Privacy Policy — Vandy RMP Integration

Effective date: June 15, 2026

Vandy RMP Integration (“the extension”) is a browser extension that displays Rate My Professors ratings next to instructor names on Vanderbilt University’s YES (Your Enrollment Services) class-search pages. This policy explains exactly what the extension does and does not do with information.

The short version: the extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information, it has no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking, and it sends no data to any server operated by the developer.

Information the extension accesses

When you view a class-search page on Vanderbilt YES, the extension reads the instructor names shown on that page. These names come from Vanderbilt’s public course listings. The extension uses each name only to look up that professor’s public ratings.

The extension does not read, collect, or store:

How the information is used

Instructor names are used for one purpose: to query Rate My Professors for that professor’s public rating, difficulty score, “would take again” percentage, and profile link, which the extension then displays on the page.

Information shared with third parties

To retrieve ratings, the extension sends the instructor’s name to Rate My Professors (ratemyprofessors.com), a third-party service. This is the only outbound network request the extension makes. Rate My Professors’ handling of that request is governed by its own privacy policy, available at https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/.

The extension does not share information with any other third party. The developer does not operate any server that receives your data, and no data is ever sold or transferred for advertising or any other purpose.

Data storage and retention

To avoid repeated lookups, the extension caches the ratings it retrieves in your browser’s local storage (chrome.storage.local). This cache:

Your choices

You can clear all cached data at any time by removing the extension’s storage in your browser’s settings, or simply by uninstalling the extension. Uninstalling the extension removes all locally stored data.

Permissions

The extension requests only the permissions it needs to function:

Children’s privacy

The extension is intended for university students and the general public. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this same location with a revised effective date.
