Poll Prompt Alert Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 4, 2026
Poll Prompt Alert is independent third-party software. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by The University of Texas at Austin, any school, instructor, or course platform.
Data the extension processes
After you enable the in-extension data-use consent and have paid access, Poll Prompt Alert checks supported Tower and UT Instapoll course pages. It reads the visible poll question and choices and the current course-page address to detect a poll, display and copy its text, and link the alert back to the course page. Poll text is processed in your browser. The extension does not select or submit answers. Course layouts can vary, so confirm your course and instructor allow the extension.
If you enable Chrome desktop notifications, Chrome receives the alert title and poll text to display the notification.
Optional phone notifications
If you enable ntfy, the extension sends the alert title and text, course-page link, and your ntfy topic to ntfy.sh. The topic appears in the request URL; keep it private because anyone who knows it may be able to subscribe to messages. If you enable Pushover, the extension sends the alert title, text, and course-page link, plus your Pushover User Key and application API token, to api.pushover.net to deliver alerts. These services process data under their own privacy policies.
Settings, account, and payment information
Alert preferences, consent status, ntfy topic, and any Pushover keys are stored with Chrome Sync storage and may sync through your Google Account. You can clear them in extension settings. ExtensionPay handles access, purchase login, and paid-access checks. The extension stores ExtensionPay access information and account status in Chrome Sync storage. ExtensionPay processes your email and purchase status; Stripe processes checkout and payment details. The extension does not receive or store your card number. The developer can view purchase records through ExtensionPay. See ExtensionPay’s privacy policy at https://extensionpay.com/privacy and Stripe’s privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.
How information is used and shared
Information is used to detect and display poll alerts, copy poll text, provide notification services you enable, save settings, and verify or restore paid access. It is shared with Chrome and Chrome Sync for notifications and settings synchronization; with ntfy.sh or Pushover only when you enable that service; and with ExtensionPay and Stripe for account, checkout, and access functions. Student Hackz does not sell user data or use it for advertising or unrelated purposes. The developer does not inspect poll content or notification credentials.
Your choices and contact
You can decline or turn off data-use consent in extension settings to stop poll-page checks and alerts. You can turn off optional phone alerts or clear their credentials in settings. You can clear synced settings through Chrome Sync. Google, ntfy, Pushover, ExtensionPay, and Stripe may retain information under their own policies.
