Privacy Policy

The short version

• We collect what we need to run your account and save your work. Nothing more.
• We do not sell your information, and we do not show ads.
• Podium Study is for people 13 and older.
• You can delete your work at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account.

What we collect

• Account details. Your email address and login information. If you sign in with Google, Google shares your name and email with us.
• Your work. The notes, documents, study sets, practice tests, presentations, rehearsal results and class folders you create or upload.
• Basic usage information. Pages visited, device and browser type, and similar information our hosting provider records to keep the site working and secure.
• Things saved in your browser. We keep your sign-in session, unsaved drafts and a few display settings in your browser's local storage.

How we use it

We use your information to run your account, save and show your work, generate study materials when you ask, keep the site secure, answer your messages and improve Podium Study. We do not use your work to train AI models, and we do not build advertising profiles.

AI features

When you ask Podium Study to generate flashcards, tests, presentations or feedback, the notes or documents you choose are sent to OpenAI to produce the result. We ask OpenAI not to store these requests. Do not upload anything you are not comfortable sending for processing, such as other people's private information. AI results can contain mistakes, so check them before you rely on them.

Voice and rehearsal

Voice follow uses the speech recognition built into your browser. Podium Study does not record or keep your audio. Depending on your browser, your browser maker (for example Google, for Chrome) may process the audio to turn it into text. We save the rehearsal results you choose to keep, such as your time and pace.

Services we use

• Wix hosts the site, runs accounts and stores your work.
• OpenAI processes material when you use AI features.
• Google handles sign-in if you choose to sign in with Google.
• Canva receives your presentation only if you connect your Canva account and choose to send it. We store the connection encrypted, and you can disconnect at any time.

Each of these companies has its own privacy policy. We only share what is needed for the feature you use.

Students and young users

Podium Study is not for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has made an account, contact us at support@podiumstudy.com and we will delete it. If you are under 18, please review this policy with a parent or guardian.

Your choices

• Edit or delete any study set, presentation or material from your library at any time.
• Ask us for a copy of your information, to correct it, or to delete your account by emailing support@podiumstudy.com.
• Disconnect Canva or Google from your account whenever you like.

How long we keep it

We keep your work while your account is open. When you delete something, it is removed from your library. When you ask us to delete your account, we delete your information within 30 days, except where we must keep something for legal or security reasons.

Security

We use encrypted connections, keep access to your work tied to your account, and encrypt stored connection tokens. No online service can promise perfect security, so please use a strong password.

Changes

If we make important changes to this policy, we will update the date above and let you know on the site before the changes take effect.
