Children's Privacy (COPPA)
Homeschool AI OS is committed to protecting the privacy of children who use our platform. This page outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information from children under the age of 13, in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
Our Commitment
We believe that children's data deserves the highest level of protection. Our platform is designed with "privacy by default" for all student accounts. We never sell children's data, and we do not use it for targeted advertising.
What We Collect
When a parent or guardian creates a student profile, we may collect:
- Student's first name or a nickname
- Grade level and learning preferences
- Educational progress, quiz results, and curriculum data
- AI-generated interactions (monitored and filtered for safety)
We do not collect student email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses.
Parental Consent
Verifiable parental consent is required before any personal information is collected from a child. Parents have full control over their children's profiles and can review, modify, or delete any data at any time through the parent dashboard.
How We Protect Data
We use advanced technical measures to ensure children's data remains private and secure:
- RLS Isolation: We use Row-Level Security at the database level to ensure that student data is only accessible to their authorized parent or guardian.
- US-Based Storage: All student data is stored on secure servers located within the United States.
- Encryption: Data is encrypted using industry-standard protocols both during transmission and while at rest.
- No Data Selling: We have a strict policy against selling or leasing any student data to third parties.
Parental Rights
As a parent or guardian, you have the following rights under COPPA:
- To review the personal information we have collected from your child.
- To request the deletion of your child's personal information.
- To refuse further collection or use of your child's information.
- To agree to the collection and use of your child's information, but still prohibit disclosure to third parties (unless integral to the service).
