How we think about student privacy

Student data should never be a product. Here's exactly what we collect, what we don't, and why.

We started StudyHubs as teachers and a student, not as a data company that happened to land in education. That background shapes a lot of decisions that would otherwise be easy to compromise on.

What we actually collect

We store what's needed to make the product work — your notes, your study history, your submitted assignments — and nothing beyond that. We don't sell data, we don't run ads, and we don't train general-purpose models on private student work without explicit, opt-in consent.

If a privacy policy needs a lawyer to explain what it actually means, it's not really a policy — it's a shield.

We publish a plain-language summary alongside the legal version for exactly that reason. If something in our practices ever stops making sense to explain simply, that's a signal we've drifted from what we set out to build.
