Data Storage

Local Storage

  • All seating charts, classroom layouts, templates, and student data are stored in your browser's local storage
  • This data remains on your device and is never transmitted to any external servers

Sync Storage

  • When you use the sync feature or Auto Sync, your seating chart data may be synchronized across your Chrome browsers using Chrome's built-in sync service
  • This sync feature exclusively uses Chrome's sync infrastructure, which encrypts your data during transmission
  • We never have access to this data, as it remains within Google's Chrome sync ecosystem

Children's Privacy

This extension is designed for use by educators, including those who teach children. However, the extension does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, as all data remains local to your browser or in Chrome's sync service (if you choose to use the sync feature), which is provided by Google as part of the Chrome browser infrastructure.
