The short version
You can use My Supplementals without an account and without telling us who you are. Your
school selections live in your browser. When you copy a short share link or export to
Google Docs, we also save its school selections and question answers so the link can
restore your list. If you export to Google Docs, we learn your email address and keep it
so we can ask how the tool worked for you. We never sell any of it.
What we collect
- Your school selections and question answers are stored in your browser (localStorage)
and encoded into the page URL to look up matching essays. Copying a short share link or exporting
to Google Docs also stores the linked selections and answers on our servers. Anyone with that
link can open them. We keep saved links working until you ask us to remove one.
- If you export to Google Docs, you sign in with Google. We receive your
name and email address and a temporary permission to create documents in your Drive. We
store your name, email, the export format, and how many schools and essays you exported,
so we can follow up and ask for feedback. We can only see files our tool creates — never
the rest of your Drive.
- Anonymous usage analytics (page views and feature clicks) via privacy-friendly
analytics, without advertising trackers or cross-site cookies. We do not record your screen
or your keystrokes.
- Error reports when something breaks — the error message, the page it happened
on, and your browser version — so we can fix it. These contain no essay text and nothing you
typed.
What we don't do
- We don't sell or rent your information to anyone.
- We don't read, access, or store anything in your Google Drive beyond the documents the
export creates.
- We don't require an account, and we don't track you across other websites.
