Privacy Policy

We may collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, account information, messages you send through the site, and information you provide when asking for support.

We may also collect information related to your use of the platform, such as exam selections, study progress, saved attempts, quiz responses, scores, and other activity needed to operate the study tools.

Payments are processed through third-party providers such as Stripe. StudyBuddyCST does not store full payment card numbers on its own servers.

We may receive limited payment-related information from payment processors, such as payment status, subscription status, customer identifiers, and transaction identifiers needed to grant access, handle billing support, and maintain records.

We use information to provide and improve the platform, authenticate users, process purchases, grant premium access, maintain attempt history, respond to support requests, prevent misuse, and communicate about accounts or purchases.

We may also use information to analyze feature usage, improve study tools, and troubleshoot platform issues.

StudyBuddyCST uses third-party service providers to operate parts of the platform. These may include Clerk for authentication, Supabase for application data and storage, Stripe for payments, Vercel for hosting and analytics, and chat or customer support tools that may be active on the site.

These providers process information on our behalf or as part of the services they provide to us, subject to their own terms and privacy practices.

We and our service providers may use cookies, local storage, session technologies, and similar tools to keep users signed in, remember preferences, support site functionality, and understand how the platform is used.

We do not sell personal information for money. We may share information with service providers that help us operate the platform, process payments, store data, analyze performance, or provide support.

We may also share information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the platform, maintain records, resolve disputes, meet legal obligations, and preserve user study history where appropriate.

Even after premium access expires, some account and attempt summary information may be retained so users can continue to view high-level performance history.

You may contact us to request account help, billing assistance, or deletion-related questions. Depending on your location, you may also have privacy rights relating to access, correction, deletion, or objection to certain uses of your information.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect personal information. No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security, but we work to reduce risk and limit access appropriately.

StudyBuddyCST is intended for users preparing for teacher certification or related educational use. It is not directed to young children.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material updates, we may revise the effective date and post the updated version on the site.
