Derived data and internal calculations

StuBalance generates derived information from the data you submit, including weekly scores, category breakdowns, reason codes, recap summaries, and suggestion content. This derived information is used to operate the service and present progress and insight features inside the app.

How we share information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us host and operate StuBalance, deliver password reset emails, send push notifications, and maintain infrastructure. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or similar business transaction.

Data retention

We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal requirements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and how it is used.

Your choices and rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export certain personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You may manage notification permissions through your device settings, and the app also supports account deletion. To make a privacy request.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

What we do not currently claim to collect

StuBalance does not describe itself as collecting precise location, payment card data, address book contacts, microphone recordings, or advertising profile data as part of the current product flow. If the product changes materially, this policy should be updated before release.

Children's privacy

StuBalance is intended for students, adult learners, and similar users, and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

International data transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than where you live. Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards for cross-border data transfers.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice through the app, website, or email. The updated version will be identified by its revised effective date.
