Privacy Policy
Better WiSE Page is a browser extension that improves the Wesley College WiSE learning platform. This page explains exactly what the extension reads, where that data goes, and what it never does. It is written to match what the shipped code actually does.
What the extension does
It runs only on wise.wesleycollege.net and adds a few things to that site: your next class,
a to-do list built from course announcements, an expandable timetable, and faster in-site search.
Nothing is collected on any other website, and the extension does not run anywhere else.
What it reads
- Page content you can already see while signed in to WiSE: class names, course announcements (title and body text), timetable periods, and due dates. This is used only to draw cards and summaries on the page.
- Settings you enter yourself: display and animation preferences, background colours, and — only if you enable AI features — the API endpoint and API key you provide.
The extension does not read your password, other tabs, your browsing history, your clipboard, or local files. It does not use cookies for tracking and does not inject anything into pages you visit outside WiSE.
Where your data lives
| Storage | Your own browser profile, via chrome.storage.local and chrome.storage.sync. |
|---|---|
| Server-side storage | None. The developer has no backend and receives no data. |
| Removal | Use Clear all caches in the extension settings, or uninstall the extension. |
When data leaves your device
Only if you turn on Use AI to optimise task list and supply your own API key.
In that case the extension sends the title and body text of course announcements, plus a prompt, straight from your browser to the AI endpoint you configured — by default the Google Gemini API. The request goes from your machine directly to that provider; it does not pass through the developer. How Google handles that content is governed by Google's own API terms and privacy policy.
With AI features switched off — the default — the extension makes no external requests at all.
Beyond that endpoint, the only hosts the extension is permitted to contact are
wise.wesleycollege.net (the site itself) and login.microsoftonline.com
(Microsoft sign-in, if your session needs refreshing).
What it never does
- No accounts, no sign-up, no email address collected.
- No analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or advertising SDKs.
- No sale, rental, or sharing of data with advertisers or data brokers.
- No remote code — all logic ships inside the extension package.
Student data
The extension is used by students at Wesley College, and course announcements may concern minors. That content stays in your own browser and is used only to generate summaries you can see. The developer cannot access it. The single exception is described above: when you deliberately enable the AI feature, announcement text is sent to the AI provider you selected, under your own API account.
Your control
You can disable AI features, clear all locally stored data, or uninstall the extension at any time from the extension's settings page or your browser's extension manager. Nothing persists anywhere else.
Changes to this policy
If the extension's data practices change, the date at the top of this page is updated and the change is noted in the extension's release notes. Material changes will be described in the store listing update.
