Privacy Policy - xpStudy

Last updated: March 15, 2026

Welcome to xpStudy. This Privacy Policy transparently describes how we collect, use, store, and protect your information. By using our application, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect data to provide, personalize, improve, and protect our services:

1.1. Personal Information (Provided by you)

• Account Data: When registering (via Email/Password, Google, or Apple), we collect your Name, Email Address, and Profile Picture to create your identity within the app.

• Generated Content: We collect the study materials you create, including flashcards, summaries, notes, schedules, and exported PDF files.

1.2. Behavior and Study Data

• Session History: We record detailed study sessions, including start/end times, exact duration, subject studied, and focus mode used. This data is used to generate your performance charts and weekly statistics.

• Gamification: We monitor your daily consistency (streak), XP earned, and level for ranking and reward features.

1.3. Feedback and Support

• Reports: When you use the "Report" function or send feedback, we collect the reason for the report and the text details provided, associating them with your User ID for analysis and bug fixing.

1.4. Financial Information

• Purchase History: We use the RevenueCat service to manage Premium subscriptions. We have access to your subscription status, renewals, and purchase history to unlock exclusive features, but we do not process or store your banking or credit card data directly.

1.5. Device and Security Information (Automatic)

• Identifiers: We collect advertising IDs (Google AdMob) and notification tokens (Expo Push Token) to display rewarded ads and send reminders.

• Fraud Prevention and Security: We analyze session metadata (comparing device clock with the server) to detect inconsistencies, prevent reward manipulation (anti-fraud system), and ensure a fair gamification environment.

• Usage and Diagnostic Data: We use Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics to collect anonymous data about how you interact with the app (screens visited, time of use) and automated crash reports (error logs and device model). This helps us identify bugs and improve app stability. Users in certain regions (such as the EEA) can manage consent for this data collection directly through the app settings.

1.6. Media and Files

• Photo Gallery: We request external storage read permission (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) only so you can select and upload images from your gallery to illustrate your summaries. We do not access your camera or microphone directly.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Service Provision: For authentication, cloud backup, and data synchronization across devices.

• Artificial Intelligence: We use Google Gemini technology to process the themes and texts you submit, generating personalized summaries and flashcards. Data sent to the AI is used strictly for generating the requested content.

• App Improvement: We analyze feedback reports and aggregated usage data to fix bugs and moderate content.

• Advertising and Consent: Video ads (AdMob) for free plan users, which may be personalized based on device identifiers. For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, we request prior consent (via a certified CMP platform) for the use of cookies, personalized advertising, and analytics collection. You can manage or revoke this consent at any time in the app settings.

3. Third-Party Sharing

We share strictly necessary data with our infrastructure providers:

• Google (Firebase, Analytics, Crashlytics & Gemini): Database, Authentication, Storage, anonymous usage statistics, crash monitoring, and Generative AI infrastructure.

• Google AdMob: Advertising and Monetization network.

• RevenueCat: Subscription and In-app Purchase management.

• Cloudinary: Hosting and optimization of user-uploaded images.

4. Storage and International Transfer

• Synchronization: Your data may be stored locally on your device (cache) for offline use and is synced with our secure servers once an internet connection is established.

• International Transfer: To ensure high availability and security, our processing servers and databases (Google Cloud) are located in the United States. By using the app, you consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of your data in this location.

5. Your Rights and Data Deletion

• Account Deletion: You can request the deletion of your account and all associated data directly in the app settings or through our web form if you no longer have access to the app.

• Permission Revocation: You can revoke gallery or notification access in your operating system settings at any time.

6. Children's Privacy

Although xpStudy is an educational tool, our services are not specifically directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware of such collection without parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect app improvements. We recommend you review this page regularly to stay aware of any changes.
