Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Jaraty ("we," "us," "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of all users, especially children and students. Every Jaraty tool is designed with privacy as a core principle: no student accounts, no tracking, no advertising, and no sale of data. This policy applies to all Jaraty tools, including both web-based tools hosted at jaraty.com and Chrome browser extensions distributed by Jaraty.

2. Covered Tools

This Privacy Policy covers all tools published under the Jaraty name, including:

If we release additional tools in the future, they will be governed by this same policy unless stated otherwise.

3. Information We Do Not Collect

Across all Jaraty tools, we do not collect:

• Student or teacher names, email addresses, or personal identifiers
• Account credentials (no accounts are required for any Jaraty tool)
• Behavioral, biometric, or demographic data
• Location or geolocation data
• Advertising identifiers or tracking cookies
• Browsing history, keystrokes, or screen recordings
• Device fingerprints or hardware identifiers

4. Information That May Be Processed Temporarily

Some web-based tools temporarily process user-provided content to deliver functionality. For example, text entered into a word cloud, poll response, or chat message is transmitted in real-time to display results. This data is:

• Processed in real-time and not permanently stored on any server
• Not associated with any personally identifiable information
• Not shared with any third party
• Not used for advertising, profiling, or analytics
• Cleared when the session ends

5. Chrome Extensions

Our Chrome extensions (You Shall Not Pass and TeacherMagic) operate entirely on the user's local device.

• No data is transmitted from the extension to any server operated by us or any third party
• No telemetry, analytics, or crash reports are collected or sent
• No browsing history is logged, recorded, or transmitted
• No network requests are made to Jaraty servers
• Any data stored locally by an extension (such as cached content or settings) remains on the device and is never transmitted

Chrome extensions may request permissions (such as storage, activeTab, or sidePanel) that are required for the extension to function. These permissions are used solely to provide the stated functionality and never to collect or transmit user data.

6. Hosting and Infrastructure

The Jaraty website is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect basic server access logs (IP address, request URL, timestamp) as part of standard web hosting. These logs are controlled by the hosting provider's own privacy policy, are not accessed or used by Jaraty for tracking purposes, and do not contain user-submitted content.

Jaraty does not use any additional analytics services, tracking pixels, or marketing tools.

7. Third-Party Services

Jaraty does not integrate with third-party advertising networks, social media trackers, data brokers, or behavioral analytics platforms. No user data is sold, rented, shared, or disclosed to any third party for any purpose.

8. Data Retention

Because Jaraty does not collect personal data, there is no personal data to retain or delete. Session-based data in web tools (such as poll responses, word cloud entries, or chat messages) is ephemeral and cleared when the session ends. Chrome extensions store data only on the local device and retain nothing remotely.

9. Children's Privacy

Jaraty tools are designed for use in K-12 educational settings, including by children under 13. We comply with COPPA by not collecting personal information from children. No Jaraty tool requires an account, login, or any form of personal information to use. See our COPPA Compliance page for details.

10. FERPA Compliance

Because Jaraty does not collect, store, or maintain student education records, FERPA obligations related to the disclosure of education records do not apply. Jaraty tools can be used in school settings without a data-sharing agreement because there is no data to share. See our FERPA Compliance page for details.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our tools evolve. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of any Jaraty tool after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
