We take keeping your data safe very seriously, our security measures are extensive and follow industry best practice. Safety, security and privacy has been thought of throughout the design of the Home Ed Companion and the trust that we are given to keep this data safe is important to us. Firstly, the main account holder is the parent or carer (from now on called the 'customer') who must be over 18. When we create an account it is the customer's name and email we use. The customer can then create 'learner' accounts. We use minimal personal information about a learner. Customer's are able to use a nickname for their learner rather than their actual name if preferred. The portfolio document will allow the nickname to be changed locally when downloaded later. for more details about our data policy and security measures. Our business model is not about gathering data, it is to make a quality purchasable product that provides value to educator’s. We hope that in taking this choice, our customer’s will stay with us and see value in our product for years through their education journey. We are constantly reviewing and updating our security measures as necessary and will update this page as new security capabilities are added.

Apart from where we use third-party dependencies within our application for transactional processes or marketing, the simple answer is NO. As long-term home educator's ourselves, we are fully aware of the issues around maintaining privacy. The Home Ed Companion tool is designed to support home-educating families and it exists for you and only you to use. We detail third party dependencies in our privacy policy.
That depends on where you reside and home educate or homeschool. The Home Ed Companion is available in multiple countries so you should check your local regulations. In the UK not all families choose to keep formal records but some find it useful and the Home Ed Companion app is designed for those who would like a tool to help with this.
