UPDATED 22 OCTOBER 2026

Your family’s privacy.

This notice describes the free Asta Online School learning preview at astaschool.com. Contact the site operator at support@astaschool.com about your data.

What we store

For parents: first name, email, a password hash, a hashed recovery code, account creation date and acceptance of the preview terms. For learners: a nickname, Year 4 or Year 7, profile creation date, sessions marked complete with dates, written answers, drafts, submission history, parent marks and feedback. For optional independent learner logins, we also store a learner email and a password hash. We do not require a surname, birth date or location. Parents can create, reset or disable learner logins in learner settings.

Why we use it

We use this data to sign parents in, organise their own learners, provide the selected learning material and remember progress, answers and results. Learners and their own parent can view this history; parents can also read drafts and review submissions. Only an adult parent or legal guardian should register and create child profiles. Children use their own restricted login or a parent-opened learner space, under their guardian’s supervision.

Storage and technical information

Account and progress data are stored in a private database on our Namecheap hosting account, outside the public website folder. An essential session cookie keeps you signed in. We store short-lived hashed request identifiers to limit abusive attempts. Our hosting provider may process connection logs needed to operate and secure the service. The portal has no advertising analytics, AI calls, camera or microphone access. It stores answers you enter online, saved drafts, submitted attempts, parent marks and feedback. Notebook work is not stored unless you type a description or answer. It does not automatically grade learners.

The separate marketing pages may load Google Fonts. The learning portal uses system fonts and does not load those external font files. Optional links to curriculum sources open external websites with their own policies.

Your choices

In the parent account area you can download your family data, remove individual learners or delete your family account. Deletion removes application records immediately; hosting security logs and any provider-held backups are separate and may persist under the provider’s retention practices. Contact us for access or correction requests you cannot complete yourself.

Retention and recovery

Your learning records remain until you delete them or ask us to remove them. Security rate-limit records are removed after at most 24 hours on the next application request. Inactive login sessions expire. Save your recovery code: this version does not send email password resets or verify email ownership.

Before a broader launch

This is an early learning preview. We will update this notice before introducing payments, AI features, additional data collection or a different use of learner information.
