Pactling Academy
For school leaders & IT teams

A clear view of your classroom’s next adventure.

Review how Pactling Academy supports teacher-led lessons, manages student access and handles classroom information.

Information prepared 9 November 2026 · Invitation-only pilot

US school participation is reviewed before enrollment. A tester invitation or verified email is not a school data agreement or authorization for students. Send your district’s review requirements before adding real student records.

Students stay in your classroom

Adults manage accounts, classes and student logins. Students do not purchase subscriptions or independently register educator accounts.

  • Student email addresses and birth dates are not required.
  • Use a classroom nickname or first name where practical.
  • No advertising or sale of personal information.
  • Classroom activity is scoped to authorized users, not public student profiles.

Make participation understandable

Discuss classroom and home practice with families, including the achievements, avatars, rankings and Pactlings classmates can see.

School approval should cover the intended educational use and required privacy arrangements. Our own privacy responsibilities remain ours.

Purpose: Verify access and manage the school.

Access: Authorized school staff within their roles; operator for support and security.

Student access

Teacher-provided name or nickname, login ID, protected password and login-card records, sessions.

Purpose: Provide a private, persistent classroom experience.

Access: The student and authorized educators. Downloaded login cards must be kept private.

Learning and game progress

Answers, attempts, quest completion, XP, Pactlings, inventory, game results and classroom powers.

Purpose: Deliver lessons, save progress and show educators participation.

Encrypted copies of the database and files, plus minimal erasure records.

Purpose: Restore service after an incident while respecting completed account erasures.

Access: Restricted operator recovery services; private key held separately.

Retention, export and deletion

Removing a student from a class, archiving a class and deleting an account have different effects. Ask for a broader privacy review if records need to be located across historical activity, uploads, support and providers.

Current retention and deletion practices
Accounts and school recordsSchool-controlled retention for attendance, learning and recognition records. There is no automatic age-based deletion. Archive retains information; it is not deletion. Contact us to agree a school retention schedule.
Student deletionRemoves the active login, progress, structured attendance and learning history, and linked battle records. School-wide deletion includes former classes. Teacher-authored references, uploaded material and support correspondence may require a broader privacy request.
Account deletionPersonal classroom records and credentials enter the existing deletion process. School-owned records stay with the school when a staff account is deleted.
Automated encrypted backupsConfigured for 30-day retention. A verified replacement is required before cleanup; failures can delay expiry. Retained manual recovery copies require separate review.
Account erasure markersMinimal deletion records and pseudonymous recovery markers are retained while older recovery copies may exist. Removal requires review of all retained copies; current erasures must be applied before recovery.
Application email-delivery recordsScheduled cleanup after 30 days. Provider mail records and support correspondence have separate retention.
School AI usage metadataScheduled cleanup after 90 days; does not include prompts, source documents or generated answers.
AI source materialProcessed for the generation request, not saved as a source file in Pactling Academy. Provider retention still applies. Saved lesson content remains with the lesson.
Support and inactive recordsNo blanket automatic deletion schedule is represented as implemented. Requests are reviewed against purpose, school arrangements and applicable obligations.

For access, correction, export or deletion, contact support@pactlingacademy.com. Families may contact us directly. We verify identity and authority before disclosing or changing records and coordinate with the responsible school where appropriate.

Providers and processing

Adam Wachter operates Pactling Academy from Taiwan. Support access and service providers can involve international processing. We do not promise US-only storage or access; discuss your district’s requirements during review.

Cloudflare

Application hosting, database, file storage, network security and backup services.

Information: Account and classroom records, private uploads, encrypted recovery copies and network information.

International service. Specific contractual storage and processing requirements need review; no US-only guarantee.

Provider information

Google Drive

Additional encrypted operator recovery copies.

Information: Encrypted backup archives; the recovery private key is stored separately. Does not connect students’ Google accounts.

International service under the operator’s backup account.

Provider information

OpenAI — optional

Teacher-requested draft questions, vocabulary and quest stories.

Information: Selected source material, instructions and quest context. No automatic roster or student-progress feed.

Depends on the connected API account and provider arrangements; a school key does not establish US residency or zero retention.

Provider information

Optional AI, controlled by educators

Teachers can request draft questions, vocabulary and stories. They review the result before saving it. Core lessons and games work without connecting AI. School owners control shared school AI access and staff allowances.

Selected files, lesson text, instructions and quest context are sent to OpenAI when generation is requested. Do not upload student records, named completed work, grades, health information or student photographs. Use blank teaching materials or remove personal information before sending. An instruction asking AI to omit names does not remove information before transmission.

Connected API projects have their own charges and data settings. Disabling response storage is not Zero Data Retention. We do not claim that a teacher-provided or school-provided key automatically has zero retention or approved data residency.

School IT checklist

  • Use a current Chrome browser on Chromebook; test the managed student profile and actual school network.
  • Permit HTTPS to pactlingacademy.com and first-party artwork routes. Live duels, raids and tournaments also need secure WebSocket connections to the site.
  • Allow essential sign-in cookies and local preferences.
  • Students need their educator-issued login; no personal Google account or AI key is required.
  • Test sign-in, a question, one game and audio controls before the first lesson. A browser interaction may be needed before sound plays.

If filtering blocks an educational game, ask school IT to review the site; do not bypass school restrictions.

Accessibility & security review

HTTPS, access controls, protected credentials, administrator MFA and encrypted recovery copies are part of the implementation. Independent school reviews may require additional evidence.

We are assessing keyboard, screen-reader, timing and game accessibility. A completed independent accessibility report or SOC 2 Type II report is not currently represented as available.

Accessibility information and feedback →

Send security questionnaires or suspected incidents to support@pactlingacademy.com. Do not include passwords or student records in an initial email.

Evaluate the pilot with your school

  1. Have an authorized adult request pilot access and identify the school’s state and intended use.
  2. Share this information with your privacy, IT and purchasing contacts.
  3. Send required DPAs, state addenda, accessibility requirements and vendor questionnaires for review.
  4. Agree the scope before adding students, then run a short classroom evaluation.

The approved pilot has no subscription fee. Paid plans, payment collection and purchase-order fulfillment are not active promises on this page. We will provide pricing, renewal/cancellation terms, invoicing and vendor details before asking a school to commit to a paid service.

A separately signed school agreement is reviewed individually. This page is not a signed DPA, an NDPA approval, or a certification of FERPA, COPPA or every state’s requirements.

Bring us your school’s requirements.
