Privacy Policy
Welcome to Studyquell ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. When you visit our website (studyquell.com) and use our services—whether you are a student exploring educational materials or a creator monetizing your knowledge—you trust us with your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains in clear, plain English what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your data.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on Studyquell, express an interest in obtaining information about our products, or participate in activities on the platform.
Account Information: When you sign up, we collect your name, email address, username, and password.
Financial and Payment Data:
- For Learners: If you purchase premium materials or subscribe to a premium membership, we collect necessary payment data to process your transaction securely (handled through trusted third-party payment gateways).
- For Creators: To pay out your CPM earnings, we collect payment withdrawal details (such as bank account or digital wallet information).
Content Data: We collect the educational materials, articles, and updates you upload. Because we manually review all content to ensure it is original (non-AI, non-copyrighted), our team accesses this data during the approval process.
Usage and View Data: To calculate organic views accurately for creator monetization (e.g., tracking the initial 500-1,000 views and subsequent CPM views), we automatically collect data on how users interact with the site. This includes IP addresses, browser types, device information, and pages visited.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect or receive for a variety of legitimate business purposes, including:
- To Facilitate Account Creation and Login: Managing your user profile and keeping your account secure.
- To Manage Content and Monetization: Tracking organic views accurately so we can fairly approve creator monetization and calculate CPM earnings.
- To Process Transactions: Handling payments for premium memberships and premium post purchases, as well as managing payouts to our creators.
- To Enforce Our Terms: Manually reviewing uploaded posts to ensure they meet our strict quality guidelines (no copyright infringement, no AI-generated content).
- To Improve Our Platform: Analyzing usage trends to make Studyquell faster, safer, and more user-friendly for everyone.
- To Communicate With You: Sending you updates, security alerts, and notifications about your content approvals or premium subscriptions.
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal data. We only share your information with third parties in the following situations:
- Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party vendors who perform services for us, such as payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, and hosting services.
- Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.
- Protection of Rights: We may disclose information when we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential policy violations, suspected fraud, or potential threats to the safety of any person.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Studyquell uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to access or store information. We use cookies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and accurately track page views (which is vital for our creators' CPM earnings). You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, but doing so may affect how the website functions.
5. Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from Studyquell is at your own risk.
6. Your Data Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Request that we correct or update any inaccurate data.
- Request that we delete your account and personal data.
- Opt-out of marketing communications.
To exercise any of these rights, you can manage your account settings directly on your dashboard or contact us using the details below.
