The UX Factor is an online grading platform that allows users to anonymously view others' submissions and give their feedback. The goal of this is to allow students to get as much feedback as possible, while still maintaining the anonymity of each submission. In order to quantitatively analyze each students' submission (which allows us to translate feedback into a grade), we ask pointed questions and ask users to determine which submission, given a pair of two submissions, better answers the task of the question. In this way, we can not only give helpful feedback to students based on their peers' responses, but also a quantitative grade that is, ideally, less biased than a grade that would be given solely by one reviewer.
In order to run the script to clone a copy of the UX Factor, this Service must request for the bundled permission to 1) see, edit, create, and delete all your Google Drive files and to 2) view and manage your forms in Google Drive. Although we request these scopes, our code does not actually delete any of your Google Drive files. We only add new data to your drive, in the form of a folder containing all relevant cloned files that this Service has created for the user. While we do modify the new data that we added to set up links between Google Forms and Sheets, the existing data in your Google Drive is neither read nor edited, and we do not collect any personal or identifying information from users. To achieve this cloning, we request several specific Google API scopes, described as follows.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive (Sensitive Scope)
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/forms
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email
For descriptions of each scope, please refer to the Google API. The scopes requested may change from time to time and authorization to use each scope will be granted expressly through the OAuth2 authentication process. Our use of data collected from Google Drive API restricted scopes ("restricted scope data") complies with Google's Limited Use Requirements. Specifically, this means that any restricted scope data:
Is used only for a one-time cloning of a Google Drive folder into the user's Google Drive insofar as it is required for the user to set up their own version of UX Factor
Is not transferred to any other server
Is not used for serving ads, including retargeting, personalized, or interest-based advertising
Is not read by humans unless:
The account owner has given affirmative agreement has been obtained in writing to view specific messages, files, or other data, with the limited exception of use cases approved by Google under additional terms applicable to the Nest Device Access program
It is necessary for security purposes (such as investigating a bug or abuse)
It is necessary to comply with applicable law
The use is limited to internal operations and the data (including derivations) have been aggregated and anonymized
This Service does not address anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 18. In the case we discover that a child under 18 has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we will be able to do necessary actions.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
