What we collect, what's public, and what never is.

What we collect

  • Your @umb.edu email, to confirm you're a UMB student and to sign you in.
  • What you post: reviews, replies, and syllabi you choose to share.
  • What you do on other people's posts: helpful marks, flags (with the reason you picked and any note), and your award votes.
  • Professor page visits, counted per semester. Signed in, a visit is stored under a scrambled code made from your account, not the account itself. Signed out, it's stored under a random id your browser keeps (in its local storage). Only totals ever come out.
  • Your points, worked out from what you posted.
  • If you're a professor who claims a profile: the link and message you send, and your note. The site owner sees the email you signed in with, only to check the claim.
  • A sign-in cookie so you stay logged in.

What's public

  • Reviews: the text and scores, the course, the format (online, hybrid, in person), and the month and year you posted. Text needs sign-in to read, except a short preview.
  • Replies: the text and the month. If you wrote the review you're replying to, the reply says “Reviewer”.
  • Totals only: how many people found a review helpful, how many people viewed a professor's page this semester, and award vote standings.

What's never public

  • Your name, email, or account.
  • The exact day you posted. Only the month and year show.
  • Which reviews, replies, syllabi, flags, or votes are yours. The admin pages don't show it either. Only the database owner can look it up, and only to answer a legal request or stop abuse.
  • Who viewed a page. Visits come out as counts, never as a list of people.
  • Your points and level. Only you see them.

Who else handles your data

  • Supabase stores the database and runs sign-in.
  • Resend sends the site owner a short email when something is flagged or requested. Those emails never include who did it.
  • Lovable hosts the site.

We don't sell data, and nobody can pay to change a rating.

Your choices

  • Edit a review for 30 days, and delete reviews and replies at any time.
  • Change your award vote until the semester ends.
  • Delete your account in Settings. It removes your reviews, replies, points, votes and page-visit records.
  • Questions go through the contact form.
