★ Question: Is my login information stored securely?
★ Answer: Yes, your login information is stored securely in your browser. It cannot be accessed by any other website or extension. In order to avoid plaintext storage, your credentials are encrypted. However, should a malicious individual gain physical access to your computer, this data could be extracted and decrypted. It should be noted that this method is more secure than Chrome's default password storage functionality.

★ Answer: Your course links are saved anonymously server-side. None of your personal information will ever be touched.
