Know what you are approving before you approve it.

A teacher-created student account is made from a name. FlashEDU generates a username and a short password, and it records practice activity: problems attempted, accuracy, level, progression, and live game results. It does not ask for a student email, home address, phone number, or location, it shows no advertising, and it never sells or rents personal information. Each district’s most sensitive records, the real name and any accommodation details, sit in a district-specific area of FlashEDU’s systems, separate from every other district’s. The Trust Center lists the remaining protections in plain language.

• Collected: a display name, a generated username, grade or classroom assignment, practice and live game activity, and the technical basics needed to run the service.
• Not collected: home address, phone number, location, advertising identifiers, health data, or biometrics. A teacher-created or imported student account is never given the student’s own email address, and an email in an imported file is kept only as a hash.
• Stored: a managed student’s password is kept encrypted so a teacher can show it to the child again behind a View PIN.
• Shared: a short, published list of named service providers. Subscribing schools are notified before a new provider would process student data.
• Deleted: the Education Privacy Policy commits to deleting student personal information after a plan ends, typically within 90 days, except what the law requires FlashMath to keep.

District settings are set once by a district admin and only get stricter below that level: a school or a classroom can turn a feature off, never on. For managed students, student-versus-student play (the Class games setting), chat, friends, AI coaching, and voice practice are off until a district admin turns each on. Cosmetics and live game leaderboards are on by default and the district can turn each off. Where the district has decided, teachers see the setting labelled Set by your district or Locked by your district.

• Decide which optional features your district permits, prohibits, or wants to pilot in a few classrooms first.
• Roster, permission, and export actions are written to an audit history that database triggers prevent anyone from editing or deleting. Admins can view and export it.
• Record the configuration you approved alongside the agreement.

FlashMath is designed to operate as a school official under the school’s direct control for FERPA purposes, and a school may be able to consent on behalf of parents for a limited educational use under FTC COPPA guidance. Whether your deployment fits those models depends on the configuration you choose, your state’s student-privacy law, your board policy, and your counsel’s review. FlashMath answers from its current documents so your counsel can make that determination.

• Confirm the school-official role, the configuration you selected, and any parent notice your policy requires.
• Ask your counsel whether your state adds requirements beyond FERPA and COPPA. Many do.
• File the signed agreement and the approved configuration together so the decision can be defended later.

FlashEDU maps practice to the K–5 fluency standards in the Common Core, or Ohio’s equivalents when a district selects that framework. For a district on another framework, FlashMath works with your curriculum staff to map the operations, levels, and grade use you plan. For security and accessibility, FlashMath provides the evidence that is current for the product version under review, and your own staff can test the workflows students and teachers will use.

• Alignment: ask for the crosswalk for your state before using formal alignment language in a board memo.
• Accessibility: request the current documentation, then have staff who understand local accommodations test the student and teacher workflows.
• Assurance: request the current security evidence and the contracting path for your state, and file them with the approval.
• Commitments: record the evidence and the commitments FlashMath provides alongside the approval.

An approval holds up when the hard questions were answered before signature, in writing, from the current product. FlashMath answers from the current product and documents, in writing, so the answers can be filed with the approval.

• Which student data does our use require, which is optional, and which named providers receive it?
• Which controls can our district set today, and at which level: district, school, or classroom?
• What evidence stands behind each privacy, security, standards, and accessibility statement we will repeat to parents and the board?
• What must our own staff verify before students sign in for the first time?
