Privacy & student information.
We believe school technology should be clear about what information it processes and why.
About this notice
Effective: November 2026. This notice describes the public HallPulse website and the Classroom Edition as currently offered. We review and update it when the product, service providers, or privacy practices change; institution-wide deployments may require additional disclosures.
This information is not a substitute for a school or district’s own privacy assessment, parent notices, or records-management policies.
Information from the public website
When you visit hall-pulse.com, the WordPress website and its hosting services may process ordinary technical data such as IP addresses, device/browser information, and server request logs for delivery, security, and diagnostics.
If you submit the Contact Us form, we collect the name, email address, selected subject, message, and any optional school or organization information you provide. The submission is sent to the HallPulse support mailbox for responding to your inquiry. The contact form itself is not configured to retain a copy in the WordPress database. Do not submit student names, roster exports, passphrases, activation codes, or other sensitive classroom records.
Site functionality may involve necessary cookies. Additional analytics or marketing services, if later enabled, will require this notice to be updated.
Student data privacy in the HallPulse app
HallPulse does not require students to create accounts or provide email addresses. Teachers can maintain classroom rosters using student names, with optional student-number display settings for the kiosk. HallPulse is designed to protect rosters, school details, and teacher notes in local encrypted storage controlled by a teacher passphrase. A paired secondary kiosk receives encrypted roster and current sign-out information.
Certain information is processed through application services for licensing, pairing, synchronization, recovery, and support. The current design includes a teacher username and workspace reference, device/registration records, encrypted kiosk data, and pseudonymized event-history backups. Pseudonymized event data is not the same as fully anonymous data and may remain readable by the service.
For these reasons, HallPulse should not be described as keeping absolutely all activity off the cloud or as using end-to-end encryption for every type of record.
How we approach use, access, and retention
Information should be used to operate and support the product, troubleshoot problems, and administer licenses—not to create public student profiles.
Website hosting and application infrastructure involve service providers, including WordPress hosting and Base44 application infrastructure. Details of retention periods, deletion procedures, subprocessors, and any international transfers will be finalized and documented before broad commercial or school-wide use.
Teachers and school administrators should verify that their intended implementation meets applicable school policies and local legal requirements. We do not claim automatic FERPA, PIPEDA, or other regulatory compliance based solely on these design choices.
Your questions and requests
For privacy inquiries, correction or deletion requests, or questions about deployment suitability, use our Contact Us form and select Privacy or Student Data. Explain your request without submitting student names, roster exports, access codes, or other sensitive information.
We will update this notice as HallPulse’s website integrations, technical architecture, and service arrangements are confirmed.
