SchoolTally Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 12, 2026

SchoolTally ("we," "us," or "our") is a homeschool planner and records app for parents. It is made by A Full Sentence LLC, doing business as Afterscript. This policy explains what information SchoolTally collects, where it is kept, and who we share it with. By using SchoolTally, you agree to this policy.

The short version: your family's records stay on your phone, and sync to your private family account only if you sign in. We never sell your data, we never show ads, and we never send your children's names, notes, grades or photos to analytics.

Information We Collect

Records you enter. SchoolTally stores the homeschool records you choose to enter: your family name and first name, an optional mailing address for report covers, your state and the requirements you track, your children's first names, grade levels and colors, your school year and days off, subjects, daily logs (subject, date, minutes, and optional notes), attendance, grades, and work samples.

Without an account. You can use SchoolTally without signing in. Your records are then stored only on your device, and we do not receive them.

With an account. If you sign in with Apple, Google, or email and password, we receive your email address and, from Apple or Google, the name on that account. Your records then sync to your private family account so they are backed up and available on your other devices.

Photos and files. Work-sample photos you add stay on your device. They are not uploaded to our servers. They are included in your data export if you choose. If a future version offers photo backup, we will update this policy before it does.

Camera and photo library. SchoolTally accesses your camera or photo library only when you choose to add a photo.

Co-teachers. If you invite a co-teacher (for example, a spouse), we store the invite code, your family name, the inviter's first name, and the invitee's email address if you enter one. Once they join, they can see and edit your family's records. You can remove a co-teacher at any time.

Subscriptions. Premium subscriptions are processed by the Apple App Store (on iOS) or Google Play (on Android). We do not receive your card details. We use RevenueCat to confirm your subscription status. RevenueCat receives purchase receipts linked to a random family identifier, not your name or email.

Support messages. If you email us, we keep your message and email address so we can reply.

Reminders. Reminders are scheduled on your device. We do not use a push notification service and do not collect a push token.

Analytics and Crash Reports

We use Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics to see where the app is confusing or breaking, so we can fix it.

What we collect. Usage events such as "a log was saved," "a report was generated," or "onboarding step 3 was completed"; the screens you visit; your state (for example, "PA"); the number of children; your plan (free, trial, or paid); and the week of your school year. We also receive standard technical details: device model, operating system and app version, language, and an approximate country or region derived from your IP address. Crash reports include technical details about what the app was doing when it crashed.

What we never collect. We never send your children's names, notes, grades, scores, photos, captions, search terms, or anything else you type to analytics or crash reporting.

No advertising, no tracking. SchoolTally does not show ads, does not use advertising identifiers, does not personalize ads, and does not track you across other apps or websites.

Your choice. You can turn off More › Privacy › Share anonymous usage data at any time. When it's off, SchoolTally sends no analytics events and no crash reports, and deletes any unsent crash reports on your device.

How We Use Your Information

  • To provide the app, sync your records, and keep them backed up
  • To let co-teachers you invite share your family's records
  • To confirm your subscription
  • To respond to support requests
  • To understand how the app is used, and fix problems
  • To keep the app and your account secure

Third-Party Services

We share information only with the service providers that help us run the app:

  • Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Analytics, Crashlytics): sign-in, secure storage and sync of your records in the United States, usage analytics, and crash reports
  • RevenueCat: subscription status
  • Apple and Google: optional sign-in, and subscription billing

These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy and security terms.

What We Do NOT Do

  • We do not sell, trade, or rent your information to anyone.
  • We do not show ads or share data with advertisers.
  • We do not collect your precise location.
  • We do not send your children's names, notes, grades, or photos to analytics or crash reporting.

Children's Privacy

SchoolTally is for parents and guardians. Children do not create accounts or use the app directly. The information about children in SchoolTally is entered by their parent or guardian, who controls it and can view, export, change, or delete it at any time. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information directly, contact us and we will delete it.

Data Retention and Deletion

Records on your device stay there until you delete them or remove the app. If you sign in, your records stay in your family account for as long as the account exists.

Delete your account: in the app, go to More › Account › Delete account. If you own the family, this permanently deletes your family's records from our servers, cancels pending invites, and removes your co-teachers' access. If you are a co-teacher, it removes you from the family; the family keeps its records. Records on your device stay until you remove the app. You can also ask us to delete your account by email (see Contact). Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription; manage that in your App Store or Google Play settings.

Export: you can export all of your records at any time from More › Export & backup, on every plan.

Security

Your records are sent over encrypted connections and stored in Google Cloud Firestore, which encrypts data at rest. Access rules allow only the members of your family to read or change your family's records.

Your Rights

You can view, export, correct, or delete your information in the app at any time, or contact us to request a copy or deletion.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date above.
