and who we share it with.

Account information: your name, email, password (stored hashed), household or school name, role, timezone, and preference settings.

Student and homeschool records: student names, grade levels, schedules, lessons, attendance records, goals, progress notes, portfolio entries, field trips, expenses, reminders, reports, and related metadata.

Content you add: notes, worksheets, documents, images, files, receipts, portfolio evidence, and other uploads you choose to store in the service.

Usage data: basic logs needed to operate, troubleshoot, secure, and protect the service, including request metadata and rate-limiting information.

We use your information to provide and maintain the service, create homeschool records and reports, process account and billing operations, send transactional and reminder emails you enable, secure the platform, improve product reliability, and comply with legal obligations.

We share data with vendors who process it on our behalf, only as needed to run Ownly Academy.

Stripe - subscription billing and payments.

Cloudflare R2 or similar storage providers - storage of files and images you upload.

OpenAI or similar AI providers - AI-assisted parsing, summarization, image/document analysis, and automated content moderation where enabled.

Resend or similar email providers - transactional and reminder email delivery.

Upstash or similar infrastructure providers - rate limiting and service protection.

Our database and hosting providers - storage and operation of account, household, student, and homeschool record data.

We do not sell your personal information.

Uploaded images, files, and portfolio evidence may be automatically screened for prohibited or unsafe content before or after storage. We may remove content and suspend accounts that violate our Terms of Use, and we may report illegal content to the appropriate authorities as required by law.

Ownly Academy is intended for use by parents, guardians, educators, and authorized household members. The service may store information about children only when provided by an authorized adult for homeschool planning and recordkeeping purposes.

Children should not create accounts or use Ownly Academy directly unless permitted by law and authorized by a parent or guardian.

We retain your data while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward as needed for legal, security, backup, and operational purposes. You can request deletion at any time, subject to records we must retain for legitimate legal or compliance reasons.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. Ownly Academy may provide in-app exports for homeschool records, and you can contact us to exercise other rights.

We use strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in, protect your session, and remember preferences such as appearance settings. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

We use industry-standard measures including password hashing, access controls, signed or protected file access where appropriate, content-security policies, and rate limiting. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data.

We may update this policy and will revise the version above. Material changes may require you to re-accept before continuing to use Ownly Academy.
