We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, university affiliation, and profile details. When you use .edu email verification, we collect your student email address to confirm your enrollment status. We also automatically collect usage data including device information, IP address, and interaction patterns within the app.
Your information is used to operate, maintain, and improve the platform. This includes facilitating connections between buyers and sellers, personalizing your experience, verifying student status through .edu emails, and sending relevant notifications. We may also use aggregated, anonymized data for analytics and platform improvements.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Limited information such as your display name and campus may be visible to other users to facilitate transactions. Your .edu email is used only for verification and is never shared with other users. We may share data with service providers who assist in operating the platform under strict confidentiality agreements.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including encryption in transit and at rest. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
Your account data is retained for as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, your data will be retained for up to 180 days for security, fraud prevention, and legal compliance purposes before permanent deletion. During this retention period, your data is not accessible to other users.
You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information at any time through your account settings. You may also request a copy of all data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us through the app or via email at support@studenty.app.
When you choose to verify your student status, we collect your .edu email address and send a verification code. This email is stored to maintain your verified status and is never displayed to other users or shared with third parties. You can see your verification status on your profile.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience and gather usage analytics. You can manage cookie preferences through your device settings. Disabling cookies may limit certain features of the app.
