PointBase Privacy Policy

School and Education Privacy

PointBase Education stores the information needed to provide its classroom features. This may include a teacher's name, email address, school name, broad state, territory, or education region, optional private introduction, favorite subject, favorite hobby and workspace images; class names and grade groups; student roster display names; challenge codes; scores; answer results; questions answered correctly or incorrectly; and homework participation details such as start, last-activity, and completion times, time spent, response time, and retry history.

This information is used to confirm educator profiles, run classroom and homework challenges, maintain class rosters, calculate scores, and provide participation and progress reports to the teacher. PointBase does not sell this data, use it for behavioral advertising, or disclose it for unrelated commercial purposes.

Students do not need to provide an email address, home address, phone number, photograph, or PointBase account to join a classroom challenge. PointBase creates a colorful initials avatar from each roster display name and may show that student's highest recorded challenge score. Teachers should use student initials or classroom nicknames when required by their school or district and should never enter identification numbers, medical information, or other sensitive student information.

Challenge participants can see the display names and scores used during their shared game room. Saved classroom rosters and detailed answer reports are intended for the registered educator's portal. PointBase does not provide public student profiles, open messaging, or unrestricted student-to-student communication.

PointBase uses carefully selected service providers for website and temporary challenge hosting, secure teacher authentication, protected teacher records, optional teacher images, and account email delivery. Providers may process data only as needed to operate, secure, maintain, or troubleshoot PointBase. PointBase does not authorize them to use classroom data for their own advertising.

Educators must obtain any approval required by their school or district before entering student information. Teacher profiles require email confirmation before activation. Educators can remove roster entries, classrooms, associated reports and rooms, or their complete education account.

Teacher accounts are protected through secure authentication and access-controlled systems. Passwords are never displayed or stored in readable form by PointBase. Sensitive email and password changes require recent confirmation with the current password, and replacement email addresses must be securely verified. Signed-in education actions require an authenticated, verified teacher account.

Challenge-room records expire after 30 days. Saved teacher reports expire after 12 months unless deleted sooner. PointBase Education is currently in beta. We use reasonable safeguards and limit the information requested, but no online service can promise absolute security. Teachers should report suspected unauthorized access promptly to support@playpointbase.com.
