This Privacy Policy is written in plain English. It applies to your use of the Your Staff Room website and services located at yourstaffroom.com.au. By using our services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Who we are

Your Staff Room is operated by an individual educator under ABN 38 234 407 780. We are subject to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

We provide a suite of AI-assisted planning tools for Australian educators, including lesson planning, term planning, report writing, behaviour support, and related resources. Our registered business operates in Australia and our primary audience is Australian educators.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide directly

When you create an account or use our services, we may collect:

Information we collect automatically

When you visit our site, we may collect:

A note about student information: Our tools may ask you to describe your students in general terms (for example, "three students with school anxiety"). We strongly recommend you never enter identifying student information such as full names, student ID numbers, or detailed medical records into our tools. Refer to students by first name only, or use descriptors such as "Year 5 student" or "a student with a hearing impairment."

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

Providing and improving the service

Communication

Legal and safety

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your personal information for advertising or marketing purposes beyond communicating with you about our own services.

4. Third-party services

We use a small number of trusted third-party services to operate Your Staff Room. Each of these has their own privacy policy.

Memberstack

We use Memberstack to manage user accounts, authentication, and subscription tiers. When you create an account, your name and email address are stored with Memberstack. Their privacy policy is available at memberstack.com/privacy.

Stripe

Subscription payments are processed by Stripe. Your Staff Room never receives or stores your credit card details. Stripe processes your payment information under their own security standards. Their privacy policy is available at stripe.com/au/privacy.

Netlify

Our website is hosted on Netlify's infrastructure, which processes standard web traffic data including IP addresses. Netlify's privacy policy is available at netlify.com/privacy.

Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts to display our site typography. Google may collect technical data such as your IP address when font files are loaded. See Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

5. AI processing and Anthropic

The AI-powered tools on Your Staff Room are built using Anthropic's Claude AI model. When you submit a request through any of our tools, the content of your request (including any class context you have described) is sent to Anthropic's API for processing.

What this means in practice: The text you type into our tools passes through Anthropic's servers in the United States to generate a response. This is similar to how any AI assistant works. Anthropic's data handling practices are governed by their privacy policy at anthropic.com/privacy.

We do not knowingly send personally identifying student information to Anthropic. We encourage all users to follow our guidance in section 2 and avoid entering identifying details about students.

Anthropic processes API requests under their commercial API terms and does not use API data to train their models without separate agreement.

6. Data storage and security

Your account data is stored by Memberstack on servers located in the United States. Payment data is stored by Stripe. Your Staff Room itself does not maintain a separate database of user personal information.

Usage counters (daily generation counts) are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is cleared automatically after each calendar day.

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access. These steps include:

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you close your account, you may request deletion of your personal data by contacting us at the address below. Note that we may retain certain information for legal or administrative purposes for a period after account closure.

7. Your rights under Australian law

Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in section 10 below. We will respond to all requests within 30 days.

8. Cookies and tracking

Your Staff Room uses the following types of browser storage:

We do not currently use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party tracking pixels. If this changes, this policy will be updated.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect your ability to log in or use some features of our service.

9. Children's privacy

Your Staff Room is designed for and directed at educators and education professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information without appropriate consent, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to remove that information.

Our tools are designed to help educators work with students. They are not intended for direct use by students.
