These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern use of Journey Tracker ("the Platform"), operated by Acton Academy ("we," "us"). These Terms apply to Campuses and their authorized guides, staff, and administrators that access or use the Platform. Students access the Platform as authorized users through their Campus, and parents and guardians receive the privacy rights and notices described in our Privacy Policy.
Journey Tracker is an educational progress-tracking platform used by independently owned Acton Academy campuses ("Campuses"). Campuses independently choose whether to adopt the Platform and are responsible for their own local legal compliance, including obtaining any school, parent, or guardian authorizations required under applicable law. Acton Academy, as operator of the Platform, is responsible for operating Journey Tracker in accordance with its applicable obligations regarding the collection, use, disclosure, retention, and protection of personal information processed through the Platform. Acton Academy provides the notices and privacy information reasonably necessary for Campuses to make authorization decisions and for parents and guardians to exercise their rights under applicable law.
Campuses and their authorized guides and staff are the institutional users of the Platform and are bound by these Terms. Students are authorized users through their Campus. Parents and guardians of students receive privacy rights and notices as described in our Privacy Policy and are not bound to broader institutional obligations under these Terms merely by their child's use of the Platform through a Campus.
Students may be enrolled at any age. Where the Platform is used by children under 13, the Campus is responsible for ensuring that appropriate parental consent or school authorization required under applicable law is in place before any student data is entered. Guides, Campus Owners, and Network Admins must be at least 18. You agree to provide accurate information and keep your account secure.
The Platform is for educational use only. We do not require students to provide more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the Platform's educational features. You may not:
We collect personal information and educational content through the Platform solely for school-authorized educational purposes. We do not use student personal information for targeted advertising or other non-educational commercial purposes. Please review our Privacy Policy for details on what we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
AI Features: Certain Platform features use third-party AI service providers that act solely as service providers to process data on our behalf to deliver requested educational functionality. Such providers may not use student data for model training, advertising, profiling, or independent product development. Categories of information involved and applicable safeguards are described in our Privacy Policy.
Security: We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information processed through the Platform, and we require service providers that process such information on our behalf to maintain appropriate confidentiality, security, and use restrictions.
Service providers: We may use third-party service providers to host, secure, maintain, and support the Platform, subject to written contractual restrictions consistent with these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
Children under 13: Where children under 13 use the Platform, the Campus is responsible for ensuring appropriate parental consent or school authorization is in place under applicable law before any data is entered.
Parental rights: Parents or legal guardians may request to review, correct, delete, or refuse to permit further collection or use of a child's personal information as described in our Privacy Policy. Requests may be submitted through the Campus or directly to Acton Academy at privacy@actonacademy.org.
Retention: We retain children's personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Platform's educational services and satisfy applicable legal obligations, after which such information is deleted or de-identified in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Acton Academy owns all rights to the Platform. You retain ownership of content you create and submit. By submitting content, you grant Acton Academy a limited license to store, process, and otherwise use that content solely to provide the Platform's educational services. Student work is never sold or used for non-educational purposes.
The Platform is provided "as is." We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability or error-free operation. AI-generated feedback is for educational support only and may contain errors — it does not replace human evaluation by Guides.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Acton Academy's total liability for any claim arising from use of the Platform is limited to the amount paid by the Campus in the twelve months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
Campus Owners agree to indemnify and hold harmless Acton Academy from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from their use of the Platform, including failure to obtain required parental consent or school authorizations or to comply with applicable privacy laws.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
We may suspend or terminate access for violation of these Terms. Student educational records may be retained after termination only as described in our Privacy Policy, including where reasonably necessary to preserve learner access to educational history and satisfy applicable legal obligations. Campus Owners may request deletion of Campus data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas. Disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Travis County, Texas.
