Privacy

The short version

Only the Advisor uses an account, and it holds just your UMD email address. What you enter stays in your browser. No analytics, no ads, no tracking cookies, and nothing is sold.

What is stored in your browser

TurboTerp saves a few things on your device using your browser's local storage. None of it is sent to us.

turboterp-advisor-plan: your four-year plan.

turboterp-advisor-consent: your signed Advisor agreement (version, date and typed name).

turboterp-schedule: your saved schedule.

turboterp-leave-origin: the building you chose as your starting point for leave-by times.

turboterp-theme: your light or dark choice.

Clearing your site data in the browser deletes all of it.

Transcripts

If you add a transcript PDF, it is read in your browser, including text recognition (OCR) for scanned pages. The file is never uploaded.

Tracking

No analytics, no ads and no tracking cookies. We don't sell or share personal data.

Maps and location

Map tiles are loaded from OpenFreeMap, so it sees your IP address like any site you load images from.

Your location is used only when you tap a button like "Show my location", and it isn't stored.

When you plan a trip, its start and end points (which can be your location) are sent to our server to find buses. They're used for that request only and aren't saved.

Like any website, our host may keep short-lived request logs (such as IP address and the page requested) to run the service.

Signing in

Only the Advisor needs an account. Campus, Schedule and Today work without one.

When you sign in, your UMD email address is stored with our sign-in provider, Supabase, so we can send you a sign-in link. We never ask for or store your Testudo password.

Coming next: your plan on every device (planned)

We plan to store your plan and your signed agreement (version, time, account and a hash of the typed name) on our server, tied to your account, so they follow you between devices.

You will be able to delete it all yourself, after confirming that you mean it. This page will be updated before that starts.
