StudyBetter Privacy Policy | dionysus.design

The Short Version
We built StudyBetter to help you remember what you learn, not to sell your data. We collect what we need to make the app work, keep your notes secure, and improve your experience. We don't sell your information to anyone.

The Longer Version

Cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in and remember your preferences

How We Share Your Information
We don't sell your data. Period.
We only share your information in these limited situations:

Service Providers: We work with trusted companies that help us operate StudyBetter (like hosting providers, payment processors, and email services). They only access what they need to do their job and are contractually required to protect your data.
Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or government regulation.
Business Transfers: If StudyBetter is acquired or merged, your data would transfer to the new owner (but this policy would still apply).
With Your Consent: If you explicitly agree to share your information in other ways.

Your Study Notes and Content
Your notes, tasting entries, and saved knowledge are yours. We store them securely to provide the service, but we don't read them, analyze them for advertising, or share them with anyone else (except as required to provide technical support if you request it).
Data Security
We take security seriously:

All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text
We use industry-standard security practices
Regular security audits and updates
Secure server infrastructure

That said, no system is 100% secure. We do our best, but we can't guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to:

Correct Your Data: Edit or update your account information
Delete Your Data: Request deletion of your account and associated data
Opt-Out of Marketing: Unsubscribe from promotional emails (you'll still get important account-related emails)

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@dionysus.design

Data Retention
We keep your data as long as your account is active. If you delete your account:

Your study notes and personal data are deleted within 30 days
Some information may be retained for legal or security purposes
Anonymized usage data may be retained for analytics

Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies to:

Keep you logged in
Remember your preferences

Improve performance

You can control cookies through your browser settings, but some features may not work if you disable them.

Third-Party Services
StudyBetter may integrate with or link to third-party services (like payment processors). Those services have their own privacy policies, and we're not responsible for their practices.

International Users
StudyBetter is operated from India. If you're accessing from outside this region, your data may be transferred and stored here. By using StudyBetter, you consent to this transfer.

Children's Privacy
StudyBetter is not intended for users under 18 years old. If you're a parent and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We'll notify you of significant changes via email or through the app. Continued use of StudyBetter after changes means you accept the updated policy.

Your Data, Your Control
At the end of the day, StudyBetter exists to help you learn and remember. We're not in the business of exploiting your data—we're in the business of making sure you never forget where you put your notes again (literally and figuratively).
