Policies — plain language, no surprises.

OatSmart is a desktop homeschool record-keeping app. Parents create profiles for their students and record pictures, assignments, grades, and attendance, then generate reports from those records.

OatSmart — including Premium — is a tool for parents, not for children. The app exists to help parents run their homeschool. Children are not intended to use the app independently or unsupervised. When a Premium activity involves a child, the parent operates the app and guides the child through the game, lesson, or worksheet.

The optional OatSmart Premium subscription is $6.99/month per family and gives the parent access to games, lessons, and worksheets to do together with a child. When an activity is completed, it converts into an assignment that rolls up into your reporting. The subscription renews automatically on your billing date; cancel anytime from inside the app or by emailing us.

All OatSmart data is maintained by you and stored locally on your computer (see the Privacy Policy, Appendix A). You are responsible for backing up your records — the app includes a built-in export function, and we strongly recommend regular backups using your operating system's backup tools or an external drive.

The full, binding Terms of Service for Star Chart (last updated July 23, 2026) are presented inside the app itself — you accept them by tapping “I agree” when the app first opens. This appendix mirrors them so they are also on record here. For Star Chart, where anything below differs from the main Terms above, this appendix controls.

The app is intended for adults — parents, guardians, and educators. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to accept the Terms, and the app asks you to confirm this the first time it runs. If children interact with the app (for example, checking off a routine), they must do so under the supervision and responsibility of an adult who has accepted the Terms.

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on devices you own or control, for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of the app except where the law expressly permits it. The app — including its artwork, design, and code — is owned by Little Oat and protected by intellectual-property laws.

All data you create in the app is stored only on your device. We do not keep copies, and we cannot recover data for you. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your data, including exporting regular backups using the app's backup feature and storing those files safely. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Little Oat is not liable for any lost, missing, corrupted, or unrecoverable data, however caused — including device loss or failure, uninstalling the app, operating system or app updates, software bugs, failed or incomplete exports or imports, damaged backup files, or use of the “Erase all data” feature. Star totals, history, and rewards in the app are a convenience for your family and have no monetary value.

Optional Premium features are offered by auto-renewing subscription billed through your Apple App Store or Google Play account, at the price shown in the app before purchase. Any free trial converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled before the trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel in your store account settings — deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies; we cannot issue refunds directly. We may change subscription pricing or features prospectively; store rules govern how price changes apply to existing subscribers.

You agree not to misuse the app, interfere with its operation, attempt to access it by any means other than the interfaces we provide, or use the feedback feature to send unlawful, abusive, or infringing content. If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the app, we may use them to improve the app without restriction or any obligation to you — please don't send suggestions you consider confidential or proprietary.

The app is a motivational and organizational tool for families. It does not provide medical, psychological, educational, or other professional advice, and outcomes for any child are not guaranteed.

The app is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that data will be preserved. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Little Oat and its owners, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to the app. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the app is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the app in the twelve (12) months before the claim arose, or (b) ten U.S. dollars ($10). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Little Oat from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of the app's Terms or your misuse of the app. You may stop using the app at any time; we may suspend or terminate the license if you violate the Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive — including the data disclaimer, warranty disclaimer, limitation of liability, and indemnification — survive termination.

The app's Terms are between you and Little Oat only — not with Apple Inc. or Google LLC. Apple and Google are not responsible for the app or its content and have no obligation to provide maintenance or support; Little Oat is responsible for the app and for addressing any claims relating to it. If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify the store you obtained it from, which may refund the purchase price; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple and Google have no other warranty obligation. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of the Terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo or on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties, and your use of the app must comply with any applicable third-party terms, such as your wireless data agreement.

The app's Terms are governed by the laws of the U.S. state in which Little Oat LLC is organized (Texas), without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. You may not assign the Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We may modify, add, or remove app features and update the Terms at any time; continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms. The Terms, together with the app's Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement regarding the app.

Questions about the app's Terms: littleoatllc@gmail.com — Little Oat LLC.

