How the site is built: two separate layers

Classroom layer

What students see: classroom tools under /run/, the projected Schedule, Quick Launch and embedded finders.

No Google Analytics, no advertising, no payment code
One anonymous “run” count per tool per day, sent only after a teacher starts the activity. No cookies, no identifiers, nothing about students.
No requests to any third-party server. Every file loads from thefixesprogram.com.
No accounts, sign-ins, cookies for tracking or student data entry
Settings and progress are kept in that browser's local storage only
Marked noindex so classroom screens never appear in search results

Teacher layer

What adults read: information pages, the Library, Field Notes and coaching pages.

Google Analytics 4 measures which pages are useful
Selected teacher pages may show clearly labelled ads (Google AdSense)
Google consent mode is applied where the law requires it
An optional “Fix It Forward” link goes to Stripe’s own checkout
None of this code is loaded on the classroom layer

Answers to common vendor-review questions

What personal information is collected from students?: None. There is no place in any classroom tool to enter a student’s name, and students never create accounts.
Do students or teachers need to sign in?: No. There is no sign-in, single sign-on or Google/Microsoft account connection anywhere on the site.
Is information shared or sold?: No student information exists to share or sell. Teacher-page analytics and advertising are provided by Google under the terms described on the privacy page.
Where is data stored?: Classroom tools store settings in the device’s own browser. The optional Fixes World League stores school-level results with the site’s hosting provider, Netlify, a US-based company.
Is it safe to project in front of students?: Yes. Classroom screens contain no ads, no payment prompts, no links to marketplaces and no outside content unless a teacher chooses to paste their own link into the Schedule’s Browse & Show.
Can we check this ourselves?: Yes. Open any classroom tool, open the browser’s developer tools and look at the Network tab: every request goes to thefixesprogram.com.
Is there a cost or contract?: No. Every Fix is free to use with no trial period, licence or purchase order.
Who is responsible for it?: Christopher Allen, an Ontario Certified Teacher with more than 20 years in elementary education, builds and maintains the site. Write to thefixesprogram@gmail.com.

Everything a classroom screen sends, explained

Anonymous run count

When a teacher first taps or presses a key in a classroom tool, the page sends one message to thefixesprogram.com containing only the tool’s name. It is counted once per browser tab per day. No cookies, IP addresses, device IDs or names are stored. It tells us which Fixes classrooms actually use.

Fixes World League

Optional. A teacher can connect a class to a school-versus-school league. It stores the school name, city, province, an optional board name, a team colour, a private School Code, a random ID for each connected classroom computer and routine results (event, pace score, date). It never stores student names, teacher names, class names or email addresses. Schools can compete unlisted and can be removed on request.

Weather Day

A teacher-facing forecast tool. The chosen community’s coordinates are sent through the site’s forecast function to MET Norway to fetch the forecast. Browser location is used only if the teacher chooses it, and is rounded to two decimal places.

Browse & Show

If a teacher pastes a link to an outside site, image or video into the projected Schedule, that outside provider’s own policies apply inside its player. The Fixes does not choose or earn money from that content. YouTube links use the privacy-enhanced player when possible.

Adding The Fixes to your board’s approved list

The Fixes collects no student data and needs no logins, which keeps a board review short. If your board uses a vendor questionnaire, email it to thefixesprogram@gmail.com and it will be completed and returned.
