Privacy policy
Last updated November 13, 2026
The short version: HallSync collects only what a hall pass needs, keeps student records inside the school's own Google Workspace account, and never sells data, shows ads or tracks students.
Who this covers
This policy covers the HallSync hall pass app used in classrooms and this website, hallsync.app. HallSync is used by teachers and schools; students use it only through their school.
What the app records
| Information | Why |
|---|---|
| Student name and school email address, from the school Google sign-in | To know who is in line and who is out of the room |
| Destination (restroom, nurse, front office) and times out and back | To run the line and give teachers an accurate record of each trip |
| Class code check-ins (time and class period) | To make sure only students in the room can join that class's line |
| Teacher settings, such as pass limits, blocked students and keep-apart groups | To apply the rules a teacher or administrator sets |
HallSync does not collect student home addresses, phone numbers, grades, location, photos or browsing activity.
Where it is stored
Hall pass records are stored in a Google Sheet inside the school's own Google Workspace account, created and controlled by the teacher or school that runs HallSync. The school can view, export or delete those records at any time. Older records are moved to archive tabs each night.
What we never do
- We do not sell, rent or trade student or teacher information.
- We do not show ads, and we do not use student information for advertising or to build profiles.
- We do not use third-party analytics or tracking on students.
- We do not share information with anyone except as needed to run the service for the school, or when required by law.
Student records and the school
Hall pass records are part of the school's own records. HallSync is designed to be used under the school's direction, in line with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), where the school provides consent on behalf of students. Parents and students who want to see or correct records should contact their school.
