This Privacy Policy explains how Study Buddy Tools (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you visit studybuddytools.com (the “Site”). We keep it short and plain.
1. Information you enter into our tools
Our tools (such as the GPA calculator, word counter and citation generator) run in your web browser. The grades, text, names, heights, weights and other details you type into a tool are processed on your device and are not sent to or stored on our servers. When you close or refresh the page, that information is gone.
2. Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited and the date and time of your visit. This is used to keep the Site secure and working properly.
We may also use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Site (for example, which tools are most popular). These services use cookies and collect information in aggregated or pseudonymised form.
3. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use cookies to remember your cookie choices, to measure how the Site is used, and to show advertising. You can control cookies through our cookie banner and through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.
4. Advertising and Google AdSense
We may use Google AdSense to show ads on the Site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info or, in Europe, www.youronlinechoices.eu.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland will be asked for consent before personalised advertising cookies are used.
5. Information you send us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use it only to reply to you and to improve the Site, and we delete it when it is no longer needed.
6. How we use information
- To operate, maintain and secure the Site.
- To understand how the Site is used and improve our tools.
- To show advertising that keeps the Site free.
- To respond to your messages.
We do not sell your personal information.
7. Sharing
We share information only with service providers that help us run the Site (such as our hosting, analytics and advertising partners), when required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the Site.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR in the EU, the UK GDPR, or US state laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising. To make a request, email hello@studybuddytools.com. You can also change your cookie choices at any time using the cookie icon on the Site.
9. Children’s privacy
The Site is intended for a general audience of students and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
10. Data retention and security
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above. We use reasonable measures to protect it, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
11. Links to other websites
The Site may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please review their policies.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, and the “Last updated” date above will change.
