Class Dash has no accounts, no server-side database, and no analytics. Everything you enter stays in the browser you entered it in. Nothing is transmitted to us, because there is no server to transmit it to.
Class Dash writes to a single key in your browser's local storage, named classdash.v1, on the device you are using. That entry holds:
Be aware that student first names are student data. If you type them in, they are stored in that browser profile on that computer. They are not sent anywhere, but they are readable by anyone who can unlock and use that device, and by anyone who opens a backup file you export. Treat the device and the backup file the way you would treat a paper roster.
Nothing, until you deliberately embed something. The application code contains no analytics, no tracking pixels, no content delivery networks, no web fonts, and no code that sends data anywhere. The only outbound connections are ones you create:
| If you | Then |
|---|---|
| Add a video to a plan | Your browser loads it from youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube's reduced-tracking embed domain |
| Add a Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, or Forms link | Your browser loads a preview from docs.google.com |
| Add a Spotify or YouTube playlist under Music | Your browser loads that service's player from open.spotify.com or youtube.com |
| Add any other link | Your browser loads that address directly |
Those requests come from your browser to that company, exactly as they would if you opened the site in a tab. Their own privacy policies and your district's filtering rules apply. Class Dash sends them no information about you, your classes, or your students. If you never use those features, the application makes no outbound requests at all after the page loads.
The site is served as static files by Netlify. Like any web host, Netlify records ordinary server request logs, which can include IP address, timestamp, and browser user agent. That is a property of loading any web page and is not specific to Class Dash. We do not read, export, or analyse those logs.
The form on the contact page is the one place where you can send us something. Whatever you type there, including an email address if you provide one, is delivered to us through Netlify Forms so we can reply. Please do not put student information in it.
We do not describe Class Dash as "FERPA compliant" or "COPPA compliant", because those laws place obligations on schools and on operators who collect data, and a self-declared label on a product page means very little to a careful reviewer. What we can state plainly:
If your district requires a signed data privacy agreement, a completed vendor questionnaire, or an entry in a state privacy consortium, please use the contact form and say which one. We would rather complete your paperwork than ask you to take a claim on a web page at face value.
Because there is no server copy, deletion is immediate and complete. There is nothing for us to purge on request, and no retention period to disclose.
Class Dash is a tool for a teacher to run from the front of a room. It is not designed for students to use individually and asks nobody, adult or child, to create an account or supply any information about themselves.
If this notice changes, the date at the top changes with it. If a change ever meant that data began leaving the device, that would be stated at the top of this page in plain language rather than buried in a revision.
