🔒 Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 14, 2026

At SkolarHub.app ("we", "us", "our"), we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website, tools, and services (collectively, the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal personal information to provide and improve our Service:

• Account Information: If you create an account, we may collect your email address and a hashed password.
• Usage Data: We automatically collect certain information when you use our Service, such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent, and referring URLs. This helps us understand how users interact with our tools.
• AI Tool Inputs: When you use our AI quiz generator, study planner, or other AI tools, we temporarily process the text or data you submit to generate responses. This data is not stored after processing unless necessary for service improvement (anonymized).
• Cookies & Similar Technologies: We use essential cookies to remember your preferences (e.g., dark/light mode) and non-essential cookies (with your consent) for analytics (e.g., Google Analytics).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain our Service
• Improve, personalize, and expand our tools
• Understand and analyze how you use our Service
• Develop new features and functionality
• Communicate with you (e.g., service updates, security notices)
• Prevent fraud and abuse

3. AI & Third-Party Services

Our AI tools (quiz generation, study planning) are powered by Google Gemini API. When you submit content to these tools, that content may be sent to Google's servers for processing. Google's processing is governed by their own privacy policy. We do not store the content you submit beyond the duration needed to generate the response, unless you explicitly save it within your account.

We use Vercel to host our website and API. Vercel may collect standard server logs. Their privacy policy applies to their handling of data.

4. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. Usage data and anonymized analytics may be retained longer for statistical purposes. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to:

• Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality (e.g., keeping you logged in, remembering theme preference).
• Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand traffic and usage patterns. These cookies collect anonymized data.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features.

6. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: With third-party vendors who help us operate our Service (e.g., Vercel, Google). They are contractually obligated to protect your data.
• Legal Compliance: If required by law or in response to valid legal process (e.g., court order, subpoena).
• Protection of Rights: To enforce our Terms & Conditions or protect the security of SkolarHub and its users.

7. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR for European users, CCPA for California residents), you may have the right to:

• Access – Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction – Request that we correct inaccurate information.
• Deletion – Request that we delete your personal data.
• Restriction – Request that we limit processing of your data.
• Portability – Request a machine-readable copy of your data.
• Object – Object to certain processing (e.g., direct marketing).

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@skolarhub.app. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Children's Privacy

SkolarHub is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, please contact us, and we will delete it.

9. International Data Transfers

Our servers and third-party services (e.g., Google, Vercel) may be located outside your country of residence. By using SkolarHub, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries that may have different data protection laws than your own.

10. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version at this URL with a new "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of SkolarHub after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
