At StudyChat, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

Information We Collect

When you use StudyChat, we collect information you provide directly to us, such as your account information (email, username) and the documents you upload. We also collect usage data to improve our service.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to provide and improve StudyChat, process your documents for AI-powered search, communicate with you about your account, and ensure the security of our service.

Document Privacy

Your uploaded documents are stored securely and are only accessible to you. We do not share, sell, or use your document content for any purpose other than providing the service to you. If you use Local AI Mode, your documents are processed entirely on your device and never sent to our servers.

Data Storage & Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data. Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest. You can delete your documents and account data at any time.

Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to help provide StudyChat, including cloud hosting providers and AI services (such as OpenAI for cloud mode). These services have their own privacy policies. When using Local AI Mode, no data is sent to third-party AI providers.

Cookies

We use cookies to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information at any time. You can export your data or close your account through your account settings or by contacting us.
