The best answer to every question, and why
  1. You type your class list into Peabody's name picker. Where is it kept? In this browser's own storage, on this computer. Yes. What you enter into a tool is kept in your browser on this device. It isn't sent to Peabody, and Peabody can't see it.
  2. You copy a share link for a saved wheel of names and email it to a colleague. Who can read the names? Only the people you give the link to. The content sits after the # in the address, and browsers don't send that part to any server. Anyone holding the link can read it, so share it the way you'd share the list itself.
  3. You clear your browser's site data. What happens to your saved lists and boards? They're gone. Yes. They lived only in this browser. If you need a list again, keep your own copy somewhere you trust.
  4. What does Peabody Teach count about visits? Visits to pages: which page, the site that sent you, a rough device type. That's it, from its own simple counter and a Google Analytics tag, and neither is given names. It shows which tools are used and which need fixing.
  5. Your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal. What changes on Peabody Teach? The Google Analytics tag isn't loaded. Yes. The privacy page says the tag is not loaded when your browser sends that signal.
  6. A Peabody Teach tool uses an AI helper. What happens to student names in what you write? They're removed in your browser before anything is sent, and the text isn't kept. That's what the privacy page promises. With any AI tool, it's worth checking whether what you type is stored or used to train it.
  7. Are there ads on Peabody Teach? No ads and no ad networks. Yes, so nothing on the site follows you around the web, and no data is sold or shared. Many free sites do run ad networks; their privacy page will say.
  8. What's the safest habit with any online classroom tool, this one included? First names or nicknames only, never a full name with other personal details. Yes. The privacy page asks exactly this. A first name in a picker is fine; a full name with a birthday or a reading level doesn't belong in any box online.
