Privacy overview
Plain-language privacy
A short summary of how we think about your data on GuiDrs and in the Chrome extension. This is not a substitute for legal advice or a finalized enterprise DPA, but it's the most honest first read you'll get.
Last updated: August 1, 2026
What we use your info for
We process the profile, academic, research, and preference information you provide so we can run mentorship matching, school exploration, chat, document workflows, Application Packet tools, and related product features. We do not sell your personal information to data brokers.
Chrome extension
The GuiDrs browser extension helps you insert Application Packet answers into graduate school forms and attach packet documents. It only uses data for that form-filling purpose. See the extension section below for what it stores and what it does not collect.
Agentic AI
Some features use AI to interpret text you submit (drafts, chat context) to suggest next steps or matches. You should assume prompts and excerpts may be processed by model providers under our instructions, treat sensitive secrets accordingly. We design flows so you can see what will be sent and avoid sharing what you are not comfortable including.
Retention & security
We use industry-standard practices appropriate to our stage: access controls, encryption in transit where supported by our stack, and limited internal access to production data. Exact retention windows may evolve as we ship billing, exports, and deletion tools, when they change, we will update this page.
Visibility you control
You decide what mentors see. AI-generated summaries are previewed before they are shared. Nothing about you leaves the platform without an explicit action on your end.
Browser extension
GuiDrs Chrome extension
The extension's single purpose is helping you fill graduate school application forms using your GuiDrs Application Packet or details you enter in the side panel. Disclosures below match what we report on the Chrome Web Store.
What it handles
Personally identifiable information from your Application Packet or guest answers (for example name, email, phone, address, academics, and essays), authentication tokens when you sign in on GuiDrs so the extension can load your packet, and website content on school application pages (form labels and field values) so it can match, suggest, insert, save, or attach files.
Where it is stored
Guest answers and preferences stay in your browser via Chrome storage on that device. When you are signed in, the extension syncs your GuiDrs session and may load or save packet answers and documents through our GuiDrs API. We use that data only to power Application Packet form-filling, not for ads, resale, or credit decisions.
What it does not collect
The extension does not sell your data, does not build a browsing-history list, does not log keystrokes, clicks, mouse position, or scroll for analytics, and does not read your email, texts, or chat apps. Password fields are excluded from fill. It does not use your data for purposes unrelated to helping you complete graduate school forms.
Questions or requests
