Privacy Policy

1. About Our App

The Class Response System is designed to promote quality learning through real-time, anonymous student feedback. Built specifically for Daffodil International University (DIU), this app connects teachers and students in a structured feedback loop without compromising student privacy.

How Our System Works:

• Teachers create a session using the app before class begins
• Students join the session anonymously using a unique session code
• When students click "Start," the system logs the class as in progress
• After the session, students click "End" to complete quick feedback questions
• Feedback is stored securely and anonymously
• Teachers can review feedback insights and class performance in their dashboard

2. Information We Collect

• Teacher ID, name, email address, and department affiliation
• Course assignments and teaching sessions

For Students (Anonymous Data Only):
