StudyHubs
Privacy Policy

Your data, handled the way we'd want ours handled.

Plain language first. Legal language too, but plain language first.

Last updated September 1, 2026

Overview

This policy explains what information StudyHubs collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. We built StudyHubs as teachers and students first — the same instincts that shape our product shape this policy: collect only what's needed, explain it plainly, and never treat student data as a product.

Information we collect

We collect information you give us directly, information created as you use StudyHubs, and a small amount of technical information needed to keep the service running.

  • Account information — name, email, school or organization, and role (student or teacher).
  • Content you create — notes, flashcards, assignments, lesson plans, and messages to our AI tutor.
  • Usage information — study sessions, progress, and feature interactions, used to personalize your experience.
  • Device and log information — browser type, IP address, and timestamps, used for security and troubleshooting.

How we use information

We use the information above to operate and improve StudyHubs, and for essentially nothing else.

  • To provide core features — the AI tutor, study planner, flashcards, lesson builder, and grading assistant.
  • To personalize study plans and recommendations based on your own history, not anyone else's.
  • To keep the service secure and to detect abuse or unauthorized access.
  • To communicate with you about your account, changes to our service, or a support request you sent us.

Student data in classrooms

When StudyHubs is used through a school or teacher-managed classroom, the school or teacher acts as the data controller for that student's account, consistent with FERPA and similar education privacy laws. We process that data only to provide the service the school has asked for.

We do not use student data to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell student data — full stop.

How information is shared

We share information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • With service providers who help us run StudyHubs (hosting, email delivery, analytics), under contracts that limit what they can do with it.
  • With a school or district, when a student's account is managed by that institution.
  • When required by law, or to protect the safety of our users or the public.
  • In connection with a merger or acquisition, with the same privacy commitments carried forward.

We never sell personal information, and we never train general-purpose AI models on private student work without explicit, opt-in consent.

Data retention

We keep information for as long as your account is active, or as long as needed to provide the service. If you or your school deletes an account, we remove associated personal data within a reasonable period, except where we're required to retain it for legal or security reasons.

Your rights and choices

  • Access and export the content associated with your account at any time.
  • Correct inaccurate account information from your settings.
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data.
  • Opt out of non-essential communications from within your account settings.

If your account is managed by a school, some requests may need to go through your school's administrator.

Security

We use encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and regular security reviews to protect the information you trust us with. No system is perfectly secure, and we commit to notifying affected users promptly if that trust is ever broken.

Children's privacy

StudyHubs is designed to be used in a classroom or with parental awareness for younger students. Where required, we obtain consent through the school or a parent/guardian before collecting data from children, in line with COPPA and similar regulations.

Changes to this policy

If we make a material change to this policy, we'll notify account holders by email or an in-product notice before it takes effect. The 'last updated' date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent version.
