The Problem

Achievements get lost in the noise.

A certificate in an email. A photo from a competition. A line in a school portal that disappears next semester. Most students' best work is scattered across a dozen places — or nowhere at all.

📧 Old emails 📸 Camera roll 🗄️ School portals 🧠 Memory

Features

Everything a student needs to track real merit

Built around how achievement actually happens — across categories, school years, and the people who help verify it.

🏆

Achievement tracking

Built-in categories

Academic Honors, Leadership, Athletics, Arts, Music, Volunteering, and Extracurricular — covering the full range of a student's involvement.

Custom categories

Add a category specific to your school or interests, like Religion or Robotics, that resets and updates each new school year.

Real photo & file uploads

Attach the actual certificate, photo, or document to an achievement — not just a filename.

Pin your best work

Pin top achievements so they always surface first on your portfolio and resume.

Volunteer hour tracking

Log community service with an hours field that totals automatically over time.

Timeline view

See everything you've logged in chronological order, filterable by category.

📊

Academics & GPA

Grade tracking

Log individual grade entries by class, separate from achievement-based academic honors.

Cumulative GPA

A running GPA calculated automatically, with a year-by-year breakdown alongside it.

Multiple GPA scales

Supports common scales used across Canada and the U.S., so your number means what it should.

School year rollover

Update your grade and categories each year in a couple of taps — past years stay exactly as they were.

✓

Verification & trust

Invite-based verification

Invite a parent, teacher, coach, or mentor to confirm your work is real.

Category-level permissions

Choose exactly which categories each person can verify — a music teacher doesn't need to confirm athletics.

Two-way invites

Students can invite their circle, or a parent, teacher, or coach can invite a student directly.

Manage access anytime

Review who has access to your portfolio and remove it whenever you choose.

📄

Portfolio output

Print-ready resume

Students under 18 connect a parent or guardian as part of getting started.

You control your data

Delete any achievement, file, or your entire account at any time.

Clear privacy policy

Plain-language explanation of what's collected and who can see it — no fine-print surprises.

How It Works

From first login to a finished application

A simple walkthrough of what actually happens, step by step, inside Merit Track.

Create your profile

Set up your name, school, grade, and school year. This personalizes your portfolio from the very first step.

Connect a parent or guardian

Students under 18 link a parent or legal guardian as part of setup, so a trusted adult is always connected to the account.

Set your strengths and this year's categories

Choose the areas you're most focused on, and add anything specific to this school year — like a custom category for an elective or program.

Log achievements as they happen

Add a title, category, level, and outcome — attach a real photo or document, and pin the ones that matter most.

Invite people to verify your work

Bring in a parent, teacher, coach, or mentor and choose exactly which categories they're trusted to confirm.

Build your portfolio

Generate a print-ready resume or a shareable portfolio link whenever you need it — for a scholarship, an application, or just to see how far you've come.

How your information is stored and used

Last updated: 2026

The short version: Merit Track stores your information securely using Google Firebase, a trusted cloud platform used by apps everywhere. We don't sell your data, we don't show ads, and we don't share it with advertisers or unrelated third parties.

What we collect: your account email, profile details (name, birthdate, grade, school, school year, country/region, career goals), the achievements, grades, and files you choose to log or upload, and basic info about people you invite (name, email, relationship) so connections can be set up.

Where it's stored: securely, using Google Firebase's infrastructure. We don't run our own separate servers — your data lives in Google's secure cloud, protected by encrypted connections and authenticated access.

Who can see it: you always control your own portfolio. People you specifically invite (a parent, teacher, coach, mentor, or admissions representative) can see what you choose to share, only after you generate and send them an invite code — and you can remove their access at any time in Settings.

Can the app's creator see it? Yes. As the operator of Merit Track, we have administrative access to the data stored in our systems, the same way any app's developer can access their own database. We only access it to run, maintain, support, and secure the app — never to sell it, advertise with it, or share it with outside companies.

