1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have. “Personal data” means any information that relates to an identified or identifiable person.

We process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Account and Profile Data

When you create an account, we typically process information such as your email address, login credentials (in hashed form), and any optional profile information you choose to provide.

2.2 Uploaded Content

If you upload study materials (e.g., notes or documents), we process the content you provide in order to deliver the Service (for example, generating learning content). You remain responsible for the content you upload and should not upload sensitive personal data unless it is necessary for your use case.

2.3 Usage and Device Data

When you visit or use StudySprint, we may automatically collect technical data such as IP address, date and time of access, device and browser information, pages viewed, referrer information, and log events (e.g., error logs). This data is used to operate, secure, and improve the Service.

2.4 Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies or similar technologies to provide core functionality (for example, keeping you signed in) and, where applicable, to measure usage or improve the Service. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Where consent is required, we will ask for it before using non-essential cookies.

3. Purposes and Legal Bases

We process personal data for the following purposes and legal bases:

  • Providing the Service (e.g., account access, features, content generation): necessary to perform a contract or take steps prior to entering into a contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).
  • Operating, securing, and improving the platform (e.g., preventing abuse, debugging, performance): legitimate interests (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
  • Billing and payments (where paid features are used): performance of a contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)) and compliance with legal obligations (GDPR Art. 6(1)(c)).
  • Analytics and marketing (only where enabled and where required): consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future.
  • Legal compliance (e.g., responding to lawful requests, enforcing rights): legal obligation (GDPR Art. 6(1)(c)) or legitimate interests (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

4. Sharing Data with Third Parties

We may share personal data with trusted service providers (“processors”) who support the operation of StudySprint, such as:

  • Hosting and infrastructure providers
  • Email and customer support tools
  • Payment providers (for paid subscriptions, where applicable)
  • Analytics tools (only where enabled and, if required, with consent)

These providers are only permitted to process personal data on our instructions and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

We may also disclose data if required by law, court order, or public authorities, or to protect our rights and the safety of users.

5. International Data Transfers

If we transfer personal data to service providers outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will ensure appropriate safeguards, such as an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), where required.

6. Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing the Service, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements.

Account data is generally retained for as long as your account remains active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data, subject to legal retention requirements.

Technical logs are typically retained for a limited period and then deleted or anonymized, unless they are needed for security or incident investigation.

7. Your Rights (GDPR)

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the following rights:

  • Right of access to your personal data
  • Right to rectification (correction) of inaccurate data
  • Right to deletion (“right to be forgotten”), where applicable
  • Right to restriction of processing
  • Right to data portability
  • Right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing
  • Right to withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)

To exercise your rights, contact us at info@study-sprint.app. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

8. Complaints

If you believe that your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In the EU, you may contact the authority in your country of residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.

9. Security

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If you contact us via email, please note that unencrypted email communication may be insecure.

10. Children

StudySprint is not intended for children under 16 without parental consent. If you believe that a child has provided personal data without consent, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page. If changes are significant, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.
