Privacy Policy

1. About ClassJot

ClassJot is an offline-first classroom-management application for teachers and school staff. It supports classes, student lists, seating plans, attendance, grades, classroom points, timetables, logbook entries, and reports. ClassJot is not intended for students or children to create accounts directly.

2. Information entered into ClassJot

Depending on the features used, teachers may enter their name, school and subject, optional profile information, and locally stored account/recovery details. Teachers may also enter students’ names and class assignments, attendance information, marks, points, seating assignments, lesson records, notes, and timetables.

Teachers should use ClassJot only for information they are authorized to handle under applicable educational and privacy requirements. Avoid unnecessary sensitive information in free-text notes and exports.

3. Local classroom storage

ClassJot stores its main classroom records in an encrypted, application-private local vault. The ordinary classroom workflow does not require a developer-hosted account or synchronization service, and ClassJot does not intentionally transmit teachers’ classroom records to the developer as part of those functions. There is no built-in advertising service in the reviewed product configuration.

Offline-first does not mean every feature is offline. Optional Pro purchases, license activation, license status checks, deactivation, and some related support actions use Freemius, as described below. ClassJot may also access a link or website when you choose to open it.

4. Freemius purchases and Pro licensing

ClassJot uses Freemius to offer its optional Pro license, process purchases, issue purchase and license emails, provide invoices, and manage license activations. Freemius acts as the authorized reseller for these transactions.

When you buy ClassJot Pro through Freemius, Freemius may collect customer and billing information such as your name, email address, payment and transaction details, and other information needed to process your order, meet legal requirements, prevent fraud, and provide customer support. Payment information is handled through Freemius and its payment providers rather than being entered into ClassJot’s local classroom vault.

When activating or verifying a Pro license, ClassJot communicates with Freemius using license information and a device or installation identifier needed to enforce the one-active-device license limit. Freemius may also process technical connection information such as an IP address. License state may be cached locally so Pro features can remain available during normal offline use; license status can be checked again when connectivity returns.

Freemius’s own handling of checkout, customer accounts, transactions, and license records is described in the Freemius Privacy Policy. The developer may receive customer contact and transaction information needed to manage sales and provide support. Classroom lists, attendance, grades, and lesson records are not submitted to Freemius as part of normal license activation.

5. Local security and biometric unlocking

ClassJot uses a password-protected encrypted local vault. On supported Android devices, optional biometric unlocking relies on Android’s biometric and keystore facilities. ClassJot does not receive or store fingerprint images or templates.

No software security measure eliminates every risk. Protect your device, passwords, license key, recovery details, and exported files. Use a strong password and keep a tested encrypted backup in a safe location.

6. Backups, exports, and Android transfers

In the reviewed Android 1.0.37 build, the application manifest disables Android automatic backup and declares exclusions for app data in Android cloud-backup and Android-to-Android device-transfer rules. This is intended to reduce unintended copying of ClassJot’s local records. Android device and manufacturer transfer behavior can vary, and these settings are not a guarantee against every possible operating-system or third-party transfer mechanism.

Teachers can intentionally export reports or records (for example CSV, Excel, and JSON) and create password-protected encrypted ClassJot backups. Some optional exports, including legacy unencrypted JSON export where available, may contain personal or student data in readable form. Handle those files carefully.

When you choose to share or save an exported file through Android’s file picker, a cloud-drive service, an email application, or other software, that destination may receive the file according to its own privacy terms. ClassJot does not control copies you create outside the app, and deleting records within ClassJot does not delete previously exported files.

7. Retention, access, and deletion

Local classroom records generally remain on your device until you modify or delete them, reset the local app account, or uninstall the application, subject to any copies you separately exported or transferred. ClassJot provides an in-app reset action with confirmation. Removing the app or resetting its local data does not delete external backups.

Freemius purchase and licensing records are separate from ClassJot’s local classroom vault and may be retained by Freemius to operate the license service, handle legal obligations, or provide receipts and support. To ask about ClassJot support or privacy, contact the address below. For records controlled by Freemius, consult its privacy policy and customer support procedures.

8. Third-party services

ClassJot uses Android system components, including device biometrics where enabled. Freemius is used for optional paid licensing. Export destinations and applications you voluntarily choose may process files under their own policies. The reviewed product configuration does not intentionally include third-party advertising networks or classroom analytics services.

9. Students and children’s information

Teachers may record information about students, including minors, for classroom administration. ClassJot is not intended for students to register for or use independently. Teachers and educational institutions are responsible for obtaining any necessary authority, protecting student information, and complying with applicable education and privacy requirements.

10. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when ClassJot’s features, data practices, or third-party service relationships change. The current version will be published on the ClassJot privacy-policy page with an updated effective date. Material changes will be communicated where appropriate.
