Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 August 2026

Information we collect

We collect the details you provide when signing up - name, email, school or institution, role, subjects, modules, and payment information when you subscribe. We also collect study activity such as flashcards created, quiz attempts, classroom participation, and messages sent through the platform.

How we use your data

Your data powers your personalised study plan, AI tutor context, tutor matching, and classroom recommendations. We use it to process payments, send study reminders, and keep the platform secure. We never sell your personal information to third parties.

Tutor verification

Tutors who complete verification share qualifications, identity documents, and banking details. These are reviewed internally and stored securely. Verified information is only used to build trust with students and to process tutor earnings.

Cookies and analytics

We use cookies to remember your theme preference, keep you signed in, and understand how students use StudCon so we can improve the experience. You can disable cookies in your browser, but some features may not work correctly.

Your rights and retention

You can request a copy of your data, correct inaccurate details, or ask us to delete your account at any time. We keep your data only as long as necessary to provide the service or comply with legal obligations.

Security measures

We encrypt data in transit, use secure authentication, and apply strict access controls. Study materials are scanned for malware before they are shared, and reported content is reviewed promptly.
