Hulŭniixsuwáakan is a dictionary and learning site for our language classes. It’s run by the teachers of the department, for their students. This page says what it keeps about you, why, and who can see it.

What it keeps

• Your sign-in: your sign-in name, the name shown on the site, and your password, stored scrambled (as a hash) so nobody can read it, not even teachers.
• Your learning: your classes, the homework you tick off, your notes and the words you save as favorites.
• What you post on Social: your questions, answers and the pictures you add. Pictures have their location and camera details removed when you add them.
• Staff profiles on Meet the Department: what each member of staff chose to share.
• A short record of sign-ins and changes (when, which account, and the internet address), kept to keep the site safe.

It doesn’t keep your location, contacts, photos you don’t add, or anything else on your phone.

Who can see it

• Your notes, favorites and ticked homework: you. The people who run the site can see the files they’re saved in.
• Your Social posts: everyone who can sign in to the site.
• Your teachers can see your account and which classes you’re in.

Nothing is sold, shared with advertisers or used for advertising. There are no ads and no tracking.

Where it’s kept

The site runs on Render (render.com). Accounts, notes, posts and pictures are saved in a private GitHub (github.com) repository that only the people who run the site can open. Both keep data in data centres that may be outside your country.

On your phone

The site uses one cookie, to keep you signed in. The app keeps copies of pages you’ve opened on your phone so they work without internet; signing out removes them. If you use the shared class account, your notes and favorites are kept only on that phone.

How long it’s kept, and removing it

Accounts are deleted when you leave the class, with your notes and favorites. You can delete your own notes at any time. To see what’s kept about you, correct it or have it deleted, contact your teacher or the school office.
