1) Overview
The App helps students practice multiplication facts and stores progress and performance data to adapt practice over time. Depending on how the App is deployed and used, student data may be considered an “education record” under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
2) What data the App may process for students
- Student identifiers
A username (which may be randomly generated) and a backend account identifier. Depending on configuration, an email address may be used for sign-in.
- Learning/progress data
Multiplication fact performance, review scheduling fields, response-time statistics, and session summaries.
- Content uploads (optional)
If enabled, students may upload images/assets for custom scenes; these may be stored in Firebase Storage.
- Technical data
Device/browser information, diagnostic data, and production interaction analytics collected by service providers for security, reliability, and product improvement.
3) Roles and responsibilities
Schools/districts are typically the data controllers for student education records. The App operator is typically a service provider that processes data to provide the service.
If a school uses the App with student accounts, the school is responsible for:
- Obtaining required consents
Including any parent/guardian consent required under FERPA/COPPA and local law.
- Providing notices
Providing any required privacy notices to parents/eligible students.
- Account provisioning
Ensuring student sign-in methods are appropriate for the student population and the school’s policies.
4) Access, correction, and deletion requests
If a school is managing student accounts, requests to access, correct, or delete student data should generally be routed through the school in accordance with its FERPA policies.
Educators and parents who hold a personal account may delete that account and its associated learner profiles, classrooms, and practice history at any time from the Danger Zone on the Profile page.

5) Data security
We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect student data; however, no system is perfectly secure. Schools should evaluate whether the App meets their compliance, security, and procurement requirements.
