Introduction
Welcome to Scholar Sphere ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing a safe, educational, and engaging environment. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle the collection, use, and protection of your personal information when you use our mobile application.
By downloading or using the Scholar Sphere mobile application, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information Collection & Use
To provide and improve our educational and leaderboard services, we may collect the following types of information:
- Account Details: When you register or sign in (via email or Google Sign-In), we store your name, email address, and selected class or study choices.
- Performance Stats: We collect and store your quiz scores, completion times, and daily study streaks. This data is essential for computing leaderboard rankings and awarding rewards.
- Shipping Information: If you qualify for and claim streak rewards (Gifts), we collect your phone number and delivery address to package and ship your reward.
⚠️ Important: Your shipping and contact details are collected strictly for reward delivery. They are confidential and will never be shared with third parties or used for promotional purposes.
Data Security
The security of your data is very important to us. We use secure cloud infrastructure (Google Firebase) to host our database. All data transfers between the app and Firestore are protected by SSL/TLS encryption.
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Services & Ads
Our app incorporates third-party SDKs that collect information to serve advertisements and handle notifications:
- Google AdMob: We show ads to keep this app free for students. AdMob may collect device advertising IDs and location parameters to serve relevant ads.
- Firebase Services: We use Firebase Authentication, Firestore, and Cloud Messaging (FCM) to sync user profiles, quiz sets, and deliver streak reminder push notifications.
