What Children's information is visible to others?

No Student's Account or profile is made available or visible to the general public through Classroom Hero. Classroom Hero does not knowingly post any child's personal information publicly online.

For students using Classroom Hero in the classroom, only the student, the student's teacher, School Leaders connected to the child's class, and linked parent accounts can see the student's individual Student Account and progress data. This includes points earned, marketplace purchases, avatar customizations, and game progress.

Parent Account Access: Teachers can link parents to individual students through the platform. When linked, parents can sign in to view basic information about their student's profile and progress. However, Classroom Hero does not currently have parent-to-teacher communication features or messaging systems. Parent access is limited to viewing their own child's account information only.

What Teachers, School Leaders, and Linked Parents Can See:

Student's points earned through teacher-defined Actions

Marketplace transaction history (items purchased and when)

Avatar customizations and appearance choices

Progress in the Mysteria open-world game (treasure chests found)

Quiz completion data and scores

Class Goal participation and progress

Student's first name (and last name if provided by teacher)

Limited Classroom Visibility:

Other students in the same class can see each other's names and avatars

If a teacher chooses to display aggregated point totals to the class, students may see each other's total points (but not individual point-earning actions or reasons)

Students cannot access each other's individual accounts or detailed progress data

Classroom Leaderboards:

Students can view a classroom-only leaderboard showing which students have found the most treasure chests in the Mysteria game

The leaderboard displays avatars rather than student names for additional privacy protection

Avatar Visibility:

When students interact in the same classroom environment, their customized avatars are visible to classmates

Avatar customizations made by students are visible when they participate in classroom activities

Students access their accounts exclusively through teacher-provided classroom codes. After entering a class code, students select their own name from their teacher's roster. Students may optionally set a 4-digit security code to prevent other students from accidentally accessing their account, though teachers can override this when necessary for classroom management.

Teachers have several options to control student information visibility:

Teachers can choose whether to display point totals to the class or keep them private

Teachers can enable or disable the Mysteria game feature entirely

Teachers can control whether students can see aggregated class statistics

Teachers can delete individual student records or entire classes at any time

Individual marketplace purchases are private between the student and teacher

Point-earning activities and their reasons are visible only to the student, teacher, and School Leaders

Class Goals progress may be visible to all students in the class as it's a collaborative feature

Student accounts and profiles are never visible to the general public

No student information is shared on social media or public websites

Student data cannot be accessed by users outside the specific classroom environment

Anonymous Analytics: When usage data is shared with our analytics providers (PostHog, Google Analytics), all student information is anonymized and cannot be traced back to individual students.

Secure Identifiers: We use MD5 hashed usernames and secure identifiers rather than storing easily identifiable information.

Session Management: Temporary JWT tokens are used to maintain secure login sessions without storing persistent personal information on devices.

No Social Features: Classroom Hero does not include social networking features, friend lists, or student-to-student messaging.

No Parent Communication Features: While parents can be linked to view their child's basic account information, Classroom Hero does not include parent-to-teacher messaging, communication tools, or collaborative features between parents and teachers.

No Public Profiles: Student profiles are never made public or searchable.

No Cross-School Visibility: Students from different schools or classes cannot see each other's information.

No Performance Data Sharing: Individual academic performance data is not shared with other students.

Teachers maintain full control over student visibility and can:

Delete individual student accounts and all associated data

Remove entire classes and all student information

Adjust privacy settings for their classroom

Export student data before deletion if needed for educational records

No Student's Account or profile is made available or visible to the general public through Classroom Hero. Within the classroom, students can see each other's names, avatars, and limited aggregated information like point totals (if the teacher chooses to display them). Teachers, School Leaders, and linked parents have access to individual student progress for educational and family engagement purposes. Classroom Hero includes basic parent account linking but does not have parent-to-teacher communication features, keeping the focus on the student's educational gamification experience.
