How does the app access my data?

To communicate with the university servers, we use the official THI API, which is also used by the official app. This ensures that your data is always transmitted securely. All communication is done only between your device and the university servers and is not routed through our servers.

What happens to my login credentials?

To access your data, you need to log in with your THI credentials. Your credentials are stored securely on your device and are not shared with us or any third parties.

On iOS, your credentials are stored in the secure keychain, and on Android, they are encrypted with the Android Keystore. This allows you to access your data without having to log in every time.

Are you affiliated with the THI?