The full, binding User Agreement and Terms of Service for Daily Work Tracker (presented in the app as “Daily Homeschool Tracker,” last updated July 21, 2026) are shown inside the app itself; this appendix mirrors them so they are also on record here. For this app, where anything below differs from the main Terms above, this appendix controls.

The app is intended for use by adults — parents, guardians, and educators — to record homeschool activity. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to accept the agreement. Student profiles you create are records you maintain about your students; the app is not directed at children and does not collect information from children directly.

All records you create — students, daily entries, grades, attendance, photos, and settings — are stored locally on your device. We do not host, sync, or keep copies of your records on our servers. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your data, including exporting backups regularly using the Export Backup feature and storing them somewhere safe (for example, cloud storage or email).

Because your data is stored only on your device, Little Oat LLC is not responsible or liable for any lost, deleted, or corrupted data, however caused — including device loss or failure, operating system updates, app deletion or reinstallation, failed or incomplete backups or restores, software defects, or any other cause. Your only safeguard against data loss is the backup you export and keep yourself.

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on devices you own or control, subject to the app's Terms and the rules of the app store you downloaded it from. The app, its design, and its content (excluding your records) remain the property of Little Oat LLC.

Full access to the app requires a subscription after the free trial. Subscriptions are billed through your App Store or Google Play account at the price shown at purchase, renew automatically until cancelled, and can be cancelled anytime in your store account settings. Trials convert to paid subscriptions automatically unless cancelled before the trial ends. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies.

You own the records, photos, and reports you create with the app. Because they are stored only on your device, managing and backing them up is your responsibility.

You agree to use the app only for lawful, personal, non-commercial record-keeping. You will not attempt to reverse engineer the app, interfere with its operation, misuse the feedback service, or use the app in a way that violates any applicable law.

The app is a convenience tool for organizing homeschool records. It is not legal, educational, or compliance advice. Homeschool reporting requirements vary by state and country; you are responsible for confirming that your records, reports, and attendance logs satisfy the requirements that apply to you.

The app is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that data will never be lost or corrupted. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Little Oat LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, arising from your use of the app, and our total liability for any claim will not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.

You may stop using the app at any time. Deleting the app deletes the data stored in it — export a backup first if you want to keep your records. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate the app's Terms.

The app's Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Little Oat LLC is organized (Texas), without regard to conflict-of-law rules. We may revise the agreement from time to time; the “Last updated” date in the app reflects the current version, and continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

The full, binding Terms of Use for Coop Connect are presented inside the app itself; this appendix mirrors them so they are also on record here. For Coop Connect, where anything in this appendix differs from the main Terms above — including billing, liability, and dispute resolution — this appendix controls.

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to create an account and use the app. By using the app, you represent that you meet this requirement, and that any information you provide about family members or other people — including children — is provided by you as their parent or guardian, or with proper authorization.

You are responsible for the information you provide and for all activity that occurs under your account. Signing in uses one-time codes sent to your email address and, optionally, passkeys on your devices — so you are also responsible for keeping your email account and devices secure, since anyone with access to them may be able to sign in as you. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

Coop Connect helps homeschool and learning co-ops organize calendars, announcements, lessons, volunteer and item sign-ups, and member directories. Co-op owners and administrators control their own co-op, including its members, roles, content, and settings. If you join a co-op, you agree that its leaders can manage your membership and view your activity within that co-op. We are not responsible for the conduct of any co-op, leader, or member, or for how a co-op chooses to run itself.

Co-ops use the app to organize real-world activities — classes, field trips, meetups, and volunteering. Those activities are organized, run, and supervised entirely by the co-ops and people involved, not by Little Oat. We do not screen, vet, background-check, or endorse any co-op, leader, or member, and we make no representations about anyone's identity, qualifications, or conduct. You are solely responsible for deciding whom to interact with, for supervising your own children, and for your safety and your family's safety at any activity arranged through the app. The app is a coordination tool only — it is not a childcare, education, or supervision service, and it must not be relied on for emergency or time-critical communication.

