Privacy: student names never leave your device
How Comment Desk handles your data: student names, levels and comments stay in your browser on your device, are never uploaded, and are never sent to AI.
What stays on your device
The write page runs entirely in your browser. There is no server side to this site: it is a set of static files. Your class names, the first names and pronouns of your students, the levels you pick and every comment you draft or edit are saved in your browser's own local storage, under keys beginning with commentdesk., and nowhere else.
That means your classes belong to one browser on one device. They are not sent to us, not backed up anywhere, and not visible to anyone who does not have your device. Clearing site data for this site removes them permanently and immediately, and there is nothing we can restore, because we never had a copy.
Student information
Comment Desk asks only for a first name, a pronoun set and an optional grade, and has no field for a surname, a student number or anything else. The comments are drafted from sentences stored in the page, so no student information is sent to an AI service or to any other service.
The backup file you can download from the write page contains first names and comments. Store it where you would keep a class list, and follow your school board's guidance on where student information may be kept.
No accounts
There is no sign up, no sign in, no email capture and no password. Every page on this site can be used without identifying yourself.
What is collected
No account, no advertising identifiers, and no analytics of what you type. The static host may keep ordinary web server logs of a page request, its time and a network address, as any web server does. Page visits may be counted by the host, Cloudflare, with a cookieless count that records that a page was opened, never what you entered on it.
Purchases
If paid features are offered, purchases are handled by RevenueCat and Stripe. An anonymous purchase id is kept in this browser so your purchase is recognised on this device. Your payment details go to the payment provider, not to us, and your classes are never part of a purchase.
Cookies
Comment Desk sets no cookies of its own and carries no advertising or cross site tracking scripts.
Children
The site is a tool for teachers. It is not directed at children, and students do not use it or enter anything into it.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that affects what is collected, the change will appear on this page.
