Lumi Academy ("we," "us," or "our") is an interactive K–8 homeschool curriculum platform operated by YourSpace LLC. The service is available at lumi-learning.web.app. Lumi Academy serves children ages 2–14 exclusively through parent- or guardian-managed accounts.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and our own values require that we protect children's privacy with the highest care. Here is exactly how we comply:
Only parents or legal guardians may create Lumi Academy accounts. No child under age 13 (or any age) may register independently. When you create an account, you confirm that you are the parent or legal guardian of any child learner profiles you add.
We obtain verifiable parental consent before any information is collected in connection with a child's educational activity. By creating a parent account and adding a child profile, you provide consent for us to collect and use the educational data described in this policy. You may withdraw consent at any time by requesting account deletion (see Section 5).
We do not collect personal information directly from children. All information associated with a child learner profile is entered by the parent. The following data is stored:
| Data Type | What It Is | Purpose | Who Provides It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Child's first name or nickname | Display name for the learner profile | Personalization | Parent |
| Age range | Age bracket (e.g., "6–8") | Curriculum selection | Parent |
| Grade level (optional) | Grade selection for Academy track | Lesson alignment | Parent |
| Lesson history & scores | Which lessons were completed and performance scores | Progress tracking, adaptive curriculum | System (generated by activity) |
| Standards mastery | CCSS/TEKS standards addressed by completed lessons | Educational reporting, progress reports | System (generated by activity) |
| XP, level, badges, streak | Gamification metrics | Motivation and engagement | System (generated by activity) |
We do not collect: voice recordings, photos, videos, biometric data, precise geolocation, social media identifiers, or any information beyond what is listed above.
We never display third-party advertising to child users. We never use children's data for behavioral advertising. We never sell, rent, or share children's data with advertisers or marketing companies.
We only collect the minimum information necessary to provide the educational service. Child profiles use nicknames or first names — no last names, contact information, or social identifiers are required or stored.
| Data Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Email address | Login, account management, service communications, billing |
| Name (optional) | Personalizing account communications |
| Subscription & payment status | Access control; payment is processed by Square (we do not store card numbers) |
| Device identifiers | Firebase authentication and app security |
You have the following rights with respect to your account and your child's data. All requests are processed within 7 business days.
You can view all data associated with your account and child profiles at any time through the Lumi Academy app. You can also generate a formal Progress Report from the Parent Dashboard that includes all lesson history, standards mastery, and performance data.
You can update your child's name, age range, and grade level directly in the Parent Dashboard at any time.
You may request deletion of your account and all associated data (including all child profiles and educational records) in two ways:
You may withdraw your consent for us to collect and process your child's educational data at any time by requesting account deletion as described above.
We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for their own purposes. We share data only with the following service providers who are contractually bound to use it solely to provide services to us:
| Service Provider | Purpose | Data Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase | Authentication, database, hosting, cloud functions | Account data, lesson records (encrypted in transit and at rest) |
| Square | Payment processing | Email address only; card data goes directly to Square and is never stored by us |
| Curriculum Generation Service | Generating personalized lesson content | Age range and subject topic only — no child name or identifiable information |
| ElevenLabs (optional) | Text-to-speech audio (only if parent enables this feature) | Lesson text strings only — no personal information |
All data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS. Data at rest is protected by Google Firebase's security infrastructure, which includes AES-256 encryption and SOC 2 Type II certification. We use Firebase Security Rules to ensure that each parent can only access their own account and children's data.
We retain account and educational data for as long as your account is active. Upon account deletion, all personal data (parent account, child profiles, lesson history, standards records) is permanently deleted within 7 business days. Anonymized, aggregated usage statistics (no personal identifiers) may be retained for service improvement purposes.
Lumi Academy aligns its curriculum with nationally recognized educational standards:
Progress reports generated through the Parent Dashboard identify which standards have been addressed and can be used for homeschool portfolio documentation, co-op submissions, or state review requirements.
Lumi Academy uses browser local storage and session storage to maintain login state and cache lesson progress for a smooth offline-capable experience. We do not use third-party tracking cookies, behavioral advertising pixels, or cross-site tracking technologies. Firebase Analytics may collect anonymized, aggregated usage data (no personal identifiers) for service improvement.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email and by posting a notice in the app at least 30 days before the changes take effect. The updated policy will always be available at lumi-learning.web.app/privacy-policy.
For any privacy questions, data requests, or COPPA inquiries, please contact our Privacy Officer:
We are committed to responding to all privacy-related inquiries within 5 business days.
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the United States. Lumi Academy operates in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506), the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and applicable state privacy laws.
