Kiddo Log Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 30 May 2025
Welcome to Kiddo Log! Your privacy is important to us, and we’re committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We’ve done our best to keep it easy to read—because nobody wants a privacy headache.
1. Who We Are
Kiddo Log is a digital learning journal and homeschool record-keeping platform created by homeschooling parents for homeschooling families. Our mission is to simplify your homeschooling journey—not complicate your privacy.
2. What Information We Collect
a. Account Information
- Your name and email address (when you sign up)
- Password (encrypted—we can’t see it)
- Optional profile information
b. Learning Records
- Educational logs, notes, photos, and uploads you add to your account
- Reports you generate
- Tags, categories, and subjects you create
c. Device & Usage Data
- IP address, browser type, and basic device info
- Usage data like when you log in, create entries, or generate reports
d. Cookies & Tracking
- We use limited cookies to help the site function properly (like keeping you logged in). We do not use cookies for third-party advertising or creepy tracking.
3. How We Use Your Information
- Provide and maintain the Kiddo Log platform
- Let you create, edit, and export your homeschool records
- Improve our features based on how people use the app
- Send occasional service-related messages (e.g., password reset emails)
- Respond to your support requests
We do not sell or rent your data to anyone. Ever.
4. Who We Share Your Data With
Short answer: very few people. Only when absolutely necessary:
- Service Providers: Trusted partners (like cloud storage or email services) who help us run Kiddo Log.
- Advertising Partners: We may share limited, non-personal information with advertising providers (such as Facebook or Reddit) to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. This may include hashed email addresses or other identifiers solely for the purpose of validating ad performance. We do not share your learning records or sensitive personal data for advertising purposes.
- Legal Compliance: If we’re required by law (e.g., court order), we’ll comply—and notify you if we can.
We never share your info for marketing purposes. Period.
5. How We Protect Your Data
- Encrypted connections (HTTPS) across the site
- Secure cloud-based storage with regular backups
- Access controls and authentication to prevent unauthorized access
Despite our best efforts, no system is 100% foolproof. If we ever discover a breach, we’ll notify you as required by law.
6. Your Rights & Choices
- View or Edit: Update your info by logging into your account
- Export: Download your learning records
- Delete: You can delete your account and all data anytime
- Contact Us: Reach out if you need help managing your data
7. Children's Privacy
Kiddo Log is intended to be used by parents, not directly by children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we find out we have, we’ll delete it right away.
8. International Users
We’re based in Australia, but we welcome homeschoolers from around the world. If you’re outside the Australia, your data will be stored and processed both here and in the U.S. for redundancy. By using Kiddo Log, you consent to that transfer.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time (especially if we add new features). When we do, we’ll post the changes here and update the date at the top. If it’s a big change, we’ll let you know directly.
