Privacy Policy

IREAD Lab ("IREAD Lab," "we," "us") provides online reading practice for Indiana's IREAD-3 third-grade reading assessment at ireadlab.com. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have — especially as they relate to children under 13.

Who uses IREAD Lab

IREAD Lab is used by three kinds of accounts:

• Adults (parents, tutors, teachers, and school administrators) who create an account, manage billing, and oversee the children linked to them.
• Students, whose accounts are created by an adult (a teacher or school provisioning a roster, or a parent adding a child).
• Visitors browsing our public pages (like the blog) without an account.

Information we collect

From adults: name, email address, and — if you subscribe — billing information, which is processed directly by our payment processor, Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.

From students: a first name or nickname, a grade level, a login (which may be a real email you provide, or a school-provided identifier for teacher- or school-managed accounts), and their practice activity — answers, scores, mastery progress, and reading fluency data. Where a student has an accommodation enabled (like text-to-speech), we store that preference.

Automatically: basic technical information needed to operate the site (like error logs, captured through our monitoring tool Sentry, so we can find and fix bugs). We do not use advertising trackers or sell data to advertisers, and we do not run any third-party ad-tracking scripts on IREAD Lab.

Children under 13 and COPPA

IREAD Lab is built to be used by children under the direction of a parent, teacher, or school — not signed up independently by a child. Teacher- and school-provisioned student accounts are created and controlled by the educator or school, consistent with the FERPA "school official" exception, which lets a school use a service like ours to manage education records under its own authority. For accounts a parent creates directly for their child, the parent controls the account and can review, correct, or delete their child's information at any time by contacting support@ireadlab.com.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from a child under 13 outside of an account set up and controlled by their parent, teacher, or school.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to operate the practice platform: generating practice questions at the right level, tracking mastery and fluency progress, showing that progress to the parent, teacher, or school linked to a student, processing subscriptions, and providing customer support. We do not use student data to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell personal information.

Who we share information with

We share information only with the service providers who help us run IREAD Lab, under agreements that limit their use of it to providing that service:

• Supabase — hosts our database and manages account authentication.
• Stripe — processes subscription payments.
• Resend — delivers transactional emails (like district inquiry confirmations).
• Lovable — hosts and helps us build the application.

We do not otherwise sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Data retention and deletion

We retain account information for as long as the account is active. You can request that we delete an account and its associated data at any time by emailing support@ireadlab.com; we'll confirm once it's done.

Security

We use industry-standard practices to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and database-level access controls that restrict each account to only the data it's permitted to see — for example, a teacher can only see their own students, and a parent can only see their own children.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we'll update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify account holders directly.
