Privacy policy

Last updated September 12, 2026

PaperWeek is a weekly homeschool planner. This policy explains what information we collect when you use it, what we do with that information, and how you can get it removed. We keep it short because we collect very little.

What we collect

• Account details. Your name, email address, and a password. Passwords are stored as salted hashes; we never see or store the plain-text password.
• Planning data you enter. Student names, curricula, book titles and ISBNs, page ranges, weekly sheets, and which items were marked complete. Student names are entered by you, the parent or guardian, and are used only to label sheets and plans.
• Waitlist email. If you join the waitlist, we store the email address you submit so we can let you know when PaperWeek opens up.
• Basic server logs. Our hosting provider records request metadata (such as IP address, browser type, and timestamps) for security and abuse prevention, and we use it for rate limiting on sign-in.

What we don't collect

• Sheet photos stay on your device. When you scan a completed sheet, the photo is analysed in your browser. Only the resulting checkbox states are sent to our servers; the image itself is never uploaded.
• We do not run analytics or advertising trackers, and we do not sell or share your data with data brokers.
• We do not knowingly collect information directly from children. PaperWeek accounts are created and used by parents and guardians.

Cookies

We use one session cookie to keep you signed in. It contains no tracking identifiers and is not shared with third parties.

Third-party services

• Cloudflare hosts the application and its database. Your data is stored on Cloudflare's infrastructure.
• Open Library is queried when you look up a book by ISBN or title. Only the search term is sent; no account information accompanies it.

How long we keep it

Your account and planning data are kept until you delete them or ask us to. Waitlist emails are deleted once the waitlist closes or on request.

Your choices

You can edit or delete students, curricula, and sheets from within the app at any time. To delete your account and everything attached to it, or to request a copy of your data, email hello@paperweek.app from the address on your account and we'll take care of it promptly.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we'll update the date at the top and, for significant changes, notify account holders by email.
