2. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Stuko collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you visit or use the publicly available Stuko website, including any study tools, notes, flashcards, quizzes, or related features (the “Services”).

By using Stuko, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

3. Information We Collect

Because Stuko is a small college project, we collect only limited information necessary to operate the website and provide study features.

We may collect:

• Account information: If you create an account, we may collect your name, email address, and username.
• Study content: Notes, flashcards, quiz responses, or other materials you voluntarily create or upload.
• Usage information: Basic technical data such as browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This may include IP address and approximate location.
• Communications: Any messages you send to us, such as feedback or support requests.

We do not collect payment information, government identification numbers, or sensitive personal data.

Public Nature of Stuko:
Stuko is publicly accessible. Because of this, you should not submit sensitive personal data, confidential information, or anything you do not want to be stored or potentially visible. If you choose to share study content with others, you do so at your own discretion.

4. How We Use Information

We use the information collected only for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain, and improve Stuko.
• To provide study features and display your saved content.
• To respond to your questions or feedback.
• To monitor basic website performance and fix technical issues.
• To comply with any applicable legal obligations.

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or automated decision-making.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Where required under the DPDP Act, we process personal data based on:

• Your consent, which you provide when you voluntarily submit information or use the Services.
• Legitimate uses, such as operating the website and responding to your requests, where permitted by law.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at anjanibeesu@gmail.com. Withdrawal of consent may mean you can no longer use certain features that require your data.

6. How We Share Information

Stuko is a small project and does not sell, rent, or trade personal data.

We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We may use third-party hosting or analytics tools that process data solely on our behalf. These providers are expected to protect data and use it only for the services they provide to us.
• Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or government authority, we may disclose information as necessary to comply.
• With your consent: If you ask us to share information, we will do so.

We do not share personal data with advertisers or data brokers.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Stuko may use basic cookies or similar technologies to keep the website functioning properly and to understand general usage patterns. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work correctly if you do.

We do not use cookies for targeted advertising.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide the Services and fulfill the purposes described in this policy.

If you request deletion of your data, or if you stop using the Services, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within a reasonable period, unless we are required to retain it by law.

9. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold. These steps may include basic access controls, secure hosting, and limiting who can view your data.

However, no website or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Because Stuko is a small college project, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You use the Services at your own risk.

10. Children’s Privacy

Stuko is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided information to us, please contact us and we will delete it.

11. International Data Transfers

Stuko is operated from India. If you access the website from outside India, your information may be processed in India. By using the Services, you understand that your data may be transferred to and processed in India.

12. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, including the DPDP Act, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erase your personal data.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Nominate another person to exercise your rights in the event of death or incapacity, where applicable.
• Complain to the Data Protection Board of India if you believe your rights have been violated.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at anjanibeesu@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable time.

13. Grievance Redressal

We will try to resolve your concern promptly.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of Stuko after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.

15. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

Stuko is a public college project provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, reliability, or availability of the Services.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Anjani Beesu shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from your use of Stuko, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of study materials, or service interruptions.

Because Stuko is a non-commercial educational project, any liability on the part of the operator shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by Indian law.
