Safeguarding and data
The strongest claim we can make is the plainest one: we do not collect it.
Most school software answers the data question with a list of the protections wrapped around what it holds. This answers it by holding almost nothing. You cannot leak what you never collected.
True today
No personal data collected
We do not ask students for an email address, a surname, or a date of birth. There is no field for any of it.
Sign in with a code
A student types the code on their card and picks a display name. Only the teacher knows which pupil that name belongs to.
No AI chat for students
The adult version of the app has a literary companion. It is switched off entirely for school accounts. Students get books, not a chatbot.
No ads, no third-party tracking
There is nothing to sell and nobody to sell it to. No advertising network ever sees a student.
Private by default
No leaderboards, no public profiles, no notifications unless the school asks for them.
You are the data controller
The school controls the data and we process it on your instruction. A data processing agreement is available for your DPO.
Accreditations and compliance
None of these are in place yet, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. This is the compliance work we have committed to, with an honest status against each one.
The UK government-backed baseline. We are working toward certification before the first paid licence.
A data protection impact assessment covering the whole student experience.
A published conformance statement against the ICO Age Appropriate Design Code.
We are verifying the hosting region and will state it plainly once confirmed.
An information security standard we intend to pursue, but have not begun.
We will update this page the moment any of them changes, and we will tell every pilot school directly rather than waiting to be asked.
One honest note
These are the classics, and some of them contain adult themes, as literature does. You choose what you set and what you point students toward, exactly as you would with the bookshelf in your classroom.
We would rather say that plainly than have you discover it in week three.
