# Privacy Policy - Study Flow
Last Updated: May 17, 2026
Technour ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Study Flow mobile application (the "App"). We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users ("you," "your," or "student").
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data and protect your privacy when you use Study Flow. By installing and using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

## 1. Information We Collect and How We Use It
### A. Local User Data (Your Studies)
What Data: All courses, class schedules, tasks, assignments, GPAs, reminders, and profile names you create or configure in the App.
Storage and Handling: This data is stored 100% locally and securely on your own device using offline local storage (`SharedPreferences`). We do not host external databases, and we never collect, transmit, upload, or sell your academic planner or GPA data to our servers or any third parties.
### B. Push Notifications
What Data: Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) anonymous registration tokens.
Storage and Handling: These tokens are used solely to deliver notifications (like exam, task, and timetable reminders) directly to your device. They contain no personally identifiable information and are processed anonymously.

## 2. Third-Party Service Providers
To support the app's free educational services and deliver features, the App integrates standard third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs). These third parties may collect anonymous data as governed by their respective privacy policies:
Google Mobile Ads (AdMob)
Purpose: Serves standard banner advertisements inside the app.
Data Processed: May collect anonymous mobile advertising identifiers (such as Google AD ID), IP addresses, basic device information, and performance/interaction telemetry.
Policy URL: [Google AdMob Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)
Firebase Services (Cloud Messaging & Analytics)
Purpose: Manages and transmits system alerts and push notifications.
Data Processed: Collects FCM registration tokens, app launches, and basic anonymous performance statistics.

## 3. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Study Flow is a student planner app designed for all ages, including minor students in primary, secondary, and higher education.
We do not knowingly collect, store, or ask for personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.
All student profile configurations (like your customized student name) are stored 100% locally on your device and are never transmitted to us, fully complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and GDPR requirements.

## 4. Permissions We Request
To deliver core planning and scheduling services, the App requests standard system permissions:
Notification Permission: Required to trigger exam and task reminders.
Internet Permission: Required solely to fetch standard banner advertisements from Google AdMob and synchronize notification delivery.
---
## 5. Your Rights and Data Erasure
Because all your data is stored offline on your device, you have complete and absolute control over your information:
To Edit/Delete Data: You can modify or delete your classes, GPAs, and tasks directly within the App.
To Wipe All Data: Simply clear the App's storage cache in your Android settings, or uninstall the App. This will permanently erase all local databases, profiles, and configuration histories instantly.

## 6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.
