Trust & Privacy

BitLab is a small in-class activity tool. Students join a short-lived room by entering a 4-character code the teacher shares, pick a group name, and submit answers to compression, encoding, and encryption exercises. The teacher reveals the underlying concepts at the right moment.

BitLab has no student accounts. Students do not sign in, do not create profiles, and are not asked for an email address, phone number, or any other personal identifier.

The teacher creates a room without an account and receives a 6-digit teacher PIN. The PIN is required to change activities, lock submissions, and trigger reveals. Teachers may share the PIN with co-teachers or course assistants.

Per room, BitLab stores: the room code, the teacher PIN, the current activity and reveal state, the group names students type, and the answers each group submits (e.g. an encoding, a chosen flag pattern). No names, emails, IP addresses, or device identifiers are collected by the app.

Rooms are intended to be used for one class session. There is no data export, analytics dashboard, or cross-room aggregation.

Access to a room is gated by the room code, which the teacher shares verbally or on the board. Anyone with the code can join that room, view its groups and submissions in real time, and create or update a group. This is intentional — it lets students collaborate without logins.

Teacher-only actions (switching activity, locking a round, revealing answers, clearing submissions) are protected by the teacher PIN and verified on the server before any change is applied. The PIN itself is never returned to clients.

BitLab is built on Lovable and uses Lovable Cloud (backed by Supabase) for its database and realtime sync. Data is transmitted over HTTPS. These are platform capabilities, not independent certifications.

BitLab does not set advertising cookies and does not embed third-party analytics or tracking scripts. The browser may store a small amount of room/session state locally so that a refresh keeps a group in the same room.

Because BitLab does not collect personal data, there is no individual account to delete. Teachers who want a room and its submissions removed can ask the BitLab operator to clear it.

Questions about classroom use, data, or this page should go to the teacher running the session.
