SAFEGUARDING

Designed for safe schools.

ClassBreak is a teacher-facing tool. Students never create accounts. The only student data that ever exists is a self-chosen display name during a live game, which is automatically deleted within 24 hours.

No student accounts

ClassBreak is operated by teachers, for teachers. Students never create accounts, never log in, and never give us an email, password, or any login of any kind.

Minimal, transient student data

To join a live Class Play game, a student enters a display name of their choosing (it need not be their real name). That display name, and any optional wellbeing response, exists only for the live session and is automatically deleted within 24 hours. We never collect students' real names, ages, emails, or any lasting identifier.

Teacher data only

Only the teacher's account holds any data: name, email, usage statistics, and subscription status. That's it.

School controls

School plans include admin dashboards where designated safeguarding leads can manage teacher accounts and audit usage.
