Your data lives in your Google. We don’t keep it.
Curator helps you organize the classroom you already run inside Google Classroom and Google Drive. It connects to your Google, surfaces the organization, and leaves your work exactly where it belongs. Curatoris not the system of record — your data stays in your Google account.
Effective June 3, 2026.
- We use your Google sign-in to identify you and connect to your Classroom and Drive.
- We store a minimal account record and an encrypted token so you stay signed in. The actual work lives in your Google.
- We never store student work, grades, or rosters. Student counts are read live and discarded.
- We don’t sell your data, show you ads, or use your data to train AI models.
- You can disconnect, sign out, or revoke Curator’s access at any time.
- Your Google identity (name, email, profile picture, account ID)To sign you in and show you your own account. We use Google's stable account ID as your user key; we never look other people up by email.
- Your Google Classroom courses (read-only)To list the classes you teach so you can choose which to connect.
- Your Classroom roster size (read-only)To show a student count on each classroom card. We read the count at the moment the page loads and keep only the number — never student names, IDs, or work.
- Assignments in classes you teachTo create and update the assignments you build in Curator so they appear in Google Classroom.
- Classroom topicsTo file your assignments under their Portrait-of-a-Learner topic inside Classroom.
- Google Drive — files Curator creates or you pick (drive.file)To create your Portrait folders and file shortcuts. This is a per-file permission: Curator can only see files it created or that you explicitly choose. It cannot read the rest of your Drive.
Curator keeps only what it needs to connect you to your Google and organize your work:
- Account recordYour Google account ID, email, name, profile-picture URL, account type (personal or Workspace), and last sign-in time.
- AuthorizationAn encrypted Google refresh token and the list of permissions you granted, so you stay signed in and Curator can act on your behalf without re-asking each time.
- Classroom connectionsThe Google course IDs you connect, with a cached course name, section, and your role (owner or co-teacher).
- Organization metadataWhich assignments you tagged with which Portrait quadrant, the assignments you build through Curator, where you pushed them, and the IDs of the Drive shortcuts we created.
- Activity logA record of actions you take (sign in, connect a class, create or tag an assignment) for security and support.
We do not store student names, student work, grades, rosters, or the contents of your Drive files. Your assignments, folders, and any record we help you build live in your Google account, under your control.
Curatoris a tool for teachers. No student personal information enters our database. When we show a student count, we read your roster size at request time and keep only the number — we discard the rest immediately. Where your school or district is the controller of student data in Google Workspace, that data stays in Google under their and your control.
We use your information solely to provide Curator’s features. We do not sell or rent it, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not use it to train AI models.
We rely on a small set of service providers that process data only to run the service: Google (sign-in and the Classroom/Drive APIs), Vercel (hosting), Neon (our database), and Sentry (error monitoring). We share with them only what each needs to operate.
Curator’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
- Disconnect a classroom from inside Curator to stop it acting on that class. We keep the connection record (marked disconnected) so reconnecting is easy, unless you delete your account.
- Sign out to clear your session. Your Google grant remains until you revoke it.
- Revoke access at any time at your Google account permissions. After that, Curator can no longer reach your Google data.
- Delete your data by emailing us at webs@theintelligenthoodlums.com. We delete your account record and your encrypted token. Anything in your Google (folders, assignments, any Sheet) stays yours — delete it in Google when you like.
Your Google refresh token is encrypted at rest. Connections to our database and to Google are made over TLS. Curatorrequests the narrowest set of Google permissions its features need, and never the scopes that would expose other teachers’ coursework, your full Drive, or Gmail.
Curatoris intended for educators, not for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from students. Student information remains within the school’s or teacher’s own Google Workspace.
We may update this policy as Curatorgrows; we’ll post the new version here and update the effective date above. Questions? Email webs@theintelligenthoodlums.com. Curator is a product of The Intelligent Hoodlums, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.
