Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes what data UH ProfCheck accesses, how it is used, and what is shared when the extension is used on the University of Houston enrollment portal.

Effective date: October 6, 2026

What the extension accesses

• The extension reads professor names, course codes, and displayed seat availability from the currently open University of Houston enrollment pages at https://saprd.my.uh.edu/*.
• Seat availability is used locally for low-seat notices and is not sent to the data services. The extension does not intentionally read unrelated tabs or unrelated websites.

What the extension sends off-device

• Professor names are sent to https://api.cougargrades.io/api/external/rmp/search to look up RateMyProfessor data.
• Professor names are sent to https://api.cougargrades.io/api/instructor/{name} to look up CougarGrades instructor data.
• Course codes are sent to https://api.cougargrades.io/api/course/{courseCode} to retrieve course-wide grade and withdrawal statistics when an instructor is unassigned. They are also used to construct CougarGrades links.

What the extension stores

• Preferences, including selectors, ranking mode, and dark mode, are stored using browser sync storage.
• The floating button position is stored locally. Professor and course lookup responses are cached in browser session storage and can be removed using Clear API Cache in settings.
• The extension does not intentionally store browsing history, authentication cookies, student IDs, schedules, or form submissions.

Data sharing

• The extension does not sell user data.
• The extension does not send analytics, advertising data, or developer telemetry.
• Lookup requests go to CougarGrades for professor and course metadata. CougarGrades and RateMyProfessors receive normal browser requests when a user opens an insight link.

Security

• The extension does not execute remote code.
• External links are opened in a new tab using noopener,noreferrer.
• The extension is scoped in its manifest to the University of Houston enrollment domain.
