Student data

Students don’t create personal logins for Electricity Explained so we don’t hold any individual student data. We do collect aggregate data to understand how the site is being used, but we can’t and don’t identify any given student who uses the website.

Quiz data

Our quizzes are hosted on Google forms. We don’t collect individual names. If we give you access to the editable forms then you may choose to create your own copy and add a name field. It is then up to you to manage any personal data appropriately. We look at aggregate data for all users, but we can’t tell who has acccessed any given quiz at a student or school level.
