# Privacy Policy for Study Expert Guide
Last updated: May 24, 2026
Henaka Thenennahalage Dineth Pehesara ("us", "we", or "our") operates the Study Expert Guide mobile application (the "Service").
This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.
## 1. Information Collection and Use
Study Expert Guide is built as a free utility app. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information or user data to external servers.
* **Local Storage:** All user-generated content, including study notes, exam countdown dates, and item checklists, is stored locally on your device's internal storage or local database. Clearing the app data or uninstalling the app will permanently delete this information.
* **Device Permissions:** The app may request standard device permissions purely to ensure optimal operational performance of features like local countdown timers or notification reminders.
## 2. Third-Party Services
Our app utilizes standard third-party services provided by Google Play Services to manage app distribution and core performance. These external providers may collect information used to identify your device type, operating system version, and basic usage statistics strictly for crash reporting and optimization.

## 3. Security
We value your trust in using our app. Since all data remains entirely on your local device, the security of your stored notes and checklists depends on your device's security settings. We recommend keeping your device updated and secured.
## 4. Children's Privacy
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.
## 5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
