Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

VU Prime is a Chrome extension built for Virtual University of Pakistan campus staff. This page explains, plainly, what the extension does and does not do with your data and your students' data.

What stays in your browser

VU Prime automates your own VU portal session using your own login — the same way you'd click through it yourself, just faster. Your VU portal password is never seen, transmitted, or stored by VU Prime. Automation (marking challans, filling forms, sending WhatsApp messages) runs locally in your browser.

What we store, and why

• Account & subscription data. Your email address and a device identifier are stored on our servers (Cloudflare) so we can validate that your campus subscription is active. This is the only thing checked on every use.
• Student documents you process with Admission AutoFill. When you upload a student's documents, they're sent once to Anthropic's Claude API to read the text on them (OCR). The extracted details and the documents themselves are then saved to your own campus's private Google Sheet and Google Drive folder — not to a central VU Prime database. We do not retain a copy.
• Community chat. If you use the in-extension chat, your messages are stored so the feature can work (message history, moderation). Don't share anything in chat you wouldn't want other subscribers to see.

What we never do

• We never sell or share your data, or your students' data, with third parties.
• We never access your VU portal outside of the actions you explicitly trigger.
• We don't run analytics or advertising trackers inside the extension.

Permissions explained

Each browser permission VU Prime requests exists for a specific, visible feature — access to the VU portal to automate it, access to WhatsApp Web to send messages you compose, storage to remember your settings, and so on. A full breakdown is on the Chrome Web Store listing under "Privacy practices."

Your data, your control

Student records processed through VU Prime live in your own campus's Google account, which you control directly — you can view, export, or delete them at any time from Google Drive. To request deletion of your account/subscription data from our servers, email us below.
