Privacy Policy
Last updated November 13, 2026
This is a working draft and has not had legal review yet. It describes how Autobahn works today and will be replaced by the reviewed version before paid plans begin.
The short version
Autobahn holds your family's school records so that you can run your homeschool. We use that information to provide the service to you and for nothing else. We don't sell it, and we don't show ads.
What we hold
- About you: your name, email address, a scrambled (hashed) copy of your password, your family's name, home state and time zone.
- About your students, entered by you: names, grade level, birth year or date, courses, assignments, schedules, grades, hours and attendance, quiz answers, and transcript details.
- Things you add: course plans, notes, and files you upload or submit to the Marketplace.
- Technical records: sign-in sessions and basic server logs needed to run and secure the site.
Children
Students don't sign up on their own. A parent adds each student and may create a login for them with a username and password; no email address is collected for a student and we never email a student. A student's login shows only that student's own schedule, grades and assigned work.
Who else handles the data
We use a small number of companies to run Autobahn. They process data only to provide their service to us:
- Cloudflare hosts the app, its database and uploaded files.
- Anthropic provides the AI model behind the help chat and the schedule reader. When you use them, your question or file, and the details of your family's setup needed to answer it, are sent to Anthropic. Turning AI features off in Settings stops this.
- An email provider will send account emails (verifying your address, resetting a password) once email is switched on.
- A payment processor will handle card payments once paid plans begin. Autobahn will not store card numbers.
Other families
Your records are visible only to your family's logins. If you join a co-op class in Community, the members of that class can see what you post there and your students' names in that class.
Keeping and deleting
We keep your records for as long as you have an account. You can ask for a copy of your family's data, or for your account and everything in it to be deleted, and we will do so.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app before the change applies.
