This Privacy Policy explains how Studex Portal (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website, products, and services (collectively, the “Services”).
1. Information We Collect
- Account Data: name, username, email address, profile details (e.g., LinkedIn/GitHub/Instagram links), organization, location, and optional bio.
- Authentication: when you sign in with Google or GitHub, we receive basic profile and verified email from the provider.
- Usage & Device: last seen timestamp, device name, IP (IPv4) for login activity, and user-agent for security and fraud prevention.
- Content: posts, messages, and files you choose to upload (e.g., profile image).

- Authenticate users and secure accounts via device & session tracking.
- Send important notices (service, security, verification status).

3. Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with trusted processors necessary to operate the Services:
- Vercel (hosting/CDN)
- MongoDB Atlas (database)
- Google OAuth & GitHub OAuth (authentication)
- Cloudinary (media storage)
These providers process data under contractual safeguards. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and integrity of the Services.
4. Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use essential cookies and secure tokens (e.g., JWT) for authentication, session management, and account security. You can control cookies via your browser settings; however, disabling them may impact functionality.
5. Your Rights
Depending on your region (e.g., GDPR), you may request access, correction, deletion, portability, or objection/restriction of processing. To exercise rights, contact us at contact@itshivam.in.
6. Data Security
We protect data with encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest, apply role-based access controls, and monitor for abuse. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we continuously improve our safeguards.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal data while your account is active or as needed to provide the Services and comply with legal obligations. You may request account deletion at any time via Settings or by emailing us.
8. Children’s Privacy
Studex Portal is intended for users aged 13+ (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us to request deletion.
9. International Transfers
We may process data in multiple regions using reputable cloud providers. Where applicable, we apply appropriate safeguards consistent with data protection laws.
