Acceptable Use Policy

You must not upload, post, or transmit any content that:

• Sexualizes, exploits, or endangers a minor in any way. We have a zero-tolerance policy for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Suspected CSAM is reported to the NCMEC CyberTipline as required by 18 U.S.C. §2258A and to law enforcement.
• Contains nudity, sexual content, or pornography of any participant — including the account holder. This is a tool for tracking schoolwork; intimate imagery is not appropriate content for the Service regardless of consent.
• Depicts real-world violence, gore, self-harm, or content that promotes any of the above.
• Promotes terrorism, organized crime, or violent extremism.
• Infringes copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual-property rights you do not own or have permission to use. Submit DMCA notices to our designated agent.
• Is unlawful in your jurisdiction or the United States, including controlled-substance content, securities fraud, etc.
• Contains malware, exploit payloads, or is encoded to evade our content scanners (steganography for prohibited content, disguised file types, etc.).

• Harassing, threatening, or doxxing other users or third parties via the Service.
• Sharing another person's private information without their consent.
• Attempting to access another household's data, escalate privileges, or otherwise probe the Service's security posture except via a written security-research agreement with us.
• Reselling, renting, or sublicensing the Service or its data to third parties.
• Automated scraping, mirroring, or bulk-extraction of data beyond your own account's legitimate export needs.
• Using the Service to send spam, phishing, or unsolicited bulk communications.

Attachments are for the work itself: photos of completed worksheets, scanned handouts, project artifacts, field-trip tickets, reading-list snapshots, etc. They are not for personal photos of children or family members. Keep uploads focused on schoolwork artifacts to minimize the risk of an automated content-safety classifier mistaking a normal family photo for something else.

New uploads are quarantined and scanned by an automated content classifier before they become viewable. Most uploads clear within seconds; if a scan can't complete, the content stays quarantined and is not displayed. If the classifier flags an upload as likely-violating, the content is blocked from display and a human reviewer evaluates within a reasonable time. CSAM- grade material is reported to NCMEC and the account is terminated immediately.

False positives happen. If a legitimate upload was incorrectly blocked, contact appeals@homeschoolgenius.org and we'll review.

See something that violates this AUP? Email abuse@homeschoolgenius.org with details. For copyright issues use the DMCA process described in our Terms of Service.

We may, in our sole discretion: warn you, remove or quarantine content, suspend or terminate your account, and report violations to law enforcement. CSAM and threats of imminent violence trigger immediate termination + reporting; other violations may go through a warning step depending on context.
