Typing Tutor for Schools — COPPA & FERPA-Aligned, No Child Data
Typing Safari is built for classrooms: students sign in with just a first name and a PIN — no email and no personal data. It's designed to align with COPPA and FERPA, gives teachers class dashboards and certificates, and teaches typing in five languages — including proper Arabic touch-typing on real keyboard layouts.
Privacy by design — the data you don't collect
Most school-software risk comes from the data a vendor holds. Typing Safari holds almost none:
- Students are added by the school and identified by a first name + last initial and an optional student ID.
- No child email or contact details are ever required.
- No ads, no behavioral tracking, no selling of data, and student data is never used to train AI.
- Row-level security and encryption in transit protect every record.
COPPA, FERPA, and a DPA for districts
For US schools, Typing Safari acts as a "school official" under FERPA, processing student data solely to run the service under the school's direction. For children under 13, the school provides consent under COPPA's school-authorization provisions. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available for schools and districts, and the full Privacy Policy covers COPPA, FERPA, GDPR, and PIPEDA. (Confirm compliance with your own counsel before adoption.)
Built for teachers and multilingual classrooms
Teachers get class and student dashboards, printable login cards and certificates, and CSV roster import. Typing Safari teaches touch-typing in English, Arabic, Spanish, German, and French with authentic keyboard layouts — a strong fit for bilingual and Islamic schools running an Arabic typing track.
Frequently asked questions
Is Typing Safari COPPA compliant?
Typing Safari is designed to align with COPPA. Children never provide personal information: students are added to a roster by their school and sign in with only a first name (or first name and last initial) plus a PIN — no email, no contact details. Schools provide consent under COPPA's school-authorization provisions, and a Data Processing Agreement is available. Final compliance should be confirmed with your own counsel.
How does Typing Safari protect student data?
By collecting almost none. Roster members have only a display name (first name + last initial) and an optional student ID. There are no ads, no third-party behavioral tracking, no selling of data, and student data is never used to train AI. Access is protected with row-level security and encryption in transit.
Do students need email addresses to use it?
No. Students sign in with a first name and a PIN on a shared class device or their own — no email address or personal contact details are required for roster members. Teachers can print login cards.
Does it work under FERPA?
When a school uses Typing Safari, we act as a 'school official' with a legitimate educational interest, using student data solely to provide the service under the school's direction, never re-disclosing it. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available for districts.
Can teachers track class progress?
Yes. Teachers and admins get class dashboards showing each student's lessons, words-per-minute, and accuracy, plus printable certificates. It supports typing in English, Arabic, Spanish, German, and French with real keyboard layouts.
