Web5u Privacy Policy Effective September 25, 2026

Web5u is an add-on browser extension, developed by Connor Mausolf, that helps Western Washington University students plan their class schedule in the Web4U class registration window. It is a student project made to improve accessibility and functionality; it is not officially affiliated with WWU.

Given that Web4U is privy to sensitive personal information, a data privacy statement is necessary. In short, Web5u keeps everything on your computer. It has no backend servers, no accounts, no analytics, and it never sends your data anywhere. I—the developer—not only have no interest in your personal data, but it is literally impossible for me to view or collect anything via this extension. I simply want to help fellow students.

What Web5u reads:

Web5u only runs on WWU's registration pages (registration.banner.wwu.edu). While you use them, it reads:

  1. Class search results: course titles, section times, rooms, instructors, seat counts, and GUR attributes.
  2. Your registered classes, as shown on Web4U's schedule, so they appear in the planner.
  3. Web4U's responses when you use "Add Plan to Web4U," so it can show you which classes were accepted.

It does not read your name, student ID, email, password, grades, or financial information.

Data Stoarage:

  1. Courses you add to the planner, the sections you keep, and your Plan A, B, and C choices.
  2. Your panel preferences, such as which tab was last open.

This is stored in your browser using Chrome's local extension storage. Your registered classes are kept in memory only while the page is open and are never saved.

What Web5u sends:

Nothing. Web5u makes no network requests of its own and has no server to send data to. It does not use analytics, cookies, advertising, or tracking of any kind.

What Web5u does for you:

  1. "Copy CRNs" copies CRNs to your clipboard.
  2. "Add Plan to Web4U" types CRNs into Web4U's Enter CRNs form and presses Add to Summary. It never presses Submit.
  3. "Download calendar file" creates a .ics file on your computer. It goes nowhere unless you import it into a calendar app yourself.

If any changes are made to the privacy policy, this page will be updated with a new effective date.
