Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 26, 2026

Classroom Daydream (“Classroom Daydream,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is an online planner for K–12 teachers, available at classroomdaydream.com and planner.classroomdaydream.com (the “Service”). The Service is operated by Classroom Daydream, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, located at 5112 5th Avenue Dr NW, Bradenton, FL 34209.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, how we protect it, and the choices you have. It applies to teachers and other adults who create an account (“you”). By using the Service, you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Our privacy commitments

• We do not sell personal information.
• We do not show ads, and we do not use your information or any student information for targeted advertising.
• We do not build profiles of students, and we use student information only to provide the Service to you.
• The Service is designed to work without student names. If you choose to add names, only a first name and last initial are kept, and they are encrypted on your device with a passphrase only you know, so we cannot read them.
• You own your planner content, and you can export it at any time.

2. Information we collect

2.1 Information you give us

• Account information: your name and email address, and your profile photo if you sign in with Google. Google shares these with us when you choose Google sign-in. If you use an email sign-in link, we collect your email address.
• Setup information: the name students call you, your school name, room number, grade levels, subjects, courses, bell schedule, school calendar and the standards you choose.
• Planner content: lesson plans, units, worksheets, passages, calendar events, to-dos, notes, contacts you enter (such as colleagues or vendors), files and links you attach, expense records and receipt photos, extra-duty hours and similar content you create (“Your Content”).
• Classroom tools: hall pass, waitlist and borrowed-supply records, seating charts and class sizes. These use seat or student numbers by default (see Section 3).
• Profile picture: if you upload one, it is resized in your browser and stored with your account.
• Communications: messages you send us for support.

2.2 Payment information

Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. When you subscribe, you give your payment details directly to Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number. Stripe shares with us your email address, name, billing address, a customer identifier, your plan, and your subscription and payment status. Stripe’s privacy policy is at stripe.com/privacy.

2.3 Information collected automatically

• Technical and log information: our hosting and database providers automatically record information such as IP address, browser type, device type and the date and time of requests. This is used for security, abuse prevention and troubleshooting.
• Browser storage: the Service stores some information in your browser (local storage and IndexedDB), such as your sign-in session, display preferences (text size, light or dark mode, the last tab you opened), the board lock on that device and, if you choose, a device key for student names (see Section 3). We use this only to make the Service work.
• No advertising or analytics trackers: we do not use advertising cookies, and we do not currently use analytics or tracking tools.
• Do Not Track: because we do not track you across other websites, we do not respond differently to Do Not Track signals.

3. Student information

3.1 Designed to work without student names

The Service is for teachers. It is not designed to collect personal information from students, and students do not have accounts. Hall passes, the waitlist, borrowed supplies, the student picker, random groups and the seating chart all work with seat or student numbers.

Please do not enter student names, student ID numbers, grades tied to identifiable students, health information, disciplinary details or other student personal information in free-text fields such as notes, unless your school’s policies allow it.

3.2 Optional encrypted student names

If you choose to turn on student names:

• Only a first name and last initial are saved (for example, “Ava M.”). Full names you paste in are shortened before anything is saved.
• Names are encrypted in your browser with AES-256-GCM before they are saved. The encryption key is created on your device and protected with a key made from a passphrase you create (PBKDF2-SHA256, 310,000 iterations) and with a recovery code shown to you once.
• Your passphrase and recovery code are never sent to us. We store only encrypted data, which we, our employees and our service providers cannot read.
• Hall pass, waitlist, lending and log records store a seat or student number and, when names are on, a copy of the name encrypted the same way.
• Names are shown only on a device where you have unlocked them. They lock again after 30 minutes without activity or when you close the planner, unless you choose to keep names unlocked on a device (see below).
• Because we cannot read or reset your passphrase, we cannot recover names if you lose both your passphrase and your recovery code.
• You can delete all encrypted names at any time in Settings.

Keeping names unlocked on a device. If you have a board PIN, you may choose to keep names unlocked on a particular device. The encryption key is then stored in that device’s browser storage, in a form that cannot be exported, so anyone who can open your planner on that device can see the names. The key is never sent to us. Signing out, or turning the option off, removes it from the device. We show a warning before you turn this on and recommend using it only on a device that only you use.

3.3 Your responsibilities and FERPA

If you use the Service for your work at a school, you are responsible for making sure your use follows your school or district’s policies and applicable law, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). To the extent we receive any education records or student personal information through the Service, we will use it only to provide the Service to you, will not sell it or use it for targeted advertising or to build student profiles, will protect it as described in this policy, and will delete it as described in Section 7.

4. How we use information

We use information only to:

• provide, operate and maintain the Service, including syncing your planner across your devices;
• create and secure your account and confirm your subscription;
• process payments and manage your subscription through Stripe;
• answer your questions and provide support;
• send service messages, such as sign-in links, receipts and notices about changes to the Service or our terms;
• keep the Service secure, prevent fraud and abuse, and fix problems;
• comply with the law and enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not use Your Content or any student information to train artificial-intelligence models. We do not look at Your Content except when needed to provide support you ask for, to keep the Service secure or to comply with the law.

5. How we share information

We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share it for targeted advertising. We share information only as follows:

• Service providers that help us run the Service and process information on our behalf: Google Firebase (Google LLC) for sign-in, database storage and sign-in emails, with data stored in the United States; Netlify, Inc. for website hosting and the server function that confirms payments; Stripe, Inc. for payments and subscriptions; Google Fonts (Google LLC) for the fonts your browser loads on our pages.
• Content you choose to add: if you add a YouTube video, an Apple Music player or links to other sites (such as Google Drive) to your planner or class board, those services receive information from your browser under their own privacy policies.
• Legal reasons: if required by law, subpoena or court order, or to protect the rights, property or safety of our users, the public or us.
• Business transfers: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. Any successor must honor the commitments in this policy for information collected under it, or we will give you notice and a chance to delete your account first.
• With your permission, for any other purpose you agree to.

6. Security

We protect information with:

• encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and encryption at rest by our hosting and database providers;
• database rules that let each teacher access only their own planner;
• client-side encryption of optional student names, as described in Section 3;
• limited access to production systems, with secret keys kept only in our hosting provider’s protected settings.

No system is perfectly secure. If we learn of a security breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and others as required by law, including Florida’s Information Protection Act (§ 501.171, Fla. Stat.).

7. How long we keep information

• While your account is active, we keep your information so the Service can work.
• If your subscription ends, you can still sign in to view and export Your Content. We delete accounts and Your Content 12 months after a subscription ends, or sooner if you ask.
• When you ask us to delete your account, we delete Your Content from our active systems within 30 days. Copies in provider backups, if any, are deleted on the provider’s schedule.
• We keep limited records as long as needed for legal, tax and accounting purposes, such as payment records held by Stripe and records of your subscription.

8. Your choices and rights

• Access and export: download a full backup at any time with Export backup in the planner.
• Correct: edit your information in the planner at any time.
• Delete: delete individual items in the planner, turn off and delete encrypted student names in Settings, or email us at hello@classroomdaydream.com to delete your account.

To make a request, email hello@classroomdaydream.com. We will respond within 45 days and may need to verify your identity.

9. Children

The Service is intended for adults (18 and older) who are teachers or other educators. It is not directed to children, and children under 13 may not create an account. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Where information is stored

We are based in the United States, and our providers store information in the United States. The Service is offered only in the United States at this time.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or in the Service before they take effect, and at least 30 days before any change to how we handle student information. The effective date at the top shows when it was last updated.
