Student Data Privacy

Last updated: September 13, 2026

Our Approach

Center Desk Drawer is a tool for individual teachers, and this page summarizes exactly what student information the product touches, in plain terms. For the fuller legal picture, see our Privacy Policy, COPPA Commitment, and FERPA Commitment.

What We Collect, in Full

• A student's first name and last initial. No full last name, no student ID number, no date of birth, no photo. (Our database has a field reserved for a photo, but nothing in the product uploads one today.)
• Reading activity: which books a student has logged, whether it was the whole book or a number of pages, and when.
• Plot Points and Plot Twist achievements earned from that activity.
• A class-level grade and academic year the teacher enters, which describes the class, not any individual student.

What We Never Collect

• Parent or guardian names, emails, phone numbers, or any other contact information, even through the family link.
• Full legal names, dates of birth, student ID numbers, or photos.
• Health, discipline, custody, or other sensitive information. There's no field in the product for it.
• Anything for advertising. Center Desk Drawer has no ads and builds no behavioral profiles.

Who Can See It

• You, the teacher who created the roster.
• A collaborator you've explicitly added to a class, limited to that class.
• A parent or guardian using that specific student's family link, limited to that one student.
• Our small team, only as needed to help you when you request support.

The Family Link, Specifically

A family link is a private, unguessable link and QR code you generate for one student, so a parent or guardian can view that student's points and log reading at home without creating an account. It's built for a parent or guardian to use on the student's behalf, not for the student to use directly. We don't collect any information about who uses it, not even a parent's name. If that trade-off doesn't feel right for a particular student, simply don't generate or share their link.

Retention & Deletion

We retain student data for as long as your account is active. Closing your account from Account in the dashboard deletes it immediately, or contact us at hello@modelb.app and we'll do it for you. Full detail is in our Privacy Policy and Data Retention & Deletion pages.
