Why this matters
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) protects children under 13. Most ed-tech platforms ask schools to collect parental consent because the platform itself collects student emails, names, or other personal information. LearnTiles avoids this by design: students are identified only by a nickname inside their teacher's class, so no personally identifiable information about a child is ever collected.
What we collect from students
- A student-chosen nickname (e.g. "Maya", "Green Tiger")
- The class membership ID linking the nickname to the teacher's class
- Answers, scores, and timing the student submits while playing a lesson
What we never collect from students
- Student email addresses
- Student full names or surnames
- Dates of birth or ages
- Home address, school address, or geolocation
- Phone numbers
- Photos or voice recordings unless a teacher explicitly enables a recording tile and the student opts in
- Persistent device identifiers used for cross-site advertising
- IP addresses retained for tracking purposes
How class join codes work
A teacher creates a class and gets a six-character code (e.g. K3T9MX). Students go to /join/<code>, type a nickname, and they're in. The teacher sees the nickname and the student's play results — that's the entire student record.
School and district agreements
Districts that need a signed Data Privacy Agreement, Student Data Privacy Consortium National DPA, or a custom processing addendum can request one at hello@learntiles.com. See Schools & districts for the broader pitch.
