Overview

HomeworkStreak Pty Ltd ("HomeworkStreak", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of all users, particularly children under 18. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

HomeworkStreak is designed for use by students aged 10–17 with parental involvement. We take our obligations under Australian privacy law seriously, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