Participating in or organizing co-op activities — including classes, field trips, meetups, drop-offs, and volunteering — involves inherent risks to you, your children, and your property, including risks of illness, injury, or loss, and you knowingly and voluntarily assume all such risks. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you — on behalf of yourself, your children, and your family — release and waive any and all claims against Little Oat LLC and its owners, operators, employees, and agents arising out of or relating to any co-op, activity, or interaction organized, discovered, or coordinated through the app, including the acts or omissions of any co-op, leader, member, or other participant. This release applies whether the activity is in person or online, and whether or not Little Oat played any role in its coordination.

Hosting a co-op may require a paid subscription. Subscriptions are offered through, and billed by, the Apple App Store or Google Play (and processed with the help of RevenueCat) — not through our website. Payment is charged to your store account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Except where required by law or store policy, payments are non-refundable. People you invite to your co-op join for free.

You keep ownership of the content you create in the app — announcements, comments, lesson plans, sign-up notes, and similar. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and transmit your content solely to operate and provide the service (for example, showing your announcement to your co-op). You are responsible for your content and represent that you have the rights to share it, including any information about other people or children.

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behavior. Content or conduct that harasses, threatens, exploits, or endangers anyone — especially children — may be removed, and the responsible account suspended or terminated without notice. Co-op leaders can remove content and members within their co-op, and you can report content or members to us at support@littleoatlearners.com; we review reports and act on them promptly. You agree not to: use the app for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms; harass, abuse, threaten, or harm others; post content that is illegal, infringing, harmful, or that you do not have the right to share; attempt to access data, accounts, or co-ops you are not authorized to access; interfere with, disrupt, or overload the service, or attempt to reverse engineer it; or misuse invite links, calendar feeds, or other features of the app.

The app relies on third-party services (such as hosting, notifications, and app-store billing). Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms, and we are not responsible for them.

You are responsible for keeping your own copies of any information that is important to you. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible or liable for any lost, missing, stolen, corrupted, or deleted data or content, or for any inability to access data or content — whether caused by system failures, service outages, unauthorized access or security incidents, your own actions, a co-op leader's or member's actions, third-party services, or any other cause. We do not guarantee that data will be backed up or recoverable.

For Coop Connect, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Little Oat LLC and its owners, operators, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, goodwill, or other intangible losses, or for any personal injury or property damage, arising from or related to your use of (or inability to use) the app or any activity coordinated through it. Our total liability for any and all claims relating to the app will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the app in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) US $50. These limitations apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.

You may stop using the app and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the service. If you own a co-op with other members, you may need to transfer ownership or delete the co-op before deleting your account. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including the disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification — will survive.

If you download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, you also agree to that store's terms. These Terms are between you and Little Oat LLC, not with Apple or Google, and Apple and Google are not responsible for the app or its content or for providing any maintenance or support. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Where the app is licensed through the Apple App Store, it is licensed to you under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, except as expanded by these Terms.

This section affects your legal rights — please read it carefully. You and Little Oat LLC agree to first try to resolve any dispute informally by contacting us at support@littleoatlearners.com; if we cannot resolve it within 30 days, either party may pursue the claim as set out here. Except for claims that qualify for small-claims court and requests for injunctive relief, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the app will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered under the rules of a recognized arbitration provider, rather than in court, and conducted on a written or remote basis where possible. Class action waiver: each party may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If this arbitration agreement or the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in the Texas courts identified in the main Terms, while the remainder stays in arbitration. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing us within 30 days of first accepting the app's Terms and stating that you opt out. For Coop Connect, these Terms are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of Texas.

All app data is stored in a SQLite database in your system's application data folder. On macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/OatSmart/. On Windows: %APPDATA%/OatSmart/. On Linux: ~/.config/OatSmart/

Photos you attach to student profiles or assignments are stored on your computer with the rest of your data. They are never uploaded or transmitted to us.

