What claim keeps about you.

Short version: your teacher sees what you say, the room sees only counts, and it is all deleted at the end of the school year.

What claim keeps

• Who you are in the seminar. Your student ID and the name on your teacher's class list, or the name you type if the seminar takes names.
• Your answers, each step, before and after the talk.
• Anything you write: a sentence, a question for the room, a reason in the talk, and what moved you.
• What you ask your partner and what it answers.
• A random tag your browser keeps, so you can get back in if the page closes.

claim does not ask for your email, your phone number, or where you are, and it shows no ads.

Who sees it

Your teacher, the person running the seminar, sees your name beside what you answer, write and ask your partner. The rest of the room never sees your name beside an answer. The screen shows the room's answers as counts and shapes, and only once five people have answered, so nobody is pointed at. A sentence you write may be shown on the screen, without your name. The person who runs claim for your school can see it too, to keep the site working.

Your thinking today, the page with your own path through the seminar, is yours alone. Only your phone opens it.

Your partner

Your partner is Claude, an AI made by Anthropic. What you ask it is sent to Claude through Amazon Bedrock to get an answer, and to nowhere else. It is not used to train any AI. Your partner helps you put your own thinking into words; it does not tell you what to think, and it can be wrong.

If something you write to your partner sounds like you might not be safe, it points you to people who can help, and the person at your school who looks after student safety is told.

How long it is kept

Your name, your answers, what you wrote and what you asked your partner are deleted on their own at the end of the school year, in the June 30 cleanup after that seminar. Your teacher can delete them sooner. What stays afterwards has no names in it, only counts.

A backup copy of claim is kept off the site for at most 30 days, so anything deleted is gone from every copy within 30 days.

Asking for it to be deleted

Ask your teacher. They can delete a seminar's names and answers right away. If you would rather not ask them, ask the person who runs claim at your school, who can take you off the student list and everything claim keeps about you with it. A parent or guardian can ask the same.
