Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 20, 2026

Science Artistry LLC (Washington State) operates this website. We built it to show Ayesa's work and make it easy to reach her — not to collect data. This page explains, plainly, what little we handle and how.

The short version

  • You can browse everything on this site without an account, and we set no cookies and run no analytics or advertising trackers.
  • The personal information we receive is what you share in inquiries and your household profile, and the details needed to run your classes. We use it only for that.
  • Payment happens on Stripe's page, not ours. We never see or store a card number.
  • We never sell or share your information for marketing.
  • Private artwork portfolios are included by default, with a parent opt-out. Public use of artwork or photos of students always needs separate permission.

Browsing this site

Reading pages here sends nothing personal to us. Like nearly every website, the services that deliver the site handle standard web requests:

  • Cloudflare hosts and delivers the site and may log requests (such as IP addresses) for security, under Cloudflare's privacy policy.
  • Google Fonts serves the site's typefaces; your browser requests the font files from Google's servers under Google's privacy policy.

We do not run analytics, advertising, social-media pixels, or any cross-site tracking. The only thing the site keeps on your device is a small cache so pages you have already read open when you are offline.

The contact form

When you send an inquiry, the form collects your name, email address, optionally a phone number, what you're reaching out about, and your message. The form is processed by Formspree (their privacy policy), which delivers it to Ayesa by email. We use it only to respond to your inquiry and arrange sessions you ask about. If you'd like an old inquiry deleted, just ask.

Signing in

Signing in is not required to use this website — everything public here is readable without an account. There are two signed-in areas: the studio, where Ayesa writes and manages her lesson library, and My Lessons, where adults manage their household profile, ask about lessons, and find their family’s enrolled classes and private artwork. What a family account can see is the lessons of the class a child is enrolled in, for the length of that term; signing in never opens the whole library.

Anyone may open a family account — you can set up your household and ask about lessons before choosing a class. An account on its own opens nothing beyond the free lessons; a class opens when a place in it is paid for or, for a class that registers through the school, when staff link the registration or its join code is entered. Some programs open each lesson after it is taught. Studio logins for staff, and reading logins for children, are by invitation only and cannot be created any other way. There are two ways in, and neither of them uses a password:

  • Sign in with Google. We ask Google only for your basic profile — your name, email address, and profile picture. We never request and can never see your contacts, calendar, email, files, or your Google password. You can review or revoke this access at any time from your Google Account permissions page.
  • A sign-in link by email. We email a link to the address you give; opening it signs you in on that device. The link works once and expires after about an hour, and asking for one tells us nothing about you but the address. This exists because not every address is a Google one — and because Google will not issue an account to a child under 13, so it is usually the only way a young student can reach their own lessons.

We deliberately do not offer a password. If Ayesa invited you, sign in at the address the invitation was sent to; your class and your children are attached to that address.

The sign-in page gives the same answer to every address — it never confirms or denies that a particular address already has an account. That is on purpose: our families are households with children, and "does this family attend Science Artistry?" is not a question a stranger should be able to ask a web page. If you asked for a link and nothing arrived, check the address for a typo and your spam folder, or just reply to any email from Ayesa.

Accounts and lesson content are hosted by Supabase (their privacy policy), which stores your email address and sign-in record on our behalf. We also store household learning interests and any additional-lesson inquiry, including the lesson format, interests and availability you choose to share, so our staff can follow up. For student profiles we keep their name, preferred name, birth year, grade, school, classroom and enrollment, along with parent or guardian, emergency and authorized pickup contacts. We also keep the dismissal plan, photo preference and any allergy, medication or support information an adult shares for class. We may bring these details over from the program's registration service and ask a parent to review them. Only parents or guardians linked to that household and authorized staff can read these profile details; learner logins cannot. Adding a contact does not create a login or subscribe them to messages.

Signing in keeps a session token in that browser's local storage. It is not a tracking cookie and does not affect visitors browsing public pages. Signing out clears it. We use family information to run classes, support students and provide lesson access; we do not sell it or use it for advertising or profiling. Parents can update profile details in My Lessons and ask us to delete an account or its information.

Paying for a place

When you enroll a child, the payment itself happens on Stripe's checkout page (their privacy policy). We never see, receive or store your card number. Stripe receives your email address, the name on your account and the amount; it sends us back a record of the payment — the amount, the date, the class and your child's first name — which we keep so that we know who has a place and can issue a refund under the program's terms. Refunds are made through Stripe to the card you paid with.

Children

This website is written for parents, guardians, and educators — we do not knowingly collect information from children online, and the contact form is meant for adults. Information about a student (their name, age, or interests) reaches us only when a parent or guardian chooses to share it while arranging sessions.

In the family lesson area, a child is a profile on their parent's account, not a separate login. The profile helps us keep the class roster and the contacts and support details needed during class. We store a birth year, not a full birth date or a child's home address.

A parent may ask us to give their own child a reading login. If they do, we add the email address the parent gives us and nothing else. We never invite a child ourselves, we never take a child's address from the child, and there is no way for a student to sign themselves up. A student login can read the lessons of the class their family is enrolled in and add their own work to their own portfolio — that is all. It cannot pay for anything, change the household, or give permission for any artwork to be shown publicly: publishing a student's work always requires a parent or guardian, and their permission is revocable at any time. Ask us to remove a student login, or anything in it, and we will.

We never send children marketing of any kind. The only email a student login ever receives is their own sign-in link, and only when someone asks for one on the sign-in page.

Student artwork & photos

Ayesa may photograph a student's artwork during class and save it with the child's first name, lesson and class date in the family's private portfolio. This is included by default. A parent or guardian can opt out of new portfolio photos in the child's Profile & contacts in My Lessons, or by contacting Ayesa. Existing artwork stays available unless you ask us to remove it. Only accounts linked to that household and authorized staff can see the portfolio; it is not part of the public gallery. Photo uploads remove camera metadata, including location information. The portfolio stays available after a class term ends.

After Ayesa reviews a lesson session, verified parent accounts receive their child's artwork, a learning summary and any personal note by email. Resend processes those messages on our behalf (their privacy policy). We keep a sending record to track failures and avoid duplicates. These classroom updates do not promote products. Deleting a photo from the portfolio cannot recall an email already sent. Contact Ayesa if you need help with these updates.

Parents may request a branded calendar or T-shirt from selected artwork. We store the request, artwork choices, design text and proof approval privately with the family account. Requesting or approving a design does not charge you or send the artwork to a printer. Ayesa confirms pricing and ordering details separately. Cancel an open edition request before removing the artwork it uses.

Photos from workshops and student artwork appear publicly only with separate permission from the participant — or their parent or guardian. Consent is revocable: if you'd like a public photo of you or your child removed, contact us and it will come down promptly. Keeping a private portfolio, receiving a recap or requesting an edition does not grant public gallery permission.

Your rights

You can ask us what information we hold about you, ask for a copy, or ask for it to be deleted — email or use the contact form and we'll take care of it. We keep inquiry emails only as long as they're useful for working together.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the "Last updated" date above will reflect it. The latest change explains household profiles, additional-lesson inquiries, registration details brought over from a registration service, and the private portfolio opt-out. Public sharing still requires separate permission.
