Welcome to The StudyVerse! This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy.

- Submitted Content: If you choose to submit notes, tips, or other resources via email, we collect the content you send.
- Automatically Collected Information (Minimal for this static site):
- Our website itself does not use cookies or directly track your personal activity. However, standard web server logs (managed by your hosting provider, e.g., GitHub Pages, Netlify) may automatically collect non-personal information like your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit. This information is used for basic website operation and security, not for identifying you personally.

- To Improve the Website: Your feedback and contributions help us make The StudyVerse better for all students.
3. How We Share Your Information
We do NOT sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information (like your email address) to outside parties.
- Submitted Content: If your notes or resources are approved for publication, the content itself (e.g., the PDF files, study tips text) will be publicly visible on the website. We will not publish your name, email, or any other personal identifying information you might have included in your email (if you followed our guidelines).

We use local storage in your browser to remember your preferences, such as whether you have agreed to our Terms & Conditions. This data is stored only on your device and is not shared, collected, or transferred anywhere. You can clear this data by clearing your browser cache or site data.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information you send us via email. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
