Privacy modes

Every class in Lubna has a privacy mode. The mode decides what Lubna can do with student identity. Student names stay in the teacher’s browser in both modes.

Anonymous mode

This is the default. A teacher can start alone, with no school setup.

• Students join with a code, plus their roster code or a guest label.
• Lubna only knows codes, never names.
• Per-student AI work keyed by code is allowed, such as grading quizzes and making follow-up practice.
• There are no student accounts.
• Anything that needs a student’s identity or a parent contact is not available.

Verified school mode

A class becomes verified after a school or district signs a data agreement and the Lubna team records it. Teachers cannot switch their own class.

• Everything in anonymous mode still works.
• Students can sign in with Clever or ClassLink when the district is linked.
• A student account can be linked to a roster code. Lubna stores a provider ID, a placeholder name (“Student”) and a made-up address, not the student’s real name or email.
• Features that need a student’s identity or a parent’s contact are possible. Each message is something the teacher approves before it is sent.

Student accounts never give access to teacher pages.

Good to know

• A class that is not yet verified is not less safe for names. Names stay on the device in every mode.
