Purpose-limited retention
Thinklets should retain personal information only as long as reasonably needed for the specific educational or operational purpose, subject to applicable legal obligations. The operator is R.D. Mathison; contact privacy@thinklets.fun, (904) 413-1774, or 8438 Winter Berry Rd., Jacksonville, FL 32210.
Current account and learning records
Accounts, progress, rewards, class associations and student-linked usage analytics currently persist until an authorized deletion action; there is no general automatic account/analytics age-expiry job. This is a current implementation limitation, not permission for indefinite retention. The operator must review continuing purpose with schools and arrange deletion when the purpose ends. Archiving a class, locking its code, freezing an account or resetting adventure progress is not account deletion.
Transient records
Presence and some battle records have expiration and traffic-triggered cleanup. An expired record may remain stored until cleanup occurs. Analytics deduplication keys currently remain until account deletion. Technical logs, email delivery records and backups follow separate infrastructure controls that must be verified with the operator/providers; the application cannot guarantee their expiry merely by deleting an account.
Deletion requests
Parents, eligible students and authorized schools can request deletion at the privacy contact. We verify authority, coordinate education-record obligations, and explain any specific lawful preservation exception. Application account deletion removes primary student data and related analytics; the updated deletion path also removes related battle/queue references. Requests concerning backups, historical logs or exports require additional handling. Access rights and any outstanding access request must be considered before deletion.
Backup and recipient copies
Backup copies must remain protected, expire under an approved schedule, and not restore deleted accounts to active use. School-downloaded reports and printouts are controlled by the school. The operator must document completion and any remaining backup or lawful-hold limitation, rather than claiming all copies disappear immediately.
Retention schedule status
A category-specific retention schedule is being established. No fixed automatic purge period is represented as implemented in this version. Schools should obtain the applicable written schedule and deletion arrangements before enrolling students. Changes to that schedule must reflect necessity and school/legal obligations; retention must not be extended for unrelated commercial purposes. Version 2026-10-15.
