Built for Student Safety

Quill creates a secure digital classroom where students can focus on improving their writing skills without privacy concerns or distractions.

Privacy First, by Design

Quill creates a secure digital classroom where students can focus on building writing skills without distractions or privacy concerns. There are no social features or student-to-student messaging, and teachers have full control over all student activity. Quill collects only the data necessary to support learning, and that data is never sold or used for advertising. We don’t allow tracking cookies or display any ads—just safe, focused learning.

Less Data, More Protection

When a student uses Quill, we only store their Name, Email, and Password for accessing the site. We do not collect any Personal Information about the student. By collecting as little data as possible, we ensure that student privacy by default.

District-Wide Oversight

Quill Premium provides district administrators with comprehensive oversight tools while maintaining individual classroom flexibility.

Access & Control

Quill supports single sign-on (SSO) and secure rostering to ensure that only authorized members of your school or district can access the platform. You can update, correct, or delete your account and information at any time through your account settings. We want you to have access to your information so you can help keep it accurate.

Account Management

Schools have administrative control over student accounts and can request access to, modification of, or deletion of student data. We assist schools in fulfilling their FERPA obligations and provide necessary information for proper consent processes.
