Privacy Policy
Tabbykeeps homeschool records for your family. That means you trust us with information about your kids, and we treat that as the whole ballgame. This page says what we collect, what we do with it, and what we will never do — in plain words, because you should not need a lawyer to understand what happens to your family's data.
What we collect
- Your account: your email address, and — only if you add it for text-in — your mobile number.
- Your homeschool records: your students' first names (or nicknames), grade levels, subjects and curricula, and the notes you write about what they did. We deliberately do not ask for and do not want birthdates, last names, or photos of your children.
- Your check-in notes: the plain-language notes you type or text in. We keep the original text so your records are auditable, and you can erase all of it at any time.
What we do with it
One thing: turn your notes into your family's records — attendance, activity log, gradebook, pacing, and reports. Your notes are processed by a language-model service to classify them into records. At launch this processing runs on US-hosted providers under agreements that prohibit training on your data. We log which provider processed each note so we can always answer "who saw this?"
What we never do
- We never sell your data or your kids' data. To anyone. Ever.
- We never use your family's data to train AI models, and our providers may not either.
- We never show ads or share your data with advertisers.
- We never collect information from your children directly — you write the notes; the account is yours.
Where it lives
Your data is stored in US-region databases, encrypted at rest and in transit. Sign-in is handled by Clerk (our authentication provider); if you use text-in, messages pass through Twilio (our messaging provider). These providers process data only to provide the service.
Texting
If you turn on text-in, the messages you send to Tabby are used to create your records and for nothing else. Reply STOP at any time to stop all messaging; reply HELP for help. We never send marketing by text, and your number is never shared with third parties for marketing.
Your data is yours
From Family → Settings you can download everything we hold about your family (full JSON export plus a CSV of your activity log) or delete everything permanently — every record, every note, and your login, gone from our systems. No email, no waiting period, no retention copy.
Changes & contact
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we'll tell you before it takes effect. Questions, or anything that doesn't feel right: hello@tabbyhomeschool.com.
