For IT, privacy officers and purchasing
Student privacy, DPA and accessibility
The short version: no student accounts, no personal data, progress stays on the device. Everything your district needs to approve LetterSchool is on this page.
This page is about the school apps LetterSchool - Block Letters and LetterSchool - Cursive Letters.
Student data
- What personal data does LetterSchool collect?
- None. School use needs no student accounts, names, e-mail addresses or logins. Children just open the app and play.
- Where is student work stored?
- On the device only. Progress for up to three child profiles per device stays in the app and is not sent to us; we cannot see it.
- Is any data sent at all?
- Only anonymous usage statistics (for example which games are played and where children get stuck), through Google Firebase Analytics. These are not linked to a child, a name or a school account, and are sent over encrypted HTTPS/TLS. Google processes them on its servers, mainly in the United States.
- Can data be deleted or exported?
- There is no student data to delete or export. Removing the app from a device removes all progress on that device.
- Advertising and tracking
- There is no advertising in LetterSchool and no data is sold or shared for marketing.
- Teacher dashboard or per-student reports?
- No. Because we do not collect student data, there are no per-student reports. Teachers can see each child’s stars and progress on the device itself.
Data privacy agreements (DPA, SOPPA, state agreements)
- Will you sign our DPA?
- Yes, we gladly review and complete district and state data privacy agreements (for example SDPC/NDPA, SOPPA in Illinois, and state programs). E-mail your agreement to support@letterschool.com or mention it under “Anything else we should know?” when you request a quote.
- Which app does the agreement cover?
- Usually LetterSchool - Block Letters (Apple App ID 435476174) and LetterSchool - Cursive Letters (Apple App ID 1069306150) for iPads, and LetterSchool - Learn to Write unlocked with a school activation code for Chromebooks and Android. Both work without student accounts.
Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA, VPAT)
- Is LetterSchool WCAG 2.1 AA compliant?
- We are assessing the app against WCAG 2.1 Level AA and prioritising fixes for menus and navigation. A completed Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT) is not available yet; we will publish it here when it is.
- What about tracing letters?
- Tracing the path of a letter is the learning goal itself: the motor movement is what children practise. That makes it an essential function under WCAG 2.1 (for example success criterion 2.5.1, Pointer Gestures).
- Supports for children with extra needs
- No reading is needed to play, instructions are visual and spoken, letters are large, and children can practise at their own pace. Many occupational therapists use LetterSchool with children with autism, ADHD, DCD and other needs.
Vendor information and W-9
- Who do we pay?
- For iPads bought through Apple School Manager, Apple is the seller (merchant of record): payments go to Apple and your district uses Apple’s W-9. For licenses paid with a payment link (Chromebook, Android, Complete program), the invoice comes from our payment provider Paddle.
- Vendor forms
- Send your vendor registration form to support@letterschool.com, or mention it under “Anything else we should know?” when you request a quote, and we will complete it.
- Company
- LetterSchool Enabling Learning B.V., the Netherlands.
