Privacy Policy

My Study Buddy App is operated by Robert Russell, 105 Banks Station #1281, Fayetteville, GA 30214, United States. Find us at my-study-buddy-app.com. Privacy questions go to mystudybuddyappsupport@gmail.com. You can also reach us by phone at 470-980-4658.

From you, the parent: your email address, your password (stored only in hashed form), your parent code, and your record of agreeing to these documents, including the date, version, IP address and browser.

About your child: only what you enter — a first name or nickname, grade level, curriculum names, and weekly topics you type or photograph. As your child uses the app, we also keep their practice activity: the questions they attempt, the multiple-choice answers they select, scores, concepts they find difficult, reading-log entries (book titles, authors and quiz scores), and in-app rewards such as points, coins and companion choices. Your child signs in with an access code you generate. We never ask a child for an email address, password, age, or any contact information, and we do not record audio: the read-aloud feature uses your device's built-in speech tool, so no voice data reaches us.

Photos you upload: a handout or teacher-note image is sent securely to our AI provider to identify the week's topics and then discarded. We do not save it in our database or file storage.

Payment details: handled entirely by our payment processor, Stripe. We never see or store your card number; we keep a customer and subscription reference so we know your plan status.

Technical data: basic logs and error reports needed to keep the app running and secure. Your child's sign-in session uses a token only to keep them signed in and to save their progress. We do not use third-party advertising trackers, tracking cookies, social media widgets, or cross-site analytics.

To create practice, lessons and quizzes for your child; to show you how they are doing; to run your subscription; to answer your support messages; and to keep the service secure and working. We do not sell personal information, we do not share it with advertisers, and we do not show ads.

Only a parent or guardian can create an account and add a child. A child signs in with a code you give them and can only see their own practice. Before we collect information from or about a child, we email the parent a notice and consent link. The profile stays inactive until the link is confirmed, then we send a confirmation email explaining how to withdraw consent. We do not disclose your child's personal information to third parties; we share it only with the service providers listed below, which process it solely on our instructions to operate the app. You may review the information we have collected about your child, direct us to delete it, and refuse to permit further collection, at any time, as described below; doing so may limit or end your child's ability to use the Service. We collect the minimum needed to generate age-appropriate work, we do not use children's information for advertising or profiling, and we do not disclose it to third parties except the service providers listed below who help run the app.

We do not use your child's information, or anything you upload on your child's behalf, to train or improve artificial intelligence models.

You can review, correct or delete everything about your child at any time by removing the child's profile in the app, or by emailing mystudybuddyappsupport@gmail.com.

Hosting and database: Lovable Cloud (built on Supabase), with data stored in the United States. Payments: Stripe. Content generation: OpenAI and Google (Gemini), through the Lovable AI gateway. The AI providers receive only academic information needed to create practice, such as grade, subject, topic, book title or an uploaded handout—not the child's name, parent email, account information or billing information. These providers act on our instructions and are not permitted to use your family's data for their own purposes, including training their AI models.

We keep your data while your account is open. Detailed practice answers and scores are automatically deleted after 12 months while summary progress remains. If a trial or subscription has been inactive for more than six months, we delete child profiles and practice history. Deleting a child deletes their associated practice history. Account closure requests are completed within 30 days, except records required for tax or legal reasons, such as payment receipts and consent records.

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is restricted per family at the database level, and passwords and children's codes are stored securely. No system is perfect, but we take this seriously and will notify you promptly if a breach affects your data.

You can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email mystudybuddyappsupport@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state privacy laws, including the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them.

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we will ask you to accept the new version the next time you sign in, and we will record that acceptance.
