Who we are

Good Teaching Tools is a free service providing web-based tools and resources for teachers. It is operated by an individual educator and used by teachers internationally.

What data we collect

Good Teaching Tools does not collect, store or share personal data about you or your students.

Specifically:

  • The Report Comment Generator tool processes your style reference and generates comments using a third-party AI service (Anthropic). Student names are not sent to any external service; they are anonymised before processing. Your style reference and generated comments are not stored by Good Teaching Tools.
  • The Groups Creator tool stores your class list locally on your device only, using your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to Good Teaching Tools or any third party.

Third-party services

Good Teaching Tools uses the following third-party services:

  • Anthropic provides the AI used in the Report Comment Generator. Your style reference text is sent to Anthropic for processing. Anthropic's privacy policy applies to this data: anthropic.com/privacy
  • Vercel hosts this website. Vercel may collect anonymous usage data (page visits, performance metrics). No personally identifiable information is collected. Vercel's privacy policy applies: vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy
  • Vercel Analytics collects anonymous, aggregated data about site visits. No cookies are used and no individual users are tracked.

Your responsibilities

You are the data controller for any student data you use within these tools. You are responsible for:

  • Ensuring your use of these tools complies with your school's data protection policy
  • Not entering real student names into the Report Comment Generator style reference
  • Using the Groups Creator on a secure, personal device
  • Obtaining any necessary permissions required by your school or local authority

Data protection rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have rights under applicable data protection law to access, correct or delete personal data held about you. This includes rights under GDPR for users in the EU and UK. As Good Teaching Tools does not store personal data, there is no data held about you to access or delete. The Groups Creator stores data on your own device and you can delete this at any time using the Reset class list function.