Your choices: you can edit or delete any achievement, grade entry, photo/file, or profile detail at any time. You can remove anyone's access to your portfolio whenever you want. You can permanently delete your entire account and all associated data yourself at any time from Settings — or contact us at itshandledbye@gmail.com for help.

Minors and this app: Merit Track is intended for users 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that an account belongs to a child under 13, we will close the account and delete all associated data promptly.

For users between 13 and 17, we require that a parent or legal guardian be linked to the student's account as part of setup. The parent or guardian receives access to the student's portfolio and must provide explicit consent before the student can complete registration. This consent is recorded with a timestamp tied to the linked account.

What we collect from minor users is limited to what is necessary to provide the service: profile details, achievements and activities the student logs, uploaded files, and basic information about invited contacts. We do not use minors' data for advertising, behavioural tracking, or any purpose beyond running and improving the app.

Parents' and guardians' rights. If you are a parent or legal guardian and have concerns about your child's account, data, or use of the app, you may request to review, correct, or delete the personal information associated with your child's account by contacting us at itshandledbye@gmail.com. We will respond promptly.

Security: we use industry-standard practices (encrypted connections, authenticated access) to protect your information. No system is 100% secure, but we don't take shortcuts with your data.

Changes: if this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date above and, where appropriate, ask you to re-confirm consent.

Contact: questions about your data or this policy? Reach us at itshandledbye@gmail.com.

Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026

1. Agreement to Terms
By creating an account or using Merit Track, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you are between 13 and 17 years of age, your parent or legal guardian must also be linked to your account as part of setup. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

2. Who Can Use Merit Track
Merit Track is intended for users 13 years of age and older. Users between 13 and 17 must be invited by, and linked to, a parent or legal guardian before completing account setup. We do not knowingly allow use by anyone under 13. If we discover an account belongs to someone under 13, we will close it and delete the associated data.

3. Your Account
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity that happens under your account. Notify us immediately at itshandledbye@gmail.com if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

4. Your Content
You own the achievements, grades, photos, documents, and other content you upload to Merit Track ("Your Content"). By uploading it, you grant us permission to store and display it to you and to anyone you have granted access, solely to operate the app. We do not claim ownership of Your Content, and we do not use it for advertising or sell it to third parties.

You are responsible for ensuring Your Content is accurate and that you have the right to upload it.

5. Verification
Verification badges (such as "Parent-verified," "Teacher-verified," or "Coach-verified") are optional. They reflect that a specific invited individual confirmed an achievement within Merit Track. Merit Track does not independently confirm the accuracy of any achievement, verified or not. Verification is a feature of the platform, not a guarantee of accuracy.

6. Parental and Guardian Consent for Minors
A parent or legal guardian who invites and links to a minor's account confirms that they are the parent or legal guardian of that minor, that they consent to the minor's use of Merit Track, and that they accept responsibility for the minor's use of the app. By checking the consent box when generating an invite code for a minor, the parent or guardian agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Merit Track and its creator from claims arising from the minor's use of the app, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Parents and guardians may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their child's data at any time by contacting itshandledbye@gmail.com.

7. Acceptable Use
You agree to use Merit Track honestly and respectfully. See our Acceptable Use Policy — by using the app, you agree to follow it.

8. Account Suspension or Termination
We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law, or that we reasonably believe is being used to harm others or misuse the platform. We will generally try to give notice where practical, but reserve the right to act immediately in serious cases, such as where a child's safety may be at risk.

You may delete your own account and all associated data at any time from Settings in the app.

9. No Warranty
Merit Track is provided "as is." We work to keep it reliable and secure, but we do not guarantee it will be available, uninterrupted, or error-free at all times. We are not responsible for decisions made by schools, scholarship committees, universities, or colleges based on information in your Merit Track profile.

10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Merit Track and its creator are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the amount, if any, you have paid us in the prior 12 months. Since Merit Track is free, that amount will generally be $0.

11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a meaningful change, we will update the date above. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of Merit Track shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario.

13. Contact
