NumPath

Privacy Policy

Last updated 8 October 2026

NumPath is a free adaptive maths check for Australian primary school students. This page explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe. We deliberately collect as little as possible.

What we collect

  • Student first name and year group, entered at the start of the maths check to personalise the report.
  • Answers to maths check questions, with the time taken and the engine's branching decision for each response, so we can produce a strand by strand report.
  • A parent or carer's first name and email address, entered at the start, before your child answers any questions. Both are required to begin the maths check, because the report is sent to that email address.
  • Standard server logs (IP address, user agent, timestamp) retained briefly for security and abuse prevention.

We do not ask for, or store, a student's last name, date of birth, school, address, phone number, or any other identifying information.

How we use it

  • To run the adaptive maths check and pick the next question.
  • To compile the personalised report and deliver it to the email address provided.
  • To improve the question bank and engine over time, in aggregate form (e.g. average difficulty, common gaps).

We do not sell, rent, or share data with third parties for marketing. We do not run advertising trackers on the maths check.

Where it lives

  • Maths check data is stored in Supabase (PostgreSQL hosted on AWS) with row-level security.
  • Report emails are sent via Resend; only the email address you submit is shared with Resend, solely to deliver that one email.
  • The website is delivered through Vercel and fronted by Cloudflare for security and performance.

How long we keep it

  • Maths check sessions and responses are retained while NumPath is operating, primarily so the same family can view their report again later.
  • You can request deletion of a maths check record at any time by emailing hello@numpath.com.au.
  • Email addresses are kept until you ask us to remove them, or you click an unsubscribe link in any email we send.

Cookies

The maths check uses no third-party cookies. The admin panel at /admin uses a single first-party cookie to keep authorised staff signed in. No analytics or advertising cookies.

Children's data

NumPath is designed for use by primary school students under the supervision of a parent, carer, or teacher. We collect only the minimum required to run the maths check (first name, year group, answers) and we do not enable account creation, social features, or content uploads for students.

Your rights

Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you can ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about your child. Email hello@numpath.com.au and we'll respond within 30 days.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we collect or use data, we'll update this page and bump the "Last updated" date. Material changes will be flagged at the top of the page.
