Privacy

Stryde does not sell personal data. We do not sell your email, study profile, lesson history, uploaded files, source history, weak-topic data, or AI prompts.

Stryde is built around trust: we use study data to run, secure, improve, and personalise the product, not to trade student information.

If ads are ever added, Stryde will not use student profiles, uploaded files, lesson history, or AI conversations to build behavioural ad profiles. Any ads should be contextual to the page or clearly disclosed before launch.

Stryde stores the information needed to run your learning workspace: account details, study profile, saved workspace state, remembered source metadata, short snippets, lesson history, flashcards, quizzes, review state, feedback, and source-library activity.

If you upload a syllabus, note, PDF, past-paper file, or other source, Stryde may extract readable text and metadata so it can choose better sources and build lessons around your course. Keep private, confidential, or sensitive documents out of Stryde unless you are comfortable using them in a study workspace.

Syllabus file previews during signup are used to extract text for the profile you are creating. Signed-in syllabus uploads require an account session and are attached only when you save the study profile.

Stryde may also keep technical logs such as request timing, rate-limit events, errors, and security signals so the service can be protected and improved.

Your study profile helps route searches toward sources that fit your school, exam board, university course, subject, or personal interests.

Remembered source metadata helps the app reuse trusted sources instead of repeatedly searching the web for the same kind of question.

Workspace and lesson history help you continue studying without rebuilding the same materials from scratch.

Aggregated or anonymised usage patterns may be used to improve Stryde, such as learning which topics need better source coverage. These patterns should not identify individual students.

We do not sell personal data.

We do not sell uploaded course materials, private notes, lesson history, AI prompts, weak-topic data, or exam-board profiles.

We do not use your uploaded files or private lesson history to build third-party advertising profiles.

We do not intentionally store passwords in a readable form. Passwords should be stored as secure hashes, not as plain text.

The app is designed to store source URLs, titles, quality signals, short snippets, and learning metadata rather than copying whole websites.

Lessons should link back to the original source when a web source is used. Source snippets are used to ground explanations, show evidence, and help you check whether the answer matches the source.

Search results can be imperfect. The app ranks sources toward textbooks, official pages, academic databases, and trusted learning resources, but you should still check important claims.

For past papers and mark schemes, Stryde aims to store metadata and links to official or trusted providers rather than mirroring copyrighted documents unless there is a clear right to do so.

Stryde can use hosted AI providers or local AI through Ollama when configured by the app owner. The selected provider may receive your prompt and a compact source digest so it can generate a lesson.

The app should avoid sending unnecessary private workspace data to an AI provider. For hosted AI, prompts and compact source context may leave the Stryde server to generate a response. For local Ollama mode, generation can stay on the configured local machine.

Do not use the app as a secure vault for sensitive personal, medical, legal, financial, or safety-critical information.

You can remove individual remembered sources, clear all source memory, change your study profile, export your account data, delete your account, and clear local workspace data from the workspace controls.

Account deletion removes the app account record plus saved sessions, workspace snapshots, password reset records, and remembered source memory attached to that account.

Exported account data is delivered as a JSON file so you can inspect what the app stores about your account and learning workspace.

The app stores account data in the configured database and keeps authentication sessions in secure HTTP-only cookies where possible.

Some data may also exist in your browser storage so the workspace feels fast during local development. Clearing browser storage removes local copies but does not replace account deletion for server-side data.

Source memory and lesson cache are meant to improve speed and quality over time. Freshness-sensitive topics should be rechecked more often than stable topics like basic math or classical science.

Stryde keeps data only for as long as it is useful for the product, required for security, or needed for legal and operational reasons. You can request deletion through the account controls or by contacting us.

If you are below the age required to use online services in your location, use Stryde only with permission from a parent, guardian, teacher, or school.

Do not enter personal information about yourself or others that is not needed for studying.

Stryde is designed for studying, not for building advertising profiles around children or students.

Stryde is operated from Azerbaijan but may be used by students in other countries. Privacy rules can depend on where you live and where the service is offered.

If Stryde is offered to students in the UK, EU, US, or other regions, additional local privacy rules may apply. We aim to keep the product privacy-first so it can be used safely across different study markets.
