Privacy & student data
How the TheLucidSTEM Teacher Portal handles data, written plainly.
Last updated: 3 September 2026
The rest of TheLucidSTEM (lessons, simulations and practice) is free and needs no account. This page is only about the Teacher Portal, where a teacher can set quizzes and see scores.
What students give us
A student joins a class with a class code and a display name, nothing else.
- No email address, no password, no real name required.
- No date of birth, no contact details, no location.
- Student accounts are anonymous: from the data we hold, we cannot identify a student.
The display name is chosen so the teacher can recognise their own students. We suggest a first name and last initial, never a full name or anything private.
Students who choose to create their own account (to save progress and earn points outside a class) also give an email address, used only to send a one-time sign-in code, and a name.
What teachers give us
A teacher signs in with an email address (used only to send a one-time sign-in code) and may add their name and school, which appear on their own classes. That is all.
What we store
- The classes a teacher creates and their join codes.
- The assignments a teacher sets.
- Students' quiz answers and the resulting scores, kept against the display name inside that class.
- Practice points (XP) earned by signed-in students on lesson pages.
Quiz answer keys are checked on our server and are never sent to a student's browser.
How it is used
Only to run your classes and show you the gradebook. We do not sell or share data, and there is no advertising and no third-party tracking anywhere in the portal.
One exception is the public leaderboard on our home page. If you sign in with a student account and earn practice points, your first name and last initial (for example "Rejo R.") and your points may appear there. You can switch this off at any time from your progress page. Anonymous class members are never shown.
Cookies
When you sign in, a sign-in token is stored in your browser so you stay logged in. There are no tracking or advertising cookies.
Deleting data
A teacher can delete a class at any time from the class page. Deleting a class permanently erases its students, its assignments and all of their scores, and cannot be undone. For any other request, just email us.
Who runs it
TheLucidSTEM is a product of Nodus Technologies Pvt Ltd, which operates this service and is responsible for the data described above.
Where it is hosted
The website is served by Cloudflare. Portal data is held in a managed database (Supabase) and is encrypted in transit.
