Here’s our commitment to your privacy
Summary
We will NEVER rent, share, or sell ANY of our user data.
Bitsboard is fully functional without creating or adding ANY student specific data. No email is required
You can create a Bitsboard account with an email and password if you like to be able to get access to your Bitsboard account across devices and if you would like to link students to a main user (i.e. teacher). This is used only to make the app work easily for you the teacher.
You can also turn cloud sync ON if you want to backup your data and sync all data across devices. This feature is optional and for the user benefit only. If you want all user data to stay on the local device do not use cloud sync. Even if you do use cloud sync we have no ability to access the data from our end which is why we can never help with recovery if you lose your email and password.

Student Data Privacy Questions
Are our apps intended for K-12 students?
Yes, our apps are intended for users ranging from 2 to 99+years so K-12 students are definitely part of our target market.
Is there any tracking of student information, if so what does this include?
All tracking is optional. All of our apps can be used without creating any student accounts. Some of our apps offer the ability to track user progress but the user account can be anonymous and does not require an email account. In other words, the student, teacher, and parent are always in control and can decide what if anything gets tracked.
What student data is collected, including metadata, and how is that data used?
Please see the answer above. Most of our apps collect zero student data. If you decide to create a student account with an email address, then some of our apps will track user activity within the app so that the student, teacher, or parent can see how the student is doing. As we said above, students can always create user accounts without any email if they prefer to have everything anonymous.
Which 3rd party companies do you share data with? Do they adhere to your privacy policy and terms of service?
None.
Is any student data used for the purpose of advertisement or marketing?
No.
Is student information disclosed or sold and if so to who?
No. We have and will never disclose or sell any student information to anyone.
Is your tool and company FERPA, CIPA, COPPA, and SOPIPA, and AB1584 compliant?
We are not familiar with all of the above acronyms but we try to follow best practices in terms of ensuring our user privacy.
What do you do with student data after the data is no longer needed?
Nothing. First, the majority of our apps collect zero student data. For the apps that do collect student data, the student, teacher, or parent can delete all data at anytime. Plus, you can also track data anonymously if you like.
