Privacy Policy

Last updated August 1, 2026

1. Who we are

Studiengine is an AI-powered CBT exam prep platform built for Nigerian students. This policy describes what we collect, why, and how we handle it, in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR).

2. What we collect

Account data: email address, password (hashed), display name (if provided), account creation date.

Usage data: quiz counts, scan counts, session scores, feedback you submit anonymously or signed in.

Technical data: browser fingerprint (for guest accounts), device type, IP address (transient, for rate limiting), OS, language.

Payment data: we never see card numbers or bank details — those go directly to Paystack. We store Paystack reference, amount, plan, and expiry on your account.

Uploaded content: notes, PDFs, and past questions you provide so we can generate practice materials.

3. How we use it

- Provide and improve the service - Enforce daily usage limits and premium access - Process payments via Paystack - Send transactional emails (payment confirmations, account alerts — not marketing unless you opt in) - Provide AI-generated practice questions and explanations

4. How we share it

We do not sell your data. We share only with the third parties that run the service: - Firebase (Google): authentication and database - Paystack: payment processing - Groq / Cerebras / Google Gemini: AI inference (we send only the content needed to answer, not your identity) - Brevo: transactional email - Vercel: hosting We never share your uploaded study materials with third-party AI providers beyond what's needed to process them for you.

5. Cookies and local storage

We use local storage for your theme preference, notification read state, and guest session tracking. We do not use advertising trackers. Our chatbot (powered by Xeelaa) stores its conversation history locally on your device.

6. Data retention

Your account data persists until you delete it. Guest accounts are automatically deleted after 14 days of no activity. You may request deletion of your data at any time via the feedback button or email us.

7. Your rights (NDPR)

You have the right to access your data, correct it, or request deletion. Email us at the address below and we'll respond within 30 days.

8. Children's use

Studiengine is not directed at children under 13. If a parent or guardian believes their child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. Security

We use industry-standard encryption (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and server-side verification for sensitive operations. However, no system is perfectly secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes

We may update this policy; material changes will be notified in-app 7 days before taking effect.
