What we store about pupils

Only what is needed to run the games: a first name, the initial of a surname, a username made by the teacher, a securely scrambled (hashed) password, the class they belong to, and the scores and points from games they finish. We never ask pupils for an email address, photo, date of birth or home address.

Who can see it

Pupils see their own points and leaderboards showing first names and initials for their class and their school. Schools can also choose to take part in an all-schools leaderboard, which shows a pupil’s first name, last initial and school name. Each school can switch this off at any time. Each school’s staff, classes and results are kept separate from every other school’s. Teachers see information only for their own classes. Information is never sold, shared with advertisers or used for advertising, and there is no third-party tracking.

Schools and teachers

Schools that use Socratello decide which pupils have accounts. Teachers can reset passwords and delete a pupil’s account at any time; deleting an account also deletes that pupil’s scores.

Cookies

Socratello uses a single essential cookie to keep you logged in. Games may save best scores in your browser so you can see them next time.

Questions

Please speak to your school, or contact Socratello through your teacher.
