Protected classrooms and guardian notice

Before participation

Android checks a birth date locally and retains only the age band. Users under 14 use guardian authorization without a child email account or Google sign-in. Do not enter child names, birth dates or identity documents into the app or request label.

An adult parent/legal guardian signs in using an existing ClassMeet account and password and reads the data notice before requesting consent verification. Operators verify the legal guardian and consent scope through a signed form or video call. A login or checkbox alone does not approve access. Contact support with the request ID to arrange verification.

Communication controls and online safety

Consent lasts up to 30 days. Microphone, camera and chat transmission remain off by default; the guardian re-enters their password to allow each capability. The guardian reauthenticates for each classroom to approve a session of up to two hours. Permission changes, withdrawal and expiry invalidate previous grants and disconnect sessions. Guardians must supervise shared devices.

Protected classrooms require host admission and disable server recording/transcription and child file uploads, screen publishing and freeform drawing. Protection cannot be removed after creation. Participants must not record without permission or exchange personal information; a separate device or operating-system recorder cannot be technically prevented.

Do not send personal information, contact details or passwords. Sexual content, child exploitation, bullying, hate, threats and unlawful content are prohibited. Android participant and message menus let you block media/chat for the current session and privately report a participant/message to operators. Leave and tell a guardian if unsafe. A submitted report does not guarantee live monitoring or immediate action.

Processing, retention and deletion

We process guardian account details, request label, relationship, consent verification records, permissions and meeting participation records. Allowed audio/video/chat passes through our self-hosted LiveKit/WebRTC and Socket.IO services for classroom delivery. Protected classroom chat is not retained as server history. Consent evidence is kept in restricted separate storage. Safety reports contain meeting/participant/selected message IDs and a reason, without automatically attaching raw messages, audio or video.

Expired, rejected, withdrawn and pending consent records are periodically deleted using a 30-day cutoff after resolution/expiry or request. Safety reports use a 30-day cutoff from receipt. Guardians can reauthenticate in the app to erase linked child participation records or contact support to erase consent evidence. Backups rotate within 30 days, and erasure is reapplied on restore. Separately isolated dispute records follow the general erasure/retention notice when legally required.
