Privacy Policy for Brightwheel Memories & Reports Exporter

Last Updated: August 23, 2026
Developer: Pengzhan Hao Repository: https://git.pengzhan.dev/haopengzhan/brightwheel-exporter


1. Overview & Commitment to Privacy

The Brightwheel Memories & Reports Exporter Chrome Extension was built with a strict Privacy-First architecture. We believe your family's personal memories, child photos, videos, and daily records belong exclusively to you.

This extension does NOT collect, store, track, sell, or transmit any personal data, media, credentials, or telemetry to the developer or any third-party servers.


2. How the Extension Operates

  • 100% Client-Side Processing: All data extraction, image/video downloading, ZIP archive packaging, and HTML report generation occur locally in your browser memory and on your device.
  • Direct Communications: Network requests for data and media are made strictly between your browser and Brightwheel's official endpoints (schools.mybrightwheel.com, *.brightwheel.com, *.cloudfront.net, and AWS S3 storage buckets) using your existing authenticated session cookies.
  • No Third-Party Analytics: The extension does not contain any tracking pixels, analytics scripts, advertising SDKs, or remote telemetry.

3. Data Storage & Local Permissions

  • Local Storage (chrome.storage.local): Used exclusively to store your export preferences (such as selected student ID and date filter settings) locally on your device across sessions.
  • Downloads (chrome.downloads & File System Access API): Used solely to save your exported ZIP archive, photos, videos, CSV spreadsheets, and HTML viewer directly to your local computer.
  • No External Data Retention: We operate no remote databases or servers. If you uninstall the extension, local settings stored in Chrome storage are automatically deleted by the browser.

4. Third-Party Services & Trademarks

This extension interacts only with Brightwheel's web application to help users back up their authorized family records. This project is an independent open-source tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Brightwheel.
