Informatist is a free business simulation for high school classes with no student accounts — no emails, no rosters, no passwords to reset, and nothing for your district to review.
Informatist collects no student names, no emails, no accounts, and no persistent identifiers. Students open a link and play; a game is identified only by a random anonymous session key that expires automatically.
This is architecture, not policy: the simulation was built server-side around anonymous sessions, so there is no student record to secure, breach, subpoena, or sell. The privacy policy is short because there is almost nothing to have a policy about.
Districts accessed an average of 2,982 distinct edtech tools in the 2024–25 school year, up nearly 9% year over year LearnPlatform by Instructure, 2024–25 EdTech Top 40 (as reported 2026).
Every one of those tools with student accounts is a review, a data-privacy agreement, and a password-reset queue. The fastest tool to approve is the one with nothing to approve — which is why "no login" is not a convenience feature here. It is the product decision the whole system is built around.
Informatist runs in any modern browser on a managed Chromebook: no install, no extension, no SSO, no firewall rule. Allowlist informatist.net and www.informatist.net — nothing else; the site makes no requests to any other domain.
If your web filter blocks unknown sites, paste this into an email — or send the printable IT one-pager:
No. There is nothing to sign up for. Solo games expire within 24 hours; classroom game rooms within 7 days.
It is designed so the question barely applies: no student personal information is collected in the first place, there is no advertising, and nothing is sold. Details in the privacy policy — written in plain language on purpose.
That's your district's call — but there is no student data for an agreement to govern. The IT one-pager answers the standard review questions on one printable page.
Also no account. The only email we ever hold is a teacher's, if they voluntarily join the classroom beta.
