Student Privacy
Last updated: September 8, 2026
A one-page summary for school technology and privacy reviewers deciding whether to allow apps.modelteaching.com on a school network. For the full notice, see our Apps Privacy Notice.
What we collect from students
Nothing.
No accounts, no names, no student work on our servers, no cookies, no advertising, and nothing shared or sold. A student opens a page and practices; nothing about them leaves the browser.

How the apps work
A student opens a page and practices. Their answers and results live in that browser tab and disappear the moment the tab closes. Nothing about the student is sent to our servers, and there is no login, profile, or record tied to any student on our end.
Our legal position, briefly
- FERPA does not attach. We hold no education records: no student identity, no server-side record of any student’s work, and no school contracts.
- COPPA is satisfied. The only data we receive is an IP address, used solely for internal operations like running the site and keeping it secure, exactly the purpose 16 CFR 312.5(c)(7) allows without parental consent.
- State student-privacy laws are satisfied. Because we hold no covered information about any student, there is nothing to sell, share, or profile, and a deletion request costs us nothing to honor: there is nothing to delete.
Vendors and what each receives
| Vendor | What they receive |
|---|---|
| Fathom Analytics | Page path, browser type, and country, used to count visits. No cookies, no names, no student data. |
| Vercel | Basic technical request data (like IP address and browser type) needed to host and secure the site. Kept one day. |
| Anthropic | Teacher-typed lesson text, from our teacher-only lesson-planning tool only. Never used by any student-facing app. |
| Resend | The text of a feedback message, only when a teacher or parent chooses to send one through our feedback form. |
Security summary
- All traffic to and from our apps is encrypted.
- A strict content security policy blocks any connection to a destination we have not explicitly allowed.
- Every input our servers accept is validated and size-limited before we do anything with it.
- Rate limits stop any single visitor from overwhelming the service.
- We do not log visitor IP addresses or browsing activity.
