Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

JARVIS Homeschool Command Center ("JARVIS," "we," "us," or "our") is operated by Breaking The Algorithm LLC, a Florida limited liability company. Our platform at jarvis-edu.com provides homeschool curriculum delivery, progress tracking, parent reporting, and related educational tools for families.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over it. It applies to all users of jarvis-edu.com and any associated services.

2. Information We Collect

From Parents and Guardians

• Account information: your name, email address, and password when you register.
• Household information: your family name, the grade levels and first/last names of children you add to the platform.
• Child intake information (optional): academic strengths, weaknesses, and learning environment preferences you describe for each child. This is used solely to inform curriculum sequencing.
• Payment information: subscription plan selection and billing details. Payment card data is processed directly by Square and is never stored on our servers. We receive only a subscription confirmation and a Square customer identifier.
• Faith preferences (optional): your selected religious content settings, if you choose to enable the faith toggle. This information is used only to filter curriculum content and is never shared with third parties.
• Communications: emails and support messages you send us.

From Children (with parental consent)

• Account identifiers: first name, last name, grade level, and a 6-digit numeric PIN used to log in.
• Learning activity data: lesson completion, question responses (correct/incorrect, response time, hints used), session duration, subject mastery estimates, streaks, and experience points (XP).
• Diagnostic placement results: the results of any placement assessments the child completes.
• Reward and redemption activity: coupon points earned and reward requests made within the platform.
• Badges earned.

We do not collect a child's email address, phone number, physical address, photo, geolocation, or any information beyond what is listed above. We do not allow children to post publicly or communicate with other users.

Automatically Collected Information

• Log data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps, collected automatically when you use the platform.
• Session data: standard Firebase authentication tokens used to keep you signed in.

We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking. We do not use third-party advertising networks.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage your family account and subscription.
• Deliver curriculum lessons and track your child's progress.
• Generate progress reports for parents.
• Process payments and manage your subscription through Square.
• Send transactional emails (account confirmations, subscription receipts). We do not send marketing emails without your explicit consent.
• Filter curriculum content according to your faith preferences, if enabled.
• Improve the accuracy of our placement diagnostics and lesson sequencing using aggregated, de-identified data.
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use children's information for advertising, behavioral profiling, or any purpose beyond delivering the educational service.

4. Children's Privacy — COPPA Detailed Disclosure

Because JARVIS serves children, including children under 13, we are committed to full compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506, and the FTC's implementing regulations at 16 C.F.R. Part 312.

Parental Consent

We obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting any personal information from a child. A child's account can only be created by a parent or guardian who has registered on the platform, accepted these terms, and actively added the child to their account. This action constitutes the parent's verifiable consent.

What We Collect from Children and Why

We collect only the minimum information necessary to operate the educational service: the child's name (for display and parent identification), grade level (for curriculum placement), a numeric PIN (for login), and learning activity data (for progress tracking and parent reporting). We do not condition a child's participation on disclosure of more information than is necessary.

How We Use Children's Information

Children's personal information is used solely to: (1) operate and personalize the educational experience, (2) generate progress reports visible only to the child's registered parent, and (3) support platform security and integrity. It is never used for advertising, third-party marketing, or profiling.

Disclosure to Third Parties

We do not disclose children's personal information to third parties except as follows:

• Google (Firebase): our database and authentication provider, acting as a data processor under our instructions. Google's data processing terms apply.
• Netlify: our web hosting provider. Netlify processes web traffic logs but does not have access to application data.
• Render: our server hosting provider. Render hosts our application server but does not have access to personal data beyond server logs.
• As required by law: we may disclose information if required by a court order, subpoena, or applicable law, and will notify parents where legally permitted to do so.

We do not share children's information with Square, SendGrid, Anthropic, or the NASA API. Payment processing is parent-account-only. Anthropic's API is used by administrators to generate curriculum content offline; no student data is transmitted to Anthropic.

Parents' Rights

At any time, a parent or legal guardian may:

• Review the personal information we have collected about their child by contacting us at privacy@jarvis-edu.com.
• Correct inaccurate information by updating it through their parent portal or by contacting us.
• Delete their child's personal information by requesting account deletion. We will delete the child's data within 30 days of a verified request, except where retention is required by law.
• Refuse further collection by deleting the child's account. This will terminate the child's access to the platform.

We will respond to parental requests within 30 days. We may require verification of identity before processing a request.

Data Retention

We retain children's personal information for as long as the family account is active, or as needed to provide the service. Upon account cancellation or deletion request, children's personal information is deleted within 30 days. Aggregated, de-identified learning statistics that cannot be linked to any individual may be retained for platform improvement purposes.

5. Data Sharing and Third-Party Services

We use the following service providers who may process personal information on our behalf. Each is contractually required to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us:

• Google Firebase — authentication and database (Google LLC, USA). Firebase Privacy
• Square Inc. — payment processing (parent accounts only). Square Privacy Policy
• Twilio SendGrid — transactional email delivery. Twilio Privacy Policy
• Netlify — web hosting and content delivery.
• Render — application server hosting.
• NASA — space imagery API (no personal data transmitted).

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to any third party for their own marketing or advertising purposes.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect personal information, including:

• All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS.
• Firebase Firestore security rules restrict data access so that each family can only access their own data.
• Authentication tokens are managed by Firebase Auth and are not stored in our application database.
• Payment card data is never transmitted to or stored on our servers; Square handles all payment data.
• Administrative access to production systems is restricted to authorized personnel only.

No method of data transmission or storage is 100% secure. In the event of a data breach that affects your or your child's personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

7. Florida Homeschool Statute

JARVIS is designed to support compliance with Florida Statute §1002.41 governing home education programs. Records generated by the platform (lesson completion records, progress reports, and annual evaluation documentation) belong to the parent and may be used to satisfy the portfolio and annual evaluation requirements of the statute. We do not transmit any educational records to Florida school districts or any government agency. Parents are solely responsible for maintaining and submitting records as required by law.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information. Regardless of location, all JARVIS users may:

• Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you or your child.
• Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of your account and associated data.
• Withdraw consent for optional data processing (such as faith preference settings) at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@jarvis-edu.com. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify registered parents by email and update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. Your continued use of JARVIS after the effective date of a revised policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If a change materially affects how we collect or use your child's personal information, we will obtain fresh parental consent before the change takes effect.
