Privacy Policy
Unisole is a dashboard that shows an LMU student their assignments, announcements, and important emails in one place. It was built by an LMU student and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Loyola Marymount University, D2L (Brightspace), McGraw Hill, or Microsoft.
What the extension reads
The Unisole Chrome extension only reads data from sites you are already signed in to in Chrome, and only for your own account:
- Brightspace: your course list, assignment and quiz names, due dates, submission status, and course announcements.
- McGraw Hill Connect: assignment names, due dates, and points.
- LMU Outlook: for messages in your inbox, the sender name and address, the subject line, the short preview text Outlook shows in its message list, the received time, and whether the message is read or unread. Never full email bodies, attachments, folders other than the inbox, or anything you send.
What we never see
Unisole never sees, stores, or transmits your LMU password, your Duo codes, or your Microsoft or McGraw Hill passwords. The extension uses the logins already in your browser. Your Unisole account itself uses an email address and a password that only Unisole stores, in hashed form.
Where your data goes
Everything the extension reads is saved to your own Unisole account, hosted on Supabase in the United States. Database access rules mean only your account can read your rows. Data is encrypted in transit.
To write your daily brief and sort your email, assignment titles and email subject lines and previews are processed by a third-party language-model service (Anthropic) under terms that do not allow it to train on your data. No passwords, full email bodies, or attachments are ever sent there.
What we do with it
We use your data to show your dashboard, write your brief, and sort your email. That is the only purpose. We do not sell it, share it with the university or anyone else, use it for advertising, or use it for anything unrelated to the dashboard.
We use usage analytics (which pages are opened and which features are used) to improve the app. School data is not included in analytics.
Account and usage records
Alongside your school data, your account holds a few small records that help us run and improve Unisole:
- Setup progress: which setup steps you reached, when the extension was detected, and which sites you connected or skipped. This tells us where setup is confusing. It holds no school content.
- How you found us: if you arrived through a tagged link (for example a flyer or a post), the tags on that link (a short source name and any campaign labels the link carried) and the date of your first visit are saved with your account. These are labels from the link itself, never a list of sites you visited.
- Extension status: the extension version you run, the settings version it uses, and the last sync result, so we can help when something stops syncing.
- Brief and sorting counters: how many times per day your brief and email sorting were refreshed, used only to limit how often they run.
If you visit on a phone
The extension only installs on a laptop or desktop, so on a phone we offer to save your email address so you remember to finish later. If you leave it, we store the address, the tags of the link you came from, the date, and the kind of device (phone or tablet, iOS or Android), never the full browser details. The list only takes LMU addresses. It is used only to remind you about Unisole, never shared, and you can ask us to remove it at any time at the address below.
Extension settings
The extension can fetch a small settings file from your Unisole account (for example how often to sync, or which part of a page to read) so fixes do not always need a new extension release. These settings are plain values, never code, and the extension checks every one of them before use.
How long we keep it, and how to delete it
Your data stays in your account for as long as the account exists. On the dashboard, open Settings (the gear icon) and choose Delete account: your account, everything synced to it, the records above, and any phone reminder that used your address are erased immediately. Signing out of the extension also clears the copy it keeps on your computer. A phone reminder left without an account is removed on request.
Who this is for
Unisole is for LMU students and requires an LMU email address. It is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is posted at this address with a new date.
