How LearnTiles handles teacher and student data — written in plain English, not lawyer.

Last updated: May 25, 2026

What we collect from teachers

When a teacher signs up, we store an email address, a display name, a hashed password (or a Google account ID for OAuth sign-in), and the lessons, classes, and rosters they create inside LearnTiles. We use the email address to send sign-in confirmations, password resets, and product update notes — never marketing emails from third parties.

What we collect from students

Students do not create accounts. They join a class with a six-character code and a nickname their teacher approves. We store the nickname, the class membership, and the answers they submit while playing a lesson. We do not collect student email addresses, full names, dates of birth, locations, or device identifiers used for cross-site tracking.

COPPA compliance

LearnTiles is designed to be COPPA-safe by default. Because students are identified only by classroom-scoped nicknames, no personally identifiable information about a child is collected, sold, or shared. See our COPPA notice for the full breakdown.

Where data is stored

Application data lives in a managed MySQL database hosted in the United States. Lesson assets — images and audio uploaded inside the studio — are stored in Cloudflare R2 object storage. We use Google Analytics on public, adult-facing pages to understand aggregate website traffic. We do not load Google Analytics on student play pages, join-code pages, the studio, or the teacher dashboard.

Cookies

We use a first-party session cookie to keep teachers signed in. Google Analytics may set analytics cookies on public pages, but we do not use advertising cookies or cross-site ad tracking. Students playing a lesson via a join code do not have analytics scripts loaded on those student-facing pages.

Data retention and deletion

Teachers can delete a class, a lesson, or their entire account at any time from the dashboard. Account deletion removes all associated student rosters, nicknames, and play results within 30 days. To request deletion outside the dashboard, email hello@learntiles.com.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will email registered teachers before the change takes effect.
