Privacy policy

Last updated 18 August 2026

This policy explains what Class Cookies collects, why, and what you can ask us to do about it. Class Cookies is run by Jacobus Johannes Barnard, a sole trader. You can reach us at admin.classcookies@gmail.com.

The short version

What we collect

Your account. Your email address, and a display name if you set one. If you sign in with Google we receive your email address and name from Google. We do not receive your Google password.

Your subscription. Whether you have an active subscription, which plan, and when it renews. Payments are handled by Paddle, who act as the seller. Paddle takes your payment details on their own systems. We never receive or store your card number.

What you put in My Classroom. Class names, student names, an avatar for each student, points, and any comments you write. You choose what to type here. We ask you to use first names or nicknames only, not full names and not any other detail that identifies a child. You do not need more than that for the product to work.

What you share in Sharing Secrets. Anything you post, upload or comment on, and the fact that you posted it.

Basic technical data. Standard server logs, and the cookie described below. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

Students do not have accounts

Class Cookies is a tool for teachers. Students never sign in, never create an account, and never give us anything directly. The only information about a student on the platform is what their teacher chooses to type into My Classroom.

If you are a teacher at a school or academy, please follow whatever your school requires about student records before you type student information into any online tool, including this one.

The Excel export

My Classroom can export a class to an Excel file with student names and your comments. That file is built on our server and sent straight to you. We do not keep a copy, and we do not send it anywhere else. What you do with the file afterwards is up to you.

Class Cookies does not use AI to write, read or process student comments.

Cookies

We set one cookie so that you stay signed in. It is set on .classcookies.com so that signing in once also signs you in on the game pages, which sit on addresses like mangomafia.classcookies.com. That is the only reason for it. There are no advertising cookies and no third party tracking scripts.

The free tools work with no account, so they set no sign-in cookie.

Where your data is kept

Our database and file storage are hosted by Supabase, in their Seoul region in South Korea. The website is hosted by Vercel. Payments and billing records are held by Paddle. Each of these companies processes data on our instructions.

If you are outside South Korea, your data will be stored there. Some of these providers operate globally, so data may be handled in other countries as part of running the service.

Who we share it with

Only the companies above, and only so the service can run. We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it for advertising. We may disclose information if the law requires it.

Anything you post publicly in Sharing Secrets is visible to other signed-in teachers. Do not put student information in a public post.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and its contents while your account exists. If your subscription ends, we do not delete your classes, comments or lists. You keep access to read them, and you can subscribe again later and carry on where you left off.

If you ask us to delete your account, we delete it and the data attached to it. We may keep billing records where the law requires us to.

What you can ask for

Email admin.classcookies@gmail.com and we will reply within two working days.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. If the change is a significant one we will tell you by email.