Records of Premium games, lessons, and worksheets — including completed activities that convert into assignments and roll into your reports — are stored locally with the rest of your data, not on our servers.

The only outbound network call OatSmart makes is a one-time license check when you enter your subscription key. After verification, the app operates fully offline. No student data is transmitted during this check.

We strongly recommend backing up your OatSmart data folder regularly using your operating system's backup tools or an external drive; the app includes a built-in export function. Report cards, transcripts, and worksheets exported as PDFs are saved wherever you choose on your computer and contain no tracking or telemetry of any kind.

Uninstalling OatSmart does not delete your data folder. You retain full ownership of all your records. To fully remove all data, delete the app data folder manually after uninstalling.

We will never add cloud sync, telemetry, or any data transmission to OatSmart without explicit opt-in consent and prior notice. Your family's records are yours — full stop.

Everything you create in the app — student names, avatars, optional birth dates and grade levels, star categories, awards, notes, rewards, claims, and settings — is stored only in the app's local storage on your device. We do not operate accounts, logins, or cloud sync, and this information is never transmitted to us or anyone else by the app. If you delete the app or erase its data, that information is gone from the device.

If you set a profile picture, the app asks permission to use your camera or to pick a photo from your library. The photo you choose is stored only in the app's local storage on your device, alongside the rest of your data. The app never uploads photos anywhere, and it cannot browse your photo library beyond the picture you select.

The app contains no advertising, no analytics or tracking SDKs, and no social features. We do not collect, sell, rent, or share personal information, and we do not build profiles of you or your children.

The app can export your data as a backup file that you save or share using your device's share sheet. Exported files leave the app's storage and are entirely under your control — where you store them, and who can access them, is up to you. Treat backup files as you would any file containing your family's information.

Premium subscriptions are billed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their terms and privacy policies; we never see your payment details. To recognize your subscription, the app uses RevenueCat, a subscription-management service, which processes a randomly generated app identifier and purchase receipt data. This identifier is not tied to your name, email, or your data in the app. RevenueCat's handling of this data is described in its own privacy policy at revenuecat.com.

If you choose to use “Send feedback,” we receive the message you write, the category you pick, your email address if you include one, and basic technical context (app version, platform, and OS version). We use this solely to review and respond to your feedback, keep it only as long as we need it for that purpose, and never use it for marketing. You can ask us to delete feedback you have sent by contacting us.

Reminders (such as the daily award reminder and backup reminder) are local notifications scheduled on your device. They are optional, require your permission, and do not involve any server.

The app is designed to be used by parents, guardians, and educators — not operated by children as an online service. Information about children that you enter (such as a name or avatar) is stored only on your device and is never collected by us. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information through the feedback form, contact us and we will delete it.

You can erase all app data at any time in Settings (“Erase all data”) or by uninstalling the app. Because we do not hold your data, there is nothing for us to delete on our side — except feedback you have sent, which we will delete on request.

Data inside the app is protected by your device's own security — your passcode, biometrics, and device encryption — so keeping your device and any exported backup files secure is in your hands. The small amount of information that does reach us or our service providers (feedback messages and subscription receipt data) is transmitted over encrypted connections and processed in the United States, which may have different data-protection laws than your country.

Depending on where you live (for example, the EEA, the UK, or California), you may have legal rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to complain to a data-protection authority. Because your family's data lives only on your device, you can view, edit, export, and delete it yourself at any time in the app. For the little we do hold — feedback you have sent — contact us and we will honor your request. Where the GDPR applies, we process that information because it is necessary to provide what you asked for, or based on our legitimate interest in improving the app. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law, and we do not use personal data for automated decision-making or profiling.

Questions or requests: littleoatllc@gmail.com — Little Oat LLC.

Everything you enter in the app — student names and photos, daily work entries, grades, attendance, semesters, school name and logos, and your settings — is stored in a local database and local files on your device. This data is never transmitted to Little Oat LLC. We cannot see it, access it, or recover it for you.

