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.

Cyber Essentials
Planned before launch

The UK government-backed baseline. We are working toward certification before the first paid licence.

A completed DPIA
In progress

A data protection impact assessment covering the whole student experience.

Children's Code
In progress

A published conformance statement against the ICO Age Appropriate Design Code.

UK data residency
To be confirmed

We are verifying the hosting region and will state it plainly once confirmed.

ISO 27001
A later ambition

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.
