Information we collect

ClassCheckpoint collects limited information necessary to operate the service:

• Google account information (name and email address)
• Class roster information imported from Google Classroom (first and last name only)
• Student break time data generated through use of the application

We limit the collection of personal information to what is reasonably necessary to operate the service.

The information collected is used to:

• Manage and track student break times

We do not sell personal data to third parties.

Google API services

This application uses Google Classroom API services to:

• Access class rosters with teacher authorization
• Import student names into the ClassCheckpoint system for break management

ClassCheckpoint only accesses and stores the minimum information required to provide the service. Use of Google information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Data security

ClassCheckpoint implements reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These safeguards include the use of reputable cloud infrastructure and widely accepted security practices.

While we take reasonable steps to protect the information we process, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. As a result, ClassCheckpoint cannot guarantee absolute security of information.

Security practices may evolve over time as technologies and best practices change.

Educational privacy considerations

ClassCheckpoint is designed for use by teachers and educational institutions. We strive to minimize the collection of personal information and apply privacy-by-design principles when developing the service.

Schools and districts should review their own policies and legal obligations when determining whether to use the service.

We retain account and classroom data for the duration of an active account. Users may delete their data through the Data Management section of their account settings.

• Delete All Data — Removes all classroom data while keeping the account active
• Delete Account — Permanently deletes the user account and all associated data

We make reasonable efforts to permanently delete selected data from active systems. Some information may remain temporarily in backups or logs for operational, legal, or security purposes.

Deleted data cannot be recovered once the deletion process has completed. Users should back up any information they wish to retain before initiating deletion.
