TRUSTED AI COMPANION

Study Buddy Privacy

Last Updated: January 18, 2026

1. Our Commitment

At Universal Study Buddy, we believe your data is yours. We prioritize absolute transparency and security in every AI-powered summary we generate.

2. Data Collection & Processing

Website Content: When you trigger the extension, text and image data are sent directly to Google's Gemini-2.5-Flash API via a secure connection. We do NOT store your browsing data or analysis results on our servers.

Personal Info: We securely store your email through Stripe for subscription verification. We never sell, rent, or share your identity with third parties.

3. Local-First Security

Your Gemini API Key and your curated Study Notes are stored exclusively on your device using chrome.storage.local. We never have access to your private keys.

4. Third-Party Partners

Our infrastructure relies on trusted global leaders: Google (AI Analysis), Stripe (Payment Processing), and Cloudflare (Backend Infrastructure). Each partner adheres to the highest industry standards for data protection.
