How We Use Your Information

Your information is used to:

• Provide core app functionality (managing courses, assignments, schedules, and grades)
• Sync your data across your Apple devices when signed in
• Send notifications about upcoming deadlines and scheduled events
• Process and manage your subscription
• Diagnose technical issues and improve app stability
• Analyze usage patterns to improve features (using anonymized data)

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored locally on your device for offline access and synced to secure cloud servers when you sign in. We implement industry-standard security measures:

• Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and our servers uses TLS encryption
• Encryption at Rest: Stored data is encrypted on our servers
• Row-Level Security: Database policies ensure you can only access your own data
• Secure Authentication: Passwords are never stored—we use secure token-based authentication

Third-Party Services

We use carefully selected third-party services to operate the App:

Analytics

We use a privacy-focused analytics service to collect anonymized usage statistics. This helps us understand which features are used and how to improve the app. Our analytics provider does not collect personally identifiable information.

Error Reporting

We use an error reporting service to detect and diagnose app crashes and errors. When an error occurs, this service may collect:

• Device information (model, OS version)
• App state and error details
• Session replay data (screen interactions leading to the error)
• Screenshots at the time of error

This information helps us quickly identify and fix issues to improve your experience.

Subscription Management

We use a subscription management service to handle in-app purchases. This service processes subscription events from Apple and communicates subscription status to our servers. They do not have access to your academic data.

Cloud Infrastructure

Your data is stored on secure cloud servers that comply with industry security standards. All data is encrypted and access is strictly controlled.

Educational Records

StudyKit stores educational information including grades and academic schedules. While we are not an educational institution subject to FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), we treat your academic data with the same level of care:

• Your grades and academic records are private to you
• We do not share your academic data with schools, employers, or other third parties
• You maintain full control over your educational information

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access: View all your personal data within the app
• Portability: Export your data at any time
• Deletion: Delete your account and all associated data
• Correction: Update or correct your information at any time
• Withdraw Consent: Disable cloud sync, revoke device permissions, or opt-out of analytics

To exercise these rights, use the in-app settings or contact us at the email below.

Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account:

• Your personal data is deleted from our servers within 30 days
• Anonymized analytics data may be retained for statistical purposes
• Backup copies are purged according to our retention schedule (up to 90 days)

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information without parental consent, please contact us immediately.

International Users

Your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using the App, you consent to this transfer. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for international data transfers.

California Privacy Rights

• Right to know what personal information is collected
• Right to delete personal information
• Right to opt-out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell your data)
• Right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights
