LOCKqz blocks AI assistants on a student's computer while a designated Brightspace quiz is open, then restores them when the quiz ends. It is open-note: it does not block notes, files, or the rest of the web. This policy explains exactly what it stores.

What LOCKqz collects

• A random device identifier generated on install (not tied to your name or email).
• Install status and app version.
• Timestamps when a quiz locks and unlocks, and tamper flags (e.g. the block was removed).
• The student name only if a quiz page provides one, so an instructor can match the lock to a roster entry.

What LOCKqz does NOT collect

• No quiz questions, answers, or grades.
• No keystrokes, clipboard, browsing history, or the contents of any page.
• No camera, microphone, screen capture, or screenshots.
• No location, contacts, or any data from outside a locked quiz.

How it is used and stored

• Data is used only to run the lock and to show an instructor who was locked during their own quiz.
• It is stored in the project's own Cloudflare instance and is never sold or shared with third parties.
• It is not used for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to quiz integrity.

Your control

• You install LOCKqz knowingly, and you can uninstall it at any time, which stops all collection.
• To request deletion of records tied to your device, contact the address below.
