🇪🇺 Designed for GDPR compliance

DPA available. Data within the EU only.

📍 Servers: Prague, Czech Republic

No data transfer outside the Czech Republic or the EU.

1. Data & Hosting

Physical server location: Prague, Czech Republic.

Operator: Jiří Horák, Registration ID (IČO) 64754103, Unhošť, Czech Republic.

Data transfer outside EU: none. All data remains in the Czech Republic.

Hosting infrastructure: all data is stored on a dedicated VPS server with a Czech hosting provider. No third-party cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, etc.) are used.

2. Student Accounts

Students do not need an account, email address, or registration of any kind.

The teacher creates a board and shares the link (URL or QR code).
Students may contribute using a self-chosen display name. No real name or email address is required.
PinnyBinny intentionally minimizes collection of student personal data. No real names, email addresses, or student accounts are required. The only technical data recorded per post is the IP address (abuse prevention; see Data Retention).
Optional: teachers can set a board password or restrict anonymous posting.

3. How it works in the classroom

Teacher creates a board — takes under a minute, no installation required.
Share a link or QR code — students open it on any device.
Students post without accounts — no login, no email, no registration.
Teacher moderates in real time — approve, hide, or delete posts instantly.

Logged-in teacher (account holder):

Session cookie for authentication (essential, functional).

Non-logged-in users (students):

Minimal session cookie for board session identification (technically necessary).
No third-party tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies.

Statistics: PinnyBinny collects basic anonymous operational statistics without external tools. No Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no data sharing with third parties.

5. Data Retention

6. Security

HTTPS: all communication is encrypted; HTTP is automatically redirected to HTTPS.
Updates: the server and application receive regular security updates.

8. FAQ for Principals & IT

Does PinnyBinny use artificial intelligence?

PinnyBinny does not process student content using any AI tools. No content analysis, no machine learning, no LLMs. Student posts are stored exactly as written — nothing else is done with them.

Do students need an account or email address?

No. Students only need the link (URL or QR code). No registration, no email, no password. The school does not need to manage any student accounts.

Where is data physically stored?

Servers are located in Prague, Czech Republic. No data is transferred outside the EU.

Is a signed DPA available?

The DPA is concluded implicitly (by using the service). For schools that require a signed document, one is available on request — email support@pinnybinny.com.

Can students remain anonymous?

Yes. Students choose what display name to show (or none at all). No real name or email is required.

What cookies are placed on student devices?

Only technically necessary session cookies for the board. No tracking or advertising cookies. No third-party cookies (Google, Meta, etc.).

How do we request data deletion?

Email support@pinnybinny.com. We respond within 5 business days.

Is PinnyBinny COPPA compliant?

PinnyBinny is built for EU schools under GDPR. COPPA is a US law and does not directly apply. However, because students post without creating accounts or providing personal information, the privacy risk profile is low. US schools should make their own assessment.
