Security & privacy

Built for school-managed access and privacy controls.

Ripplet is designed so schools control who can sign in, what roles users have, and what students can see.

School-managed authentication

Ripplet uses secure, school-managed single sign-on.

  • Google Workspace or Microsoft sign-in
  • Access restricted to approved school domains
  • No shared passwords; authentication handled by the provider

Private, dedicated school instances

Each licensed school receives its own dedicated instance of the app, with access limited to approved accounts.

  • Per-school isolation
  • Role-based permissions (Teacher/Admin/Student)
  • Class-level controls for tool availability

In-app privacy controls

Teachers can control visibility within classroom tools based on instructional goals and sensitivity of student content.

  • Video Discussions: private posts and post-reveal pacing options
  • Helplist: other students see anonymized entries; details are private to staff + request owner
  • Reflection: student submissions are preserved and teacher view is read-only

For district security reviews, we can provide additional technical documentation on request.
