Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 1, 2025
1. Introduction
BetterToddle ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our browser extension and desktop application (collectively, the "Service").
BetterToddle is a third-party tool designed to enhance the user experience of Toddle Learn / Toddle Student. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to TeacherCentric, Toddle Learning, or any of their partner organizations (the creators of Toddle).
2. Data Collection and Usage
We do not collect, intercept, or store your personal school data, login credentials, or academic records on our servers.
BetterToddle and DesToddle operate primarily as client-side modifications. This ensures your academic data remains private. To address specific concerns regarding data handling and optional features:
Login Credentials
We never capture, store, or transmit your school Toddle username or password to our servers.
- BetterToddle Extension: Uses your browser's existing active session with Toddle. It does not see or handle your login credentials directly.
- DesToddle App: Sends your credentials directly from your device to your school's Toddle server to authenticate. It does not send this information to us or any third party.
Data Storage & Cloud Sync (DesToddle Only)
- Local Storage: By default, all custom settings, themes, and preferences are stored locally on your device.
- Optional Cloud Sync: DesToddle offers a completely optional cloud sync feature to synchronize your application settings (e.g., themes, custom background preferences) across devices. This uses a custom, in-house authentication system separate from your school Toddle account.
Only your DesToddle configuration is synced. No school data, academic records, portfolios, or Toddle login credentials are ever uploaded or stored in this cloud service.
3. Transparency & Open Source
To address concerns regarding data privacy and the inability to "verify" our data handling: BetterToddle and DesToddle are fully open-source projects.
This means our entire codebase is publicly available on GitHub. Anyone, including school IT departments and security researchers, can inspect the code to verify that:
- No mechanism exists to capture or export your login credentials.
- No "spyware" or data harvesting code is present.
- The application behaves exactly as described in this policy.
4. Accuracy of Academic Information
The calculated criteria projections and predicted grades displayed by BetterToddle and DesToddle are estimates based on the raw data available in your client.
Please note:
- These calculations are intended as a personal guideline only.
- They may not reflect complex weighting rules, non-linear grading scales, standard-based assessment rules, or manual adjustments used by your specific school.
- You should never rely on these figures for official academic standing. Always refer to your official school reports and the grades published directly by your teachers for accurate results.
5. Analytics
We do not employ any in-app analytics or telemetry within the extension or desktop application itself. The only statistics we view are the anonymous, aggregated installation and usage metrics provided automatically by the Chrome Web Store.
DesToddle Anonymous Usage Statistics
DesToddle collects completely anonymous statistics about how many times the application is used. Each time DesToddle is opened, it sends a single, anonymous session count to our servers. This data is completely anonymous and contains no personal information, user identifiers, or any data that could be used to identify individual users. We use this aggregated data solely to understand overall usage patterns and improve the application.
6. Third-Party Services
Our website and Service may contain links to external sites (such as GitHub or Discord) that are not operated by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
7. Data Security
Since BetterToddle does not store your personal data on our servers, the security of your data is primarily dependent on:
- The security of your own device and browser.
- The security measures implemented by your school's official Toddle installation.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
