Data and security
What timetable information MySched needs, what you must not send, and how upload links are protected.
The school flow is for timetables you already publish. It is not a student records system, and we do not want student records in it.
What we need
The school name, the term, the courses and sections, the days and times each class meets, the rooms, and the instructor names. We also keep the contact details of the person we are working with, and a note of when each file was sent, so we can run the partnership.
What you must not send
- student names, student numbers, emails, or phone numbers;
- grades, attendance, discipline, financial, or health records;
- passwords, or any export from your portal that contains logins; or
- any document wider than the class timetable.
If a file goes out with student information in it by mistake, email support@getmysched.com straight away and tell us the school and the file name. Do not paste the private upload link into that message, or into any group chat.
How the upload link is protected
- Your upload link contains a long random code that only goes to your named contact.
- We do not keep a readable copy of that code, only a scrambled version we can check against.
- The link works once. After it is used, or after it expires, it stops working.
- We check the size and type of every file before accepting it.
- Timetable files go into private storage. They are not on the public web, and there is no address anyone can guess.
- The upload page in your browser is never given the keys that would let it read anything else.
How preview links are protected
Preview and confirmation links work the same way, and they show only the submission being reviewed. Nothing else in our system is readable from them.
We also ask search engines not to list these pages. That is good practice, but the secret in the link is what actually protects it, not the search engine request. Treat the link like a password and forward it only to people who are meant to review it.
What students can and cannot see
Publishing a timetable makes the class meeting times available to students who pick that school, term, and section. It does not give your school any access to a student's MySched account or their personal records.
Tasks, attendance, grades, notes, exams, reminders, and app settings all sit outside the school flow entirely. Our Privacy Policy covers the app and website in full.
Staying in control
Your school owns its timetable information. You can ask us to correct it, replace it, take it down, or end the partnership at any time. We check any such request with your named contact before we act on it.
