This Privacy Policy explains how the K12 Helper for Canvas Chrome Extension (the “Extension”) handles your information.
The Developer (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Extension is built to enhance your experience on the Canvas LMS platform while keeping your data safe and secure.
The Extension needs limited access to certain Canvas data to function properly. This includes:
Course and Assignment Data:
The Extension connects securely to your Canvas instance (for example, learn1.k12.com) through the official Canvas API to retrieve your list of courses, overdue assignments, and upcoming events. This information is used only to display the Overdue Assignments and Items To Do Today widgets inside your browser.
User Activity Data:
When you mark an item as “complete” within the “To Do Today” widget, that choice is stored locally so your progress appears the same the next time you visit.
The Extension does not collect any personally identifiable information beyond what is required to display your Canvas data.
All data handled by the Extension is stored locally on your device using Chrome’s built-in chrome.storage API.
This local data helps the extension remember which tasks you’ve marked as complete and which filters or settings you’ve selected.
No information is transmitted, stored, or backed up on any remote servers.
Your data persists between browser sessions but stays entirely on your computer.
We do not share, sell, or transmit any of your Canvas data, academic information, or personal details to any third parties.
All processing occurs client-side — meaning entirely within your browser. The Extension has no backend server and does not communicate with any service other than your institution’s official Canvas API.
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect improvements or compliance with new requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the “Last Updated” date will be revised accordingly.
