Where We Stand

Many of the students whose first name and reading activity pass through Center Desk Drawer are under 13, so this isn't an abstract compliance topic for us.

Built For Adults, Not Children

The Student Picker, reading log, and roster tools are used by a teacher. The family experience, reachable through a private link a teacher generates, is designed for a parent or guardian to use on their child's behalf, not for the child to interact with directly. We don't ask a family-link user to create an account or to provide their own name or contact information.

A Different Starting Point Than School-Licensed Software

Some classroom software relies on a school or district consenting to data collection on a family's behalf, under an exception recognized for tools a school has formally authorized for an educational purpose. Center Desk Drawer doesn't start there. It's chosen and used by an individual teacher directly, often without a school-level agreement in place. Rather than lean on a school's consent, we've built the product to need as little information as possible before that question even comes up: a first name and last initial only, no student accounts, and no information collected directly from a child.

We Can't Verify Who's on the Other End of a Link

Because the family link doesn't require an account, we have no way to confirm that only a parent or guardian uses it. If that's a concern for a specific student, don't generate or share their link. The roster, Student Picker, and reading log all work fully without it.

No Advertising, No Behavioral Tracking, No Sale of Data

Center Desk Drawer does not use student data, of any age, to serve advertising, build behavioral profiles, or track children across other sites or services. We do not sell data, to anyone, for any reason. Data is used solely to provide the features you've chosen to use.

Parents & Families

Because we don't collect a parent or guardian's name or contact information, we generally can't identify or reach a parent directly. If you have a question or concern about a specific student's information, the fastest path is through their teacher, who controls the family link. You're also welcome to contact us directly.
