Privacy policy: ASU Prereq Helper

Last updated: May 3, 2026

This policy describes the Chrome extension ASU Prereq Helper (“the Extension”).

What the Extension does

The Extension runs on Arizona State University (asu.edu) websites. It reads public class search pages you already have open, finds course codes (for example CSE 230), and requests public course requirement text from ASU’s My ASU platform API (api.myasuplat-dpl.asu.edu) so prerequisites and duplicate-credit rules can be shown next to search results.

Data collection and storage

• The Extension does not collect personal information, analytics, or browsing history for the developer.
• The Extension does not sell or share data with third parties.
• The Extension may store only the following on your device using Chrome’s extension storage APIs:
  • The last session (term) code detected from a Class Search URL or link on the page, so requirement lookups can keep working when the address bar does not include a term code.
  • An optional manual session code if you choose to set one in the extension options.

These values stay on your device and are used only to choose the correct term when querying the public API.

Permissions

• storage: Save the optional manual term and the last detected term as described above.
• Host access to *.asu.edu and api.myasuplat-dpl.asu.edu: Inject the prerequisite summary on ASU pages and fetch course requirement descriptions from ASU’s API.

Third-party services

Course text is retrieved from Arizona State University systems only, as you would load in a normal browser session. The Extension does not send that content to any other servers.