The Export Backup feature packages your data into a ZIP file that you choose where to save or share (for example, your own cloud storage or email). Once exported, that file is under your control and subject to the privacy practices of wherever you store it. We never receive a copy.

Subscriptions are processed by Apple's App Store or Google Play and managed through RevenueCat, our subscription infrastructure provider. We receive anonymized subscription status (such as whether a trial or subscription is active) tied to a random app-install identifier — not your name, email, or payment details. Payment information is handled entirely by Apple or Google.

If you use Support & Feedback, we receive what you submit: the feedback type, your message, any screenshot you attach, and basic diagnostic context (app version and device model) to help us investigate. We use it only to respond to you and improve the app.

The app requests permissions only for features you use: camera and photo library access to attach photos to entries and profiles, media library access to save photos you take, and notification permission for the optional daily reminder. Reminders are scheduled locally on your device. You can revoke any permission in your device settings.

The app contains no advertising and no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs beyond the subscription infrastructure described above. We do not sell or share personal information for advertising purposes.

The app is designed for adults. Information about students exists only as records you create and keep on your own device; it is not collected by or transmitted to Little Oat LLC.

Because we hold no copy of your data, we cannot restore it if it is lost or corrupted. Little Oat LLC is not responsible for any lost or corrupted data. Export backups regularly.

Questions? Email littleoatllc@gmail.com or reach us through Settings → Support & Feedback in the app.

The full, binding Privacy Policy for Coop Connect (effective July 23, 2026) is presented inside the app itself; this appendix mirrors it so it is also on record here. For Coop Connect, where anything below differs from the main Privacy Policy above, this appendix controls. Unlike our other apps, Coop Connect is collaborative — so it is the one product where information is stored on our servers.

Coop Connect is a tool for homeschool and learning co-ops, intended for adults — parents, guardians, and co-op organizers — who manage a community's calendar, announcements, lessons, volunteer and item sign-ups, and member directory. The app is not directed to children, and children should not create accounts or use the app directly.

Account details — your display name and email address. Signing in uses one-time codes we email you and, optionally, a passkey. If you set up a passkey, your device shares only a cryptographic public key with us — your fingerprint or face data never leaves your device and is never available to us. Profile and family information — information you add about yourself and your family members, which may include a family member's first name, whether they are a child or an adult, and a child's grade level; you provide this as the parent or guardian responsible for it. Co-op activity — events, RSVPs, volunteer and item sign-ups (and any notes you add), announcements, comments, and lesson plans you create or interact with inside a co-op. Support communications — information you send when you contact us for help.

To operate the app reliably, we collect limited technical information: device and usage data (device type, operating system, app version, and basic log data used to run and troubleshoot the app); push notification tokens (a device token so we can deliver notifications you have enabled — turn them off anytime in Settings or your device settings); and optional diagnostics and analytics — if enabled, aggregated, de-identified information about crashes and feature usage that helps us improve reliability. These are off unless configured, and never include the contents of your co-op posts.

To provide, maintain, and operate the app and its co-op features; deliver notifications and reminders you have enabled; process and manage co-op hosting subscriptions; keep the service secure and prevent fraud and abuse; respond to your support requests; and improve the app and comply with legal obligations.

Coop Connect is a collaboration tool. Information you add to a co-op — your directory profile, family members, RSVPs, sign-ups, announcements, and comments — is visible to other members and leaders of that co-op according to their role. Co-op owners and administrators can manage members and view co-op activity. It is not public, and it is not shared outside your co-ops.

We share information with providers who process it on our behalf: hosting and database providers that store your data securely for us; email delivery providers that send sign-in codes and other account emails; push notification providers (such as Apple, Google, and Expo) that deliver notifications to your device; payment and subscription providers (such as the Apple App Store, Google Play, and RevenueCat) that process co-op hosting subscriptions — we do not receive or store your full payment card details; and optional analytics and error-monitoring providers, where enabled.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose information if required by law or legal process, to enforce our Terms of Use, in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users, the public, or Little Oat LLC.

