Student Privacy

GoVenture products are designed to minimize and eliminate student privacy risks.

​

​

GoVenture BOARD GAMES & CARD GAMES

​

Zero privacy risk
 

  • Board games and card games are print-based products.
     

  • There are no electronic components for students.
     

  • The games have no ability to collect student information and no ability to transmit information.

​​

​

GoVenture PERPETUAL LICENSE

 

Zero privacy risk
 

  • These GoVenture products are installed directly to school computers or a school network. They do not require student or instructor accounts and do not require students or instructors to access the Internet to play.
     

  • GoVenture does not collect any student information from the computer or network. Students save their progress to personal files on their local drives (similar to how a Microsoft Word or Excel file is saved locally).

​

GoVenture ONLINE SUBSCRIPTION

 

There are two types of Online Subscriptions:

​

  • For K-12 SCHOOLS

    Zero to minimal privacy risk
     

    • GoVenture runs in an Internet browser — there is nothing to install.
       

    • GoVenture does not integrate or communicate with other school systems, so there are no integration risks or considerations.
       

    • Students do NOT have to disclose personal information to play GoVenture.
       

    • Student accounts are controlled by the instructor.  Instructors generate student usernames using GoVenture.  Students do not use or disclose their emails.
       

    • To access GoVenture, Students only need to enter the username provided to them by the instructor, a password created by the student or instructor, and a student identification. The student identification is needed so that the instructor can identify student performance reports — this could be a first name, initials, ID number, or other alphanumeric string. For total privacy, instructors can choose to assign students a private alpha-numeric code (created by the instructor) instead of using real names or student numbers.
       

    • Student data can be deleted by the instructor at any time. 
       

    • At least one instructor account must be created to use GoVenture, and this instructor account normally includes name, email, school, country, username, and password. Passwords are hashed and encrypted. Data is encrypted using SSL/TLS in transit and encrypted at rest when stored in a database. Servers are hosted in secure locations in the US or Canada.
       

    • Students cannot communicate with anyone by using GoVenture — there are no messaging or content-sharing features. (This excludes GoVenture CEO if certain features are enabled by the instructor to allow students in the same class/simulation to collaborate, and this excludes GoVenture World which is specifically designed for global collaboration).
       

    • Student and instructor data is never sold, rented, or disclosed to third parties.

GoVenture SUITE

​

Zero privacy risk

​

Same as the above PERPETUAL LICENSE with the following two exceptions:

​

  • The GoVenture software launcher that is used by students and instructors to select and play a GoVenture program requires Internet access to validate the subscription when it is first installed/enabled. No personal, private, or network data is collected or transmitted.
     

  • The GoVenture software launcher may count the number of times each GoVenture program is played and this information may be submitted to an Internet server. The data is so small and infrequent, that it has negligible impact on the school's network and Internet. No personal, private, or network data is collected or transmitted. This feature is ONLY enabled if the school allows for this during the installation process (the school can easily opt out of this option).
