Graduated News — SW Products LLC
Effective Date: May 10, 2026
Last Updated: May 10, 2026
From Parents and Teachers: We collect your email address and password when you create an account. Payment information is collected and stored by Stripe — we do not store credit card numbers or other payment details on our servers.
From Children (Through Parent Accounts): Children do not create accounts. Parents create child profiles with a display name, date of birth, and reading level. We collect reading activity associated with each child profile: articles read, quiz scores, quiz answers, time spent reading, and reading streaks. We do not collect photos, videos, audio recordings, or precise geolocation from children. Children cannot make information publicly available on the Service.
Automatically Collected: We use PostHog for product analytics using anonymous user IDs. We collect page views and feature usage to improve the Service. We do not engage in behavioral advertising of any kind.
We use collected information to operate and improve the Service, provide reading progress reports to parents, generate AI-powered insights about reading habits, process payments through Stripe, send transactional emails through Resend, and enforce daily read limits where applicable. Article rewrites and quizzes are generated by Anthropic Claude. No child personally identifiable information is sent to the Claude API — only the source article text is transmitted.
Verifiable parental consent is required before any child profile is created. Children do not authenticate directly — all child sessions are inherited from the parent account. For teacher sharing, parents provide verifiable parental consent when a child enters a class code, covering current and future teacher connections in that classroom. We do not engage in behavioral advertising of any kind directed at children. We practice data minimization — a child's display name need not be their legal name. Parents may view all data associated with their child profiles via the parent dashboard and may request deletion by contacting us at support@graduated.news. Deletion requests are fulfilled within 30 days.
We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We share information with teachers only with explicit parental consent, and only the following: display name, reading level, and quiz performance. Parent email addresses, payment information, and dates of birth are never shared with teachers. Our service providers — including Supabase, Stripe, Resend, PostHog, Vercel, and Anthropic — are contractually prohibited from using data for their own purposes beyond providing services to us. We may disclose information as required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Graduated News or others.
We use HTTPS/TLS for all data transmission, row-level security in our database, server-side authentication, and secure environment variables for credentials. While we take security seriously, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data for active accounts is retained while the account remains active. When a child profile is deleted, all associated reading activity, quiz data, and snapshots are deleted within 30 days. When a parent account is deleted, all child profiles and their associated data are deleted within 30 days. Anonymized aggregate data — containing no personally identifiable information — may be retained indefinitely for research and product improvement purposes.
Parents may access all data associated with their child profiles via the parent dashboard, request a copy of their data, request deletion of their data, and revoke teacher sharing at any time. Teachers may access only data to which parental consent has been granted and may not export data outside the Service except for the Conference Report shared with a child's parent or guardian. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@graduated.news.
We will notify you by email of any material changes to this Privacy Policy before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after notice constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
