Privacy Policy

Introduction

Syllaboom ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our service to generate study guides from course syllabi.

TL;DR: We process your syllabus to generate your study guide, then immediately discard it. Your study guide is stored only in your browser. We don't have a database of user data.

Information We Collect

1. Syllabus Content

When you upload a syllabus PDF, we extract the text content to generate your personalized study guide. This content is processed in real-time and is not stored on our servers after processing is complete.

2. Email Address

We collect your email address during checkout solely to send you a payment receipt via Stripe. We do not use your email for marketing purposes unless you explicitly opt in.

3. Payment Information

Payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe. We never see, store, or have access to your credit card number, CVV, or other sensitive payment details. Stripe may collect additional information as described in their Privacy Policy.

4. Analytics Data

We use Vercel Analytics to collect anonymous usage data such as page views, referral sources, and general geographic location (country level). This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual users.

How We Use Your Information

• To generate your personalized study guide from your syllabus
• To process your payment and send a receipt
• To improve our service based on aggregated, anonymous analytics
• To respond to support inquiries

Data Storage & Retention

• Syllabus text: Processed in memory, never written to disk, discarded immediately after generation
• Study guide: Stored in your browser only (localStorage)
• Payment records: Maintained by Stripe per their retention policies
• Analytics: Retained by Vercel for up to 30 days

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate Syllaboom:

Cookies & Tracking

We use minimal cookies necessary to operate our service:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function properly
• Analytics cookies: Anonymous usage data via Vercel Analytics (can be blocked by browser settings)

We do not use advertising cookies or sell your data to third parties.

Your Rights

Because we don't store your personal data on our servers, many traditional data rights (access, deletion, portability) are automatically fulfilled:

• Delete your study guide: Clear your browser's local storage or use your browser's "Clear site data" feature
• Export your data: Use the export buttons in the study guide to download your data in various formats
• Payment records: Contact Stripe directly for payment-related inquiries

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

• All data transmission is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS
• Payment processing is PCI-DSS compliant (via Stripe)
• We use secure, rate-limited APIs to prevent abuse
• Our infrastructure is hosted on Vercel's secure cloud platform

Children's Privacy

Syllaboom is intended for users who are at least 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
