Who operates Thinklets
Thinklets (https://thinklets.fun) is operated by R.D. Mathison. For privacy questions or requests, email privacy@thinklets.fun, call (904) 413-1774, or write to 8438 Winter Berry Rd., Jacksonville, FL 32210. This notice describes the application prepared on October 15, 2026. It is not a certification of compliance.
Children and school-directed learning
Thinklets is designed for K–12 learning, including students under 13. Schools and instructors must have appropriate authority before directing students to create accounts. A class code, a verified instructor email address, or a student’s agreement to terms does not by itself establish legally sufficient consent. School authorization is limited to its permitted educational context. For uses that require parental consent, the operator must establish an appropriate consent process before collecting children’s information; this site does not currently provide a separate verifiable-parental-consent signup workflow.
Information students provide
Student registration uses a username, password, trainer display name, selected illustrated avatar and instructor class code. Use a non-identifying alias: do not include a full name, email, phone number, address or school student ID in names or nicknames. Student email, date of birth, home address, phone number, uploaded photographs, voice recordings and precise location are not required. Passwords are stored as hashes. Aliases and records linked to them remain personal information; they are not anonymous.
Learning, gameplay and activity records
We save lesson and vocabulary progress, results and attempts, benchmark-related evidence, review needs, rewards, collections, customization, battle results, friends/requests, presence and online preferences, and related timestamps. Instructors may keep private student record nicknames and assessment evidence. Usage analytics count accepted submissions, distinct attempted/solved problems, sessions, estimated foreground active time, linked standards practice and return visits. Those analytics tables do not store submitted answer text, but the application also maintains question-level learning and game records. Active time is an estimate, not a measure of attention; unusual performance alone is not proof of misconduct.
Instructor and technical information
Instructor applications collect first and last names, institution, email, teaching grade, account details, verification/review status and terms acceptance. Necessary session cookies keep accounts signed in and support security. Browser session storage supports some gameplay timing. The hosting and email infrastructure may process IP addresses, request metadata and delivery/security logs. The application uses hashed rate-limit keys; hashing does not make linked technical information anonymous.
Why we use information
We use information to provide authorized educational practice, save progress, personalize review and rewards, support approved social learning, produce instructor reports, understand service use, prevent abuse and respond to support/privacy requests. We do not sell student information, use it for targeted advertising, or use it for unrelated commercial profiling or training general-purpose AI models. Participation should not require more personal information than is reasonably necessary for the educational function.
Who can see information
Instructors can view learning records for students in their current classes; site administrators have broader operational access. Designated school representatives manage their school’s community settings and see a limited school assignment roster. Accounts start in Private practice with no peer visibility. Schools may authorize School community or Thinklets community, select available class, grade, school or site-wide rankings, and permit eligible rewards to be shared. Players must also opt in. Site-wide rankings include only opted-in players from schools permitting that scope. Peer views use a generated game alias and illustrated avatar, never login usernames or private account names. Rankings show a limited competition score, not stages, academic accuracy, benchmark mastery, mistakes or learning needs. Grade and class rankings imply shared group membership without displaying group labels. Mutually accepted friends within permitted boundaries can see approved collections, shop cosmetics and selected game statistics. Academic badges, titles, world backgrounds, exclusive champion rewards and custom thinklet nicknames are hidden from peers. Optional Online or In battle presence is visible only to approved friends; precise last-online history is not shared. Preset encouragement messages remain available; there is no open chat, biography or personal-photo upload. Chosen companions and combat effects are visible to an approved battle opponent and may imply gameplay activity. Aliases and game rewards are not anonymous, and schools must evaluate that inference when authorizing sharing. Teacher reports and exports must be protected by their recipients.
Service providers and other disclosures
Thinklets uses DreamHost hosting/database infrastructure and server-configured email delivery for instructor verification and approval messages. These services process information needed to operate the site; the operator must verify their safeguards and applicable contractual restrictions. We may disclose information when legally required or to address security incidents, subject to applicable law. External links, such as a donation link, lead to separate services with their own practices; student information should not be submitted to them. Any acquisition or transfer involving student data must respect applicable law, school agreements and required notices/permissions; a sale of the service is not unrestricted permission to sell student information.
Access, correction, collection choices and deletion
Parents, eligible students and authorized school representatives may contact privacy@thinklets.fun to request review/access, correction, deletion, or an end to further collection. We verify authority proportionately and coordinate school-held education-record requests with the school. Do not send passwords or a full student record in an initial email. Include the school, account alias if known and the requested action. Necessary account processing cannot be disabled while retaining every account feature; the school can discuss alternatives. A student may also ask an instructor for help, but direct requests to the operator are welcome.
Retention and security
Information should be retained only while needed for its specified purpose and applicable authorized obligations. See the separate Data Retention Notice for current behavior and limitations. The application does not yet automatically remove all old account and analytics records. The operator must review necessity and execute deletion requests rather than rely on perpetual storage. We use application access checks, password hashing and session/security measures; no online service is risk-free, and these measures do not establish an independent security certification.
Changes and contact
The notice version is 2026-10-15. Material changes to collection, use or disclosure must be communicated and any newly required authorization obtained before the new use begins. Contact the operator above with questions, privacy concerns or suspected misuse. Copyright 2026 R.D. Mathison. All rights reserved.
