Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 24, 2026

1. Information We Collect

StudyMaxx is designed with your privacy in mind. We collect minimal information to provide our service:

  • Study content: Notes, PDFs, documents, images, and other materials you upload are processed to generate flashcards. This content is sent to OpenAI's API for processing only.
  • Study sessions and time tracking: When you use the study features, we track session duration, topics studied, and study goals to help you monitor your learning progress.
  • Exam dates and study plans: If you provide exam dates and create a study plan (premium feature), we store this information to generate a personalized study schedule.
  • Account data: If you create an account (via email or Google OAuth), we store your email address, authentication tokens, profile information, and premium subscription status securely.
  • Payment information: Payments are processed through Stripe. We do not store your credit card information directly—Stripe handles this securely according to PCI-DSS standards.
  • Local storage: Your flashcard sets, preferences, and settings are stored locally in your browser and synced to our server if you have an account.
