What Termloft keeps, and why.
Termloft is a college planner started by one Purdue student. This page says, in plain words, what it stores, who else sees any of it, and how to take it all with you or delete it.
Last updated September 22, 2026
The short version
- Termloft keeps what you put into it so your workspace works. That is all it is used for.
- No ads, no analytics, no tracking scripts. Your data is never sold or shared for advertising.
- Some documents you ask Termloft to read, like a syllabus, are sent to an AI service to be read.
- You can download everything or delete your account yourself, any time.
What Termloft keeps
Your account
Your name. If you sign in with Google, your Google email address and Google account ID. If you use a passkey, the public half of the key and the device name you give it; the private half never leaves your device.
Your schedule and plans
Your school, term dates, classes, rooms, instructors, notes, deadlines, and degree plan.
Syllabi
Your browser turns a syllabus PDF into text before anything is uploaded. Termloft saves what it reads out of it (dates, grading, instructors, textbooks) and the file’s name. The file itself is not kept.
Calendar feeds and Canvas
If you add a Canvas, Brightspace, or other calendar feed, Termloft saves its address so it can sync again later. That address works like a password for your school calendar, so keep it private. If you import with a Canvas access token instead, the token is used once for that import and is not saved.
Lectures and recordings
Transcripts, cleaned notes, and any recordings you choose to save to the cloud (currently up to 50 MB per account). Transcription runs on your own device: your audio is not uploaded to be transcribed. Recordings you save are private to your account.
Who else sees it
Cloudflare
Termloft runs on Cloudflare, which stores the database and saved recordings. Cloudflare also keeps request logs, which include the addresses of the pages you open.
Google, when you sign in with it
Termloft asks Google only for your name, email address, and account ID. It never sees your Google password and gets no access to your Gmail, Drive, or anything else.
AI reading services
When you ask Termloft to read something, the text goes to free AI models through OpenRouter, with Google’s Gemini as a backup. That covers syllabi and registration documents, the details you give when drafting a degree plan (school, program, courses), and lecture transcripts when you ask for notes. Your name and email are not attached. These free services may keep what they receive and use it to improve their models, so leave out anything you would not want them to read.
Your school
When you import from Canvas or sync a calendar feed, Termloft contacts your school’s system on your behalf to fetch your courses and deadlines.
Services your browser loads
Campus maps load tiles from OpenStreetMap. The first time you transcribe, the speech model downloads from Hugging Face and its runtime from jsDelivr. Like any website, these see your IP address.
Cookies and browser storage
One cookie keeps you signed in for up to 30 days, and a second lasts five minutes while you sign in. Recordings you have not saved to the cloud stay in your browser’s own storage, and the speech model is cached there so it downloads once. Nothing else is stored in your browser.
Taking it with you, or deleting it
Open your account, then Account settings. Download a copy saves everything Termloft holds for you as one file. Delete this account removes your profile, schedule, plan, deadlines, feeds, lectures, transcripts, recordings, and passkeys.
A few traces outlast a deletion for a while: Cloudflare’s own logs and backups expire on Cloudflare’s schedule, and short-lived sign-in records clear themselves within minutes. If your workspace was set up for you before accounts existed, email the address below and it will be deleted for you.
Who Termloft is for
Termloft is made for college students and is not meant for anyone under 13.
