Key points
- No student email by default. Students access via a code or magic link managed by a parent or guardian.
- We store only what we need to provide the service (accounts, practice events, and plans).
- Analytics are privacy-minimal. We avoid storing raw free-text answers.
- Deleting your account removes all student data tied to it too.
- Starter profiles may use an optional first name or nickname, keep only minimal practice progress, and are deleted if a parent or guardian does not confirm them.
