Last updated: October 1, 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
This Privacy Policy describes how TeachAssist ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile application. TeachAssist is developed by an individual developer based in Toronto, Canada, and serves as a mobile interface for accessing ta.yrdsb.ca. It also looks up teachers on the Ontario College of Teachers' public register (apps.oct.ca).
2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Login Credentials:
- - Username and password for ta.yrdsb.ca
- - This information is stored locally on your device only
Temporary Session Data:
- - Educational content from ta.yrdsb.ca during your session
- - This data is temporarily cached and automatically deleted when you logout or uninstall the app
Device Information:
- - Push notification token (only if you opt-in to notifications)
3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use your information solely to:
- - Authenticate you with ta.yrdsb.ca
- - Display your educational content within the mobile app
- - Send push notifications (if enabled by you)
Important: No personal data is transmitted to us, our servers, or any third parties. All data processing occurs locally on your device.
4. DATA STORAGE AND SECURITY
Local Storage:
- - Your username and password are stored securely on your device until you log out
- - Session content is temporarily stored and automatically deleted when logged out
- - All locally stored data is encrypted
No Remote Storage:
- - We do not operate servers or databases

- - Your information is only shared between your device and ta.yrdsb.ca
- - Lookups on apps.oct.ca carry none of your information (see Section 9)
Website Security:
- - This website (ta.prmntr.com) is served only over HTTPS, and sends standard browser security headers that stop it being embedded by other sites, limit the referrer information shared with sites you visit from it, and disable device features (camera, microphone, location) it has no use for
5. DATA SHARING
We do not share, sell, or distribute your personal information to any third parties. Your data is only accessed by:
- - Your device (local storage and processing)
- - ta.yrdsb.ca (for authentication and content retrieval)
Nothing about you is sent to apps.oct.ca.
6. DATA RETENTION
- - Login credentials: Retained until you manually log out
- - Session content: Retained until you manually log out

- - Contact us with privacy-related questions
8. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
TeachAssist is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
9. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
TeachAssist interfaces with ta.yrdsb.ca. Please review their privacy policy to understand how they handle your information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of ta.yrdsb.ca.
TeachAssist also queries apps.oct.ca, the Ontario College of Teachers' public register, to look up publicly listed teacher information. These requests identify themselves with a fixed identifier taken from the register's own public website — the same one for every user, not tied to you or your device. They contain none of your credentials, grades, or other personal information, and nothing about you is taken or stored. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of the Ontario College of Teachers.
10. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the app and updating the "Last Updated" date.
