UoG Degree Planner (https://uni.voktera.com)
UoG Degree Planner is a free degree-planning tool for University of Guelph programs. You can use it without an account (plans stay in your browser). If you sign in, we store your plans in the cloud.
| Category | Examples | How we get it | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | Email address, account user ID | You sign in with Google (email scope only) or email magic link | Account and cloud sync |
| User content | Saved degree plans (program choice, terms, placed courses, Area of Emphasis) | You build plans in the app | Cloud save and restore |
| Share links | A random share ID if you make a plan public | You enable sharing | Read-only link for others |
| Technical data | IP address, browser/device type, server logs | Automatic when you use the Service | Security, debugging, abuse prevention |
| Cookies & local storage | Supabase session cookies, planner state, theme | Your browser | Login, offline plans, preferences |
Course catalog data (program requirements, course descriptions) is static public JSON served from our CDN. It is not personal information.
We do not receive your Google password. Google sign-in is limited to your email address for account identification. See Google’s Privacy Policy for how Google handles your Google account.
We do not sell your personal information or use planner data for advertising.
How we use planner information
- Create and secure your account when you choose cloud sync.
- Save, load, and delete your degree plans.
- Generate read-only share links when you explicitly make a plan public.
- Operate, secure, and improve the planner.
How we use your information (all Services)
We use personal information to:
- Provide the features you request.
- Operate, secure, and improve our Services.
- Respond to your requests and support messages.
- Comply with law and enforce our Terms.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for third-party advertising.
Legal bases (EEA/UK users)
Where GDPR applies, we rely on:
- Contract — to provide the Service you signed up for.
- Consent — for push notifications on the dashboard (you can withdraw consent).
- Legitimate interests — security, fraud prevention, and improving the Services, balanced against your rights.
Cookies and tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies for sign-in, preferences, and security. See our Cookie Policy for details. We do not run analytics or advertising trackers.
Third-party services
We use trusted providers who process data on our behalf:
| Provider | Purpose | Their privacy policy |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Authentication and database hosting | https://supabase.com/privacy |
| Vercel | Hosting and serverless functions | https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Bot protection on dashboard sign-in (when enabled) | https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/ |
| Optional sign-in on the degree planner (email scope only) | https://policies.google.com/privacy |
These providers may process data in East US (Ohio), United States. By using the Services, you understand your information may be transferred outside your province or country.
How long we keep data
- Account data — while your account is active and for a short period after you ask us to delete it (we aim to complete deletion requests within about 30 days, subject to backups and legal holds).
- Dashboard label photos — not uploaded for in-app scan (OCR runs on your device). Pasted text is not stored as an image.
- Planner data — while your account is active; shared public plans remain readable via their link until you delete them or turn sharing off.
- Server logs — kept for a limited time per our hosts’ policies (typically weeks to months).
- Cookie consent record — stored in your browser until you clear it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access a copy of your personal information.
- Correct inaccurate information (many fields you can edit in the app).
- Delete your account and associated data.
- Export your data in a portable format (contact us — we will respond within a reasonable time).
- Withdraw consent for push notifications (dashboard).
- Object to or restrict certain processing where applicable.

Security
We use reasonable safeguards, including HTTPS, access controls, and database row-level security so users can only access their own data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
Children’s privacy
The Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact privacy@voktera.com and we will delete it.
