Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 27, 2026

The short version

We collect only what's necessary to provide coaching. Your lesson plans are never shared, sold, or used to train AI models. You can delete your data anytime.

LessonCoach (“the App”) is owned and operated by Piratech, LLC. The instructional coaching methodology is developed by Dr. Tammy Allen. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your information.

Payment is processed entirely by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number or payment details.

If you contact support, we store your message, any attached files, and your contact information to resolve your issue.

Third-Party Services

Clerk (Authentication)

District Plans

If your school or district has purchased a LessonCoach plan, your district administrator may have access to aggregate usage data (number of sessions, coaching areas flagged most frequently). Your district administrator does NOT have access to your individual lesson plans or coaching feedback. Your individual coaching sessions remain private to you.

Data Retention

  • Account data: Retained as long as your account is active
  • Coaching sessions: Retained until you delete them or close your account
  • Deleted sessions: Removed from your view immediately. Anonymized data may be retained for analytics.
  • Support tickets: Retained for 2 years, then deleted
  • Payment records: Retained as required by law (typically 7 years)

Your Rights

You have complete control over your data:

  • View your coaching history anytime from your dashboard
  • Download coaching PDFs at any time
  • Delete individual coaching sessions from your history
  • Update your teaching profile anytime
  • Close your account by contacting support@lessoncoach.us — we will delete all your data within 30 days

Children’s Privacy

LessonCoach is designed for teachers, not students. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has created an account, we will delete it immediately.

Data Security

  • All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Database access requires authentication and row-level security
  • API endpoints validate user ownership before returning data
  • Storage buckets for PDFs and attachments are private (signed URLs only)
  • Third-party services (Clerk, Supabase, Stripe) maintain SOC 2 compliance

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of changes by updating the “Last Updated” date. Continued use of LessonCoach after changes constitutes acceptance.
