Privacy
Verify your group without ever storing their actual names on our server.
Youhere's convenience is undoubtedly paperless check-ins with instant, online reports. In a standard setup, participant names appear directly on the organizer's roster:
| Participant Name | Total Check-ins | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Adams, Rachel | 14 | Verified |
| Baker, Marcus | 12 | Verified |
| Clark, Jessica | 15 | Verified |
| Davis, Ethan | 11 | Verified |
But you may have privacy concerns. We stand by our privacy policy, but we get it: your organization or school may have strict regulations about storing personal names on external servers. Core Privacy allows you to totally anonymize your roster, turning names into random codes that only you can decipher.
To use Core Privacy, have your participants enroll as usual. In your roster view, click the More dropdown and select Core privacy.
You have three ways of scrambling names:
Replaces the participant's last name with a 5-character cryptographic hex hash derived from their device, leaving the first name as-is.
| Anonymized Last | First Name | Total Check-ins |
|---|---|---|
| 9f4a1 | Rachel | 14 |
| 7b2e0 | Marcus | 12 |
| 3c8d4 | Jessica | 15 |
| e5a19 | Ethan | 11 |
Retains the 5-character last name hash and substitutes the first name with a random 5-letter dictionary word.
| Anonymized Last | First Name (Word) | Total Check-ins |
|---|---|---|
| 9f4a1 | BRICK | 14 |
| 7b2e0 | CHALK | 12 |
| 3c8d4 | FLUTE | 15 |
| e5a19 | SOLAR | 11 |
Replaces both names entirely: the last name becomes hash-WORD and the first name becomes a random dictionary word. Zero original name fragments remain.
| Pseudonym Last | Pseudonym First | Total Check-ins |
|---|---|---|
| 9f4a1-TIGER | BRICK | 14 |
| 7b2e0-FALCON | CHALK | 12 |
| 3c8d4-RIVER | FLUTE | 15 |
| e5a19-CEDAR | SOLAR | 11 |
To decipher your roster, participants tap More then Who am I? in their mobile app to see their unique personal hash:
Participants provide this hash to you privately (for example, on an index card or private class syllabus sheet), allowing you to build your own offline translation key. Since this exchange happens only between you and them, we have no way of identifying anyone on your roster.
| Participant Hash | Student Real Name | Student ID | Key Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9f4a1 | Adams, Rachel | #804912 | Mapped |
| 7b2e0 | Baker, Marcus | #804933 | Mapped |
| 3c8d4 | Clark, Jessica | #804981 | Mapped |
| e5a19 | Davis, Ethan | #805014 | Mapped |
Example translation key stored offline on the organizer's personal laptop or spreadsheet.
From a data-privacy perspective, your roster loses all face-value. Even if an unauthorized party or cloud leak ever occurred, all records on our servers consist solely of random hashes and words without any personal links.
