Studi Privacy Policy

Overview

Studi helps UW-Madison students find study partners, coordinate study sessions, and browse campus study locations. We collect only the information needed to provide those features. Studi does not sell personal information and does not use third-party advertising or cross-app tracking.

Information We Collect

• Account information, including email address, display name, and sign-in provider details.
• Profile information you choose to add, including your display name and classes.
• Study activity you create in the app, including sessions, session participation, messages, reports, blocks, and study location ratings.
• Analytics and usage information, such as app opens, screen interactions, feature usage, engagement metrics, and diagnostic or crash-related data.
• Technical data needed to operate the app, such as authentication state, timestamps, Firebase service logs, and device push identifiers or push notification tokens if you enable notifications.

How We Use Information

• Create and secure your account.
• Show study sessions relevant to your classes.
• Show sessions, messages, location ratings, and profile details to the people who need them for app features.
• Send account, message, session, and app-related notifications if you enable notifications.
• Investigate reports, prevent abuse, debug issues, and keep the service reliable.

Campus Locations and Maps

Studi displays campus study locations and map-based study spot data so students can find places to study. Studi does not continuously track or store precise background location. If precise device location is added later, Studi will request permission through your device settings.

Sharing and Service Providers

Studi uses Firebase services from Google for authentication and cloud data storage. Studi uses PostHog for product analytics and usage insights. Analytics are used to improve app performance, usability, reliability, and feature quality.

Push notification support may use Expo Push Service. Data is shared with service providers only as needed to operate Studi. Studi does not use third-party advertising or cross-app tracking, and we do not share personal information with advertising networks or data brokers.

Retention and Deletion

Account and profile data is retained while your account is active. If you delete your account from Profile, Studi removes your account data from the app database and deletes the Firebase Authentication account. Some limited records may be retained if required for security, abuse prevention, or legal reasons.

Your Choices

• You can edit your display name and classes from Profile.
• You can delete your account from Profile > Account actions > Delete Account.
• You can control notifications through your device settings.
• You can contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or consent withdrawal help.

Children and Sensitive Data

Studi is intended for college students and is not directed to children under 13. Studi does not request HealthKit data, continuous precise background location tracking, payment card information, or government identifiers.
