What we keep. Who can see it.

One account across games.

Your verified email, private name, section, and account ID connect your activity across the class quiz and Ledger Legends. Email verification confirms control of the address; it does not confirm enrollment. Passwords are optional. Short-lived, single-use email codes also provide sign-in and recovery. Never use your university password here.

Your account and progress.

Email accounts store your login email, chosen name, section, hashed password, privacy choices, and progress. Anonymous accounts use a generated username instead of an email. We store your decisions and answers so you can resume and your instructor can provide feedback.

Your instructor.

The instructor can see students’ course progress, practice answers and receipts, and focused activities. This course use is disclosed at signup. Practice results are formative and are not grades.

Class reviews and practice.

We keep first answers, response times, repeat votes, and review/practice activity so you and your instructor can understand learning. Classes linked to an account and their private reviews are retained for up to 180 days after class; guest review links normally expire after 30 days. The underlying class record may remain for 180 days when the class includes account-linked students. Old reviews connect only after you explicitly request an exact match to your verified email. Private review links grant access to whoever holds them; avoid forwarding them.

Your choices.

Class-market participation and game review email are separate, optional choices. They start off for new shared accounts. You can change them in Account. No Canvas connection is required. Legacy accounts may have an older optional Canvas association, managed in their game preferences.

The class market.

Only signed-in classmates in your selected section can see its standings. The market shows your chosen stand name, customers served, and season profit if you opt in. It does not display your login email or personal name. Your stand contributes to the class goal whether or not it appears in the market.

Cookies and outside services.

A secure session cookie keeps you signed in for up to fourteen days. Signing out revokes that session; changing or resetting a password revokes other sessions. The site uses an email provider for account messages. Shared account credentials stay on our server; games receive separate, revocable sessions. Fonts are served from this site. Definition drills load published content from the original Accounting.Games collection; they do not need a separate login.

Retention and deletion.

You can request account deletion after a fresh email-code sign-in, or through your instructor. This removes linked progress from the live database. Daily backup copies are retained for up to thirty days; they are restricted to server administrators and expire through rotation. If an older backup is restored, administrators must reapply deletions before reopening the service. The instructor reviews course data at the end of each term and removes accounts no longer needed for teaching.

Questions or corrections.

Contact your ACC 202 instructor through the usual course channel. You can ask about your data, correct a course association, or request removal. The site does not sell student data or run advertising trackers.

This notice describes the implemented pilot. Institutional review of the course’s data use remains the instructor’s responsibility.