We do not knowingly allow children to create accounts. Some information about children (such as a first name and grade level) may be entered by a parent, guardian, or co-op leader in order to run the co-op. If you provide information about a child, you represent that you are that child's parent or guardian, or that you have permission to do so. If you believe a child has provided us information directly without authorization, contact us and we will delete it.

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete account, which removes your profile, family members, RSVPs, and sign-ups. Some information may remain in encrypted backups for a limited time or be retained where required by law. Content you contributed to a co-op that others rely on (for example, an announcement) may remain within that co-op unless removed by a leader.

We use reasonable safeguards, including encryption in transit and database access controls, to protect your information — but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Because signing in uses one-time codes sent to your email address, keeping your email account and your devices secure also protects your Coop Connect account.

We are based in the United States, and your information is stored and processed there. If you use the app from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those where you live.

You can view and update your profile and family information in the app, turn push notifications on or off, and delete your account and its associated data at any time. Keep any calendar-feed link private — anyone who has that link can view your event information, so treat it like a password. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, download, or delete the personal information we hold, or to object to or restrict certain processing — exercise them in the app or by emailing support@littleoatlearners.com. We will respond as required by applicable law and will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. Because Coop Connect is a shared co-op tool, some information you contributed may remain visible to your co-ops as described above until a leader removes it.

OatSmart's reports, transcripts, and attendance records are only as accurate as the entries you make. They are organizational documents — they do not, by themselves, establish or guarantee compliance with any state's homeschool requirements.

Premium games, lessons, and worksheets are supplemental materials for a parent to use with a child — not a complete curriculum and not a substitute for parental instruction. You are responsible for reviewing each activity and deciding whether it is appropriate for your child.

Because your records live only on your computer, we cannot recover them if your device fails and you have no backup. Please back up regularly.

Star Chart is a motivational and organizational tool for families. It does not provide medical, psychological, educational, or other professional advice, and outcomes for any child are not guaranteed.

Star totals, history, and rewards in the app are a convenience for your family and have no monetary value. Any reward you set up is your promise to your family, not ours — Little Oat LLC has no involvement in, or responsibility for, the rewards you choose or fulfill.

Your family's data lives only on your device, and we hold no copy — we cannot recover it for you. Using “Erase all data” or deleting the app permanently removes it. Export backups regularly with the app's backup feature and store them safely; Little Oat LLC is not responsible for lost, corrupted, or unrecoverable data.

The app is a convenience tool for organizing homeschool records — it is not legal, educational, or compliance advice. Reports and attendance logs reflect the entries you make, and homeschool reporting requirements vary by state and country; you are responsible for confirming that your records satisfy the requirements that apply to you.

Your records live only on your device, and we hold no copy — we cannot see, access, or recover your data for you. Little Oat LLC is not responsible for any lost, deleted, or corrupted data, however caused, including device loss or failure, OS updates, app deletion or reinstallation, or failed backups. Deleting the app deletes the data stored in it. Your only safeguard is the backup you export with Export Backup and keep yourself — please export regularly.

Co-ops on Coop Connect are independent groups run by their own leaders. Little Oat LLC does not organize, supervise, screen, vet, background-check, or endorse any co-op, leader, administrator, or member, and makes no representations about anyone's identity, qualifications, or conduct. Joining a co-op, sharing information with it, and attending its activities — including meeting other members in person — are entirely at your own discretion and risk.

Coop Connect is a scheduling and organization tool. It is not a childcare, education, or supervision service, and it must not be relied on for emergency or time-critical communication. You remain responsible for supervising your own children at any activity arranged through the app.

Announcements, calendar events, lessons, sign-up sheets, and member directory information are created by co-op leaders and members, not by Little Oat LLC. We are not responsible for their accuracy, appropriateness, or outcomes.

Keep your own copies of any information that is important to you. We do not guarantee that data will be backed up or recoverable, and we are not responsible for lost, corrupted, or deleted data or content — see the app's Terms for details.
