Last updated: 1 July 2026

Bright Path Home Education respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, protect and share personal information when you use our website, app, services, subscriptions, reports, AI-supported features and related communications.

Bright Path is designed to support home educating families by helping parents and carers record learning, track progress, organise resources, create portfolios and generate reports. Because the app may involve information about children, we treat privacy and data protection as especially important.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside our Cookie Policy and any Terms and Conditions that apply to the use of Bright Path.

Where this information is entered by you, it may be processed as part of providing the Bright Path service. Please only add sensitive information if you are comfortable storing it digitally and believe it is necessary for your own record keeping.

We may delete or restrict content if we believe it creates a safety, privacy or legal risk.

Contract

We use this where processing is necessary to provide the Bright Path service you have signed up for, including account access, app functionality, subscriptions and customer support.

Vital interests

In rare circumstances, we may use or share information where necessary to protect someone’s life or safety.

7. Children’s information

Children’s personal information deserves particular care.

Bright Path is designed to be used by parents and carers, who choose what information to record. We do not intentionally market directly to children.

Parents and carers should consider the child’s privacy before adding information and should avoid unnecessary or excessive details.

Where appropriate, parents and carers should consider the child’s age, understanding and views when deciding what to record.

You can edit or delete child learning records within your account, subject to technical limitations, backup periods and any legal obligations that may apply.

8. AI reports and progress analysis

Bright Path may include AI-supported features that help generate summaries, progress analysis, learning reports, reflections or suggested next steps based on information you choose to enter.

```
Progress entries
```
```
Resource lists
```
```
Parent reflections
```
```
Portfolio content
```
```
Report history
```
```
Other information you choose to include
```

AI-generated content is intended to support parental reflection and planning. It is not legal advice, educational assessment, medical advice, safeguarding advice or a substitute for professional judgment.

AI outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate or unsuitable for your circumstances. You are responsible for reviewing and deciding how to use any AI-generated content.

Bright Path does not use AI to make legally binding or similarly significant decisions about children.

We do not intentionally permit children’s personal information to be used to train public AI models. If this changes, we will update this Privacy Policy and seek consent where required.

Where AI providers are used, they are expected to process information only as needed to provide the relevant service and subject to appropriate data protection safeguards.

9. Record keeping and government or local authority matters

Bright Path can help parents and carers keep organised records of home education activity, learning progress, resources, reports and reflections.

Bright Path is not a legal advice service and does not guarantee compliance with any local authority, government, school or education requirement.

Parents and carers remain responsible for understanding their own legal responsibilities and deciding what information to share with any third party.

We do not share your child’s home education records with local authorities, schools, government bodies or other third parties unless:

```
You ask us to
```

You choose to export or share the information yourself

```
We are legally required to do so
```

It is necessary to protect someone’s vital interests

It is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims

10. Base44 app protection and hosting

Bright Path is built and operated using Base44 for app development, hosting and related functionality.

Base44 states that it provides security and privacy measures including authentication controls, permission controls, encryption, security scanning, GDPR-aligned practices, a Data Processing Agreement, ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type II certification.

Where Bright Path uses Base44 services, Base44 and its approved service providers may process information necessary to provide, host, secure and maintain the app.

This may include:

```
Account information
```
```
App data
```
```
Learning records
```
```
Uploaded content
```
```
Usage information
```
```
Technical logs
```
```
Security information

Wix states that its billing services use Transport Layer Security and meet PCI DSS compliance standards.

We do not store your full card number, CVV or full payment card details on Bright Path systems.

Payment providers may process payment data as independent controllers or processors depending on the nature of the transaction.

We may receive limited payment and subscription information so we can:

```

```
```
