Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 26, 2026

MyHome.school ("MyHome.school," "we," "us") is a service of Turner Technical Services, LLC. We help homeschooling families capture and keep their students' records. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. We've tried to keep it plain — if anything is unclear, email us at support@myhome.school.

Who uses MyHome.school

Accounts are created and managed by parents and guardians. MyHome.school is not directed to children, and we do not offer child-facing logins. Records about your students are entered by you, the parent or guardian who controls the account.

Information we collect

• Account information — your name and email address, used to sign you in and contact you.
• Waitlist and early-access details — if you sign up on this site, your first name, email address, state, how many children you're homeschooling, and which emails you agreed to receive. We use these to invite you and to know which states to prioritize.
• Homeschool records you create — student names, grade levels, the activities and evidence you log, and any files, photos, or notes you upload.
• Billing information — if you subscribe, our payment processor handles your card details (we never see or store your full card number).
• Basic technical data — information your browser sends automatically (such as IP address and device/browser type) and limited error and usage logs that help us keep the service working.

How we use your information

• To provide the service — storing your records and showing them back to you and the people you share them with.
• To operate your account, process subscriptions, and send service messages (for example, an invitation you sent or a billing notice).
• To keep the service secure, prevent abuse, and fix problems.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your records to train advertising profiles.

Service providers we share data with

We use a small set of trusted providers to run MyHome.school. They process data only to provide their service to us:

• Clerk — account sign-in and authentication, including the "Sign in with Google" and "Sign in with Apple" options.
• Stripe — subscription and one-time payments.
• Cloud object storage — the files, photos, and documents you upload are held in encrypted cloud storage in the United States. We use Amazon Web Services (S3) and Backblaze B2 for this, and as we build out our production setup a given file may live with either. Both are US-based storage providers; we'll keep this list current if that changes.
• Cloudflare — content delivery, hosting for parts of the site, and protection against bots and abuse (including the Turnstile check on our signup form).
• Akamai (Linode) — the servers and databases that run the service.
• Zoho ZeptoMail — transactional and update email (invitations, notices, early-access news).

That's the list for the app itself. We don't use third-party product analytics or advertising tools inside the app — we rely on our own server logs to keep it running (see "Basic technical data" above). If we ever bring in an outside analytics or error-reporting service, we'll add it here. Advertising measurement on our marketing pages is covered separately below.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the public.

People you choose to share with

When you invite a co-parent or a reviewer/evaluator, the records you share become visible to them. Anyone you give a portfolio share link to can view that portfolio. You control these invitations and can revoke access from within the app.

How long we keep your records

Your records don't expire. We keep them for as long as your account is active, so your family's history stays intact and available years from now — nothing ages out on its own.

Only two things are ever removed, and both are things you asked for:

• Things you delete — when you delete a record or a file, it leaves your lists and any shared portfolios right away, but we hold the underlying file for 90 days first. That's your recovery window: if you change your mind, email us inside those 90 days and we can usually bring it back. After that, the file is permanently removed from our storage.
• Uploads that never landed anywhere — if an upload starts but never gets attached to a record (a lost connection, a closed tab), we tidy it up about a day later so stray files don't sit around.

You can delete your records at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account and its data by emailing support@myhome.school. We also take routine backups and keep them for up to 30 days, so a deleted item can linger in a backup copy for a short while after it leaves the live service.

Security

We protect your data with encryption in transit, access controls, and reputable infrastructure providers. No online service can promise perfect security, but we work to keep your family's records safe and to limit access to only what's needed to run the service.

Advertising and how we measure it

We run ads so homeschooling families can find MyHome.school. To see which of those ads actually help, our public marketing pages — this website, including the home and signup pages — may use advertising measurement tools such as the Meta (Facebook) Pixel or a similar tag from another ad platform. As of the date at the top of this page, no such tool is installed on this site. We're telling you now, before we turn one on, so the choice below is available to you either way.

If and when we do use one, here is exactly what it involves:

• What gets shared — that a browser visited one of our marketing pages, whether a signup happened, and the basic technical data every browser sends (IP address, browser and device type). The ad platform may connect that to an account you already have with them. This is what the law calls targeted advertising.
• What never gets shared — your account, your students, your records, your files, photos, or notes. Everything inside the app lives behind sign-in and is never sent to an advertising platform. Ad tags run only on our marketing pages, never on the app itself.

We do not sell your personal information, and we never use your family's records for advertising.

Opting out of ad measurement

If you'd rather not be included in ad measurement — including targeted advertising, which Virginia's Consumer Data Protection Act and several other state laws give you the right to decline — you have three ways to say so, and any one of them is enough:

• Your browser's privacy signal — if your browser or an extension sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, we honor it automatically. No further action needed.
• The button below — it records your choice in this browser. Any ad tag we ever add must check that choice and skip loading entirely.
• Email us — write to support@myhome.school with "opt out of ad tracking" and we'll record it against your account and email address. This one follows you across devices, which the browser options can't do.

Your choice is stored in this browser under the name mhs_no_ads_tracking. Clearing your cookies and site data clears it too, so you'd need to set it again — or email us and we'll keep it on file for you.

Your choices and rights

You can review and edit your records in the app, update your account details, and request a copy or deletion of your data. To make a request, contact support@myhome.school. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under your local privacy laws — such as access, correction, deletion, a copy of your data, and opting out of targeted advertising — and we'll honor those that apply to you. If we ever have to say no to a request, we'll tell you why, and you can ask us to reconsider by replying to that email; we'll take a second look and respond.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the service grows. When we make material changes, we'll update the date above and, where appropriate, let you know in the app or by email.
