Privacy Policy

Desk Dollars is a classroom economy simulation app. It helps students practice managing pretend classroom money while teachers manage the classroom ledger, store, jobs, rent, and goals.

Student Data

Student data may include:

username
first name
last initial
display name
class enrollment
account number
balance
transactions
jobs
orders
rent and paycheck history
goals

Student data is used only to provide the classroom economy: signing students in, showing each student their own balance, recording immutable ledger transactions, processing store orders, assigning jobs, running payroll and rent, tracking goals, creating classroom reports, and printing student account or QR login cards.

Student pages show first name plus last initial only. Students cannot see classmate balances, leaderboards, or private admin-only records.

Teacher And Admin Data

Teacher and admin account data may include:

name
username
email address
password hash
admin role
classes owned or managed
administrative ledger actions
payment confirmation date
access request workflow status

Admin data is used to authenticate teachers and owners, enforce class access, identify who created administrative transactions, support teacher account management, and operate the owner-only super admin tools.

Access Requests And Payments

Before a teacher account is created, Desk Dollars may collect access request information so Andrew can review the request, email payment instructions, confirm payment, and create the account manually.

teacher name
school email
phone number, if provided
school or district
role or title
grade levels
estimated student count
classroom use notes

Payments are currently handled outside Desk Dollars through services such as PayPal or Zelle. Desk Dollars does not collect or store card numbers, bank account numbers, PayPal credentials, Zelle credentials, or payment account passwords. The app may store the date payment was confirmed and the date the teacher account was activated so the owner-only console can track the 30-day refund window.

Security And Use

Passwords are securely hashed and are not viewable after creation or reset.

Student data is stored securely.

Archive or deactivate removes a student from active classroom workflows while preserving history. Anonymization replaces student personal data with a privacy-safe placeholder and prevents future student login. Hard deletion is not the normal privacy workflow because classroom ledger, order, payroll, rent, and account history must remain accurate.

Desk Dollars does not sell, trade, rent, or share student, teacher, or admin data with anyone.

Desk Dollars uses no analytics, tracking scripts, advertising pixels, behavior monitoring, or usage-monitoring tools.

QR codes do not contain passwords and do not automatically authenticate students.

Privacy Rights And Deletion Requests

Depending on where you live, privacy laws such as the GDPR and California privacy laws may give you rights to request access to, correction of, export of, or deletion of personal data. Requests will be reviewed and handled in a way that respects applicable privacy law and the integrity of classroom financial history. For student accounts, deletion requests are normally handled by anonymizing personal data and preserving ledger-linked records under a privacy-safe placeholder.

To request account deletion or another privacy action, email Andrew Hall at [email protected]. You may also contact the teacher or administrator responsible for your classroom.
