Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 30, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes our policies and procedures on the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use the Service and explains your privacy rights.

We use limited data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

Introduction

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Grayd, we have a few fundamental principles:

  • We don't store student grades or HAC credentials on Grayd servers.
  • We aim to make it simple for users to control their information.
  • We don't participate in any activity that compromises user privacy.

This Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Application.

Interpretation and Definitions

The definitions and terms should be interpreted as per the beginning section of this document.

Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

Types of Data Collected

Usage Data

We may collect standard diagnostic information such as device type, OS/app version, general region (derived from IP), timestamps, and performance metrics to maintain and improve the app.

Diagnostics/Crash Data

We use an error-monitoring service to collect crash logs and reliability events. These reports may include device/OS/app version, event timestamps, and limited, sanitized snippets of returned content (for example, short fragments of HAC HTML when a request fails) strictly to reproduce and fix issues. We implement automated redaction and retain these reports only for a limited period necessary to diagnose problems.

Local Storage and Session Handling

Grayd does not maintain server-side sessions for HAC access. Requests are sent directly from your device to HAC over encrypted connections. HAC may set its own cookies/session data within the webview or API response it controls; these are managed by HAC, not by Grayd. To support offline viewing, select HAC data you have already retrieved may be stored locally on your device and can be cleared by uninstalling the app.

Use of Data

We use the data solely to:

  • Provide, maintain, and monitor the Application's performance and reliability.
  • Diagnose and resolve crashes or errors.

We do not collect or store student grades or HAC credentials on Grayd servers. Your HAC username/password are sent from your device directly to HAC and are stored and encrypted only on your device.

Security of Your Data

We prioritize security. While no method of transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, Grayd uses encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) for network requests and stores any local app data on the device. We recommend enabling device-level protections (e.g., passcode/biometrics).

Retention of Data

We don't retain student grade data or HAC credentials on Grayd servers. Diagnostic/error data is kept only as long as necessary to troubleshoot issues and is then deleted.

Transfer of Data

Because Grayd does not store student grades or HAC credentials on Grayd servers, there is no routine transfer of such data to Grayd. Diagnostic data may be processed by our service providers subject to appropriate safeguards.

California SOPIPA Compliance

If you are a student or parent in California, please note that Grayd complies with the Student Online Personal Information Protection Act (SOPIPA). We do not:

  • Engage in targeted advertising based on student data,
  • Sell or rent student information,
  • Build personal profiles of students for non-educational purposes.

We use student information solely to provide the educational service requested, and all HAC data remains on-device.

Children's Privacy

Grayd is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If a district authorizes use by students under 13, it is responsible for obtaining any required parental consent under COPPA. If you believe we have inadvertently received information from a child under 13, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Links to Other Websites

Grayd might have links to other sites. Navigating to these sites will make you leave our service environment. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of such third-party sites. We don't control, and aren't responsible for, third-party content or their privacy policies.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date above. Where appropriate, we may provide additional notice.
