Client-Side Local Storage & Zero Student Data Collection
Texas Schools operates on a privacy-first, zero-tracking architecture. All interactive district comparisons, saved academic calendar dates, and calculator scratchpads execute client-side via browser LocalStorage without storing personally identifiable information or transmitting student data to third-party ad networks.
Unlike educational portals that monetize user behavior through intrusive data brokering or tracking pixels, Texas Schools was engineered under a strict zero-data-retention philosophy. We do not require account registration, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses to access any directory feature, search utility, or calculator.
When you use our interactive comparison tools or adjust bell schedules in the TEC §25.081 minutes calculator, all state variables are processed ephemerally within your web browser's memory sandbox. Any persistent preferences (such as selected districts or saved campus pins) are retained solely within your local browser's localStorage container. This data never traverses our edge servers and is instantly wiped whenever you clear your browser cache.
