ParentLog

Privacy Policy

Effective 29 September 2026 · Version 1.0

The short version: ParentLog has no server, no account and no analytics. Everything it stores lives in your own Chrome profile, and it makes no network requests. Nothing you capture ever leaves your browser.

What ParentLog is

ParentLog is a Chrome extension for teachers. It copies the details of a parent email you have already sent or received into your school's PowerSchool log-entry form, and keeps a personal list (a "ledger") of those contacts.

What we collect

Nothing. We, the developers, receive no data from the extension. There is no telemetry, no crash reporting and no usage tracking.

What ParentLog stores on your device

When you click Log this contact on an email, ParentLog reads that one email and stores the following in Chrome's extension storage on your computer:

the other party's name and email address (the parent)
your own email address, used only to tell "sent" from "received"
the email's date and subject
the email's text, with any quoted earlier thread stored separately
a link back to the email
any student name or outcome note you type yourself
which PowerSchool page you filled it into and whether it was saved

This data stays in your browser profile. ParentLog uses chrome.storage.local, so Chrome does not sync it to your Google account or to other devices.

What ParentLog reads

Gmail and Outlook on the web: only the message you click the button on, and only at that moment. It never scans your inbox.
PowerSchool: only on the site address you explicitly allow in Settings. It reads the log-entry form fields and the student name shown on that page so it can fill the form and report what it did. It never clicks Submit for you.

What ParentLog never does

send email or student text anywhere
use AI or any external service
submit anything to PowerSchool automatically
run on websites other than Gmail, Outlook on the web and the PowerSchool address you allow

Deleting your data

Open the ParentLog panel, go to Settings and choose Delete all entries, or remove the extension from Chrome. Either action deletes everything ParentLog stored.

Permissions explained

Permission	Why it is needed
`storage`	Keep your ledger and settings on your device.
`sidePanel`	Show the ledger beside your tabs.
`activeTab`, `scripting`	Read the open email when you click Capture open email, and run on the PowerSchool site you allowed.
mail.google.com, outlook.office.com, outlook.office365.com, outlook.live.com	Show the Log this contact button on emails.
Optional: any site	So you can allow your own district's PowerSchool address. Only the one address you enter is ever used.

Children's data

ParentLog is used by teachers, not by students. Student names may appear in text the teacher captures; that text is stored only on the teacher's device under the school's own data-handling rules, and is never transmitted to us or to any third party.

Changes to this policy

If the extension ever adds a feature that sends data anywhere, this policy will be updated first and the change will be described in the extension's release notes.
