Study Bubble Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 6, 2026
Welcome to Study Bubble! Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information Study Bubble collects, how it is used, how it is stored, and what choices you have regarding your information.
1. Information We Collect
Study Bubble processes certain information to provide account access, support app functionality, and understand how the app is used.
Information You Provide
When you create an account, we process:
Name: Used as the display name on your Firebase Authentication account.
Email address: Used to create and manage your account, sign in, and send password-reset emails.
Password: Processed securely through Firebase Authentication for account creation and login.
Your password confirmation is used within the app to check that both password entries match. It is not separately stored by Study Bubble.
Information Stored on Your Device
Study Bubble stores certain app information locally on your device, including:
Planner task names and dates.
Daily study and focus statistics.
Other information needed to support local app features.
This information is stored using Apple's UserDefaults storage system. Planner tasks and study statistics are currently stored locally rather than synchronized to a Firestore database. This information may remain on the device independently of individual Study Bubble accounts.
Automatically Processed Information
Study Bubble uses Firebase Analytics to understand app usage and improve the app.
Analytics events may include:
Account creation.
Successful login.
Study timer activity.
Other app interactions where analytics events are implemented.
Firebase Analytics may also automatically process technical information, depending on its configuration. This may include:
App-instance identifiers.
Device information.
App usage and interaction information.
Approximate geographic information derived from IP addresses.
Diagnostic information.
2. How We Use Your Information
Information processed through Study Bubble is used to:
Create and manage user accounts.
Allow users to log in and out.
Support password-reset requests.
Provide planner, timer, and study-tracking functionality.
Understand app usage and improve Study Bubble.
Support app performance and reliability.
We do not publicly display your account identity to other users.
3. How Your Information Is Stored
Firebase Authentication
Firebase Authentication processes account information, including your name, email address, and password, to support account registration and login.
Firebase Analytics
Firebase Analytics processes app usage events and related technical information to help us understand how Study Bubble is used.
Local Device Storage
Planner tasks and study statistics are stored locally on your device using Apple's UserDefaults storage system.
Study Bubble does not currently use Firestore to synchronize planner tasks or study statistics.
4. Third-Party Services
Study Bubble uses services provided by Google Firebase, including:
Firebase Authentication.
Firebase Analytics.
Google Firebase may process information on our behalf to provide these services. Information may also be processed according to Google's applicable privacy practices.
For more information, please review:
Study Bubble does not sell users' personal information.
5. Data Sharing and Advertising
Study Bubble does not make users' account information publicly available to other users.
Information may be processed by Google Firebase to provide authentication and analytics functionality.
Study Bubble does not use personal information for targeted advertising or cross-app tracking.
6. Account Deletion and Data Removal
Users can delete their accounts through the account settings within Study Bubble.
To protect account security, Firebase Authentication may require users to re-enter their password before deleting an account.
After successful account deletion:
The user's Firebase Authentication account is deleted.
Planner tasks stored locally on that device are cleared.
Locally stored study statistics are cleared.
Deleting a Study Bubble account does not necessarily immediately erase information previously processed by third-party services, such as Firebase Analytics. Such information may be retained according to the applicable provider's data-retention policies.
Uninstalling Study Bubble does not automatically delete a Firebase Authentication account.
7. Data Security
We use Firebase Authentication and security features provided by our service providers to help protect account information.
However, no electronic storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users should keep their login credentials private and avoid sharing their passwords.
8. Children's Privacy
Study Bubble is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed toward children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly intend to collect personal information from children under 13 without legally required consent.
If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact us so the situation can be reviewed.
9. Your Privacy Choices
You can:
Update your account information where supported.
Log out through Settings.
Request a password reset through the login screen.
Delete your account through account settings.
Clear locally stored app information using available app features or by removing app data.
You may also review Google's privacy information for details about its handling of Firebase-related data.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as Study Bubble develops or as our data practices change.
Any updates will be reflected in the revised policy, including an updated "Last Updated" date.
We encourage users to review this page periodically.
