TuffGamez is a set of classroom math and history games run by an individual middle-school teacher in Mendocino County, California. It is not a company and has no employees, investors or advertisers. Questions about this policy go to aaron@writingtools.org.
Sign-in uses Google's standard OpenID Connect flow with the openid, email and profile scopes only. Google sends us your name, email address and profile picture URL. We store those three things plus a role (student by default; teacher or administrator when assigned). We never receive or store a password, and we cannot read your Gmail, Drive or anything else in your Google account.
| Make 67, Make 6 or 7 | Solve counts, rank, daily-puzzle streak, shop items and effects, tournament results, cosmetic choices (sound, colour theme), solve-speed records. |
|---|---|
| Trash Blaster, Cave Runner, Number Recycler | High scores, altitude and run records, unlocked skins. |
| History Quest | Which questions you answered and whether you got them right, mastery per question and per standard, Chrono-Coin balance, achievements, artifacts, class-session participation and any custom questions or assignments a teacher creates. |
| Chat | Messages posted in the Make 67 and Make 6 or 7 chat rooms (available after 50 solves). Messages our language filter blocks are kept for teacher review; chat bans are recorded. |
| Mood Meter | Each check-in: the grid position you chose, the feeling label, the time, and the IP address the check-in came from. Check-ins made while signed out are stored without a name. |
| Class rosters | Teachers place students into classes by email address, so we store which students belong to which teacher's class. |

| Everyone else | Nothing beyond the public leaderboards, which show shortened names and scores only. There is no public profile page. |
Only the services that make the site run:
We do not sell data, share it with data brokers, hand it to advertisers, or use it to train AI models. We would disclose data if the law required it, and we would tell the affected school if we could.
Students use this site in class, at a teacher's direction, for educational purposes. Under COPPA's school-consent provision the school consents on the parents' behalf, and we collect only what the games need. A parent or guardian may review or delete their child's data by asking the teacher or emailing us.
We do not target advertising to students, do not build profiles for anything other than the games and the classroom, and do not sell student information. Student records remain under the school's control, and we delete them when the school asks. We will sign a school district's student data privacy agreement on request.
Where a school uses the site, we act as a school official with a legitimate educational interest, under the school's direct control, and use education records only for the purposes the school authorises.
If we learn of a breach affecting student data, we will notify the affected schools without unreasonable delay so they can inform families.
Account and game data stay for as long as the account is in use, because streaks, ranks, mastery and mood history only mean something over time. A school or teacher may request that a class's accounts be removed at the end of a year. Individual deletion requests to aaron@writingtools.org are completed within 30 days. Server logs are discarded on a short rolling window.
Every connection uses HTTPS. Sign-in is delegated to Google, so we store no passwords. Access to student data is limited by role, and teachers can only reach students on their own rosters. The database runs on a managed hosting service and is not exposed to the internet.
Google Workspace for Education blocks students from signing in to third-party apps until an administrator configures them. To allow this site for your students:

When this policy changes, the new version is posted here with a new effective date. Material changes affecting schools will be emailed to the teachers using the site.
