Privacy Policy

We collect information needed to provide, personalize, and improve our services.

• Name
• Your age (2Study is for people aged 16 and over)
• Gender, if provided
• Email address (used as your account login)
• Phone number and WhatsApp contact, if provided
• University and study information
• Courses, tasks, and exams
• Grades, stored privately
• Profile photo, if you add one
• Files you upload to your courses, such as documents and images, and the friends you share them with
• Your friends, friend requests and course-help connections
• League scores and study activity, such as study time, streaks and course progress
• Study Together invites, including any note sent with them
• Files you submit to the Community Library, and reports you send about its files
• App preferences and settings
• Records of the terms and consents you accept when you sign up
• App usage statistics and crash reports (Google Analytics for Firebase, Firebase Crashlytics, Firebase Performance Monitoring), without your advertising identifier
• Advertising identifier, in the free version
• Purchase and subscription status

We use your information to operate and improve the 2Study experience.

• Create personalized study plans
• Synchronize data across devices
• Send reminders and notifications
• Improve application functionality
• Provide optional social features
• Show ads in the free version
• Provide 2Study Pro and restore purchases

Anonymous and aggregated information may be used for academic or scientific research.

Personally identifiable information will not be shared for research without consent when consent is required by applicable law.

Your information may be stored using Firebase services provided by Google.

Your profile photo and the files you upload to your courses are stored in Firebase Storage.

Your friends can see your name and profile photo, your university, study year and league badge, and your league stats: your weekly score, study time, how much of the week's planned study you completed, streaks and course progress, but never your grades. Your friends and accepted course-help connections can also see your email address and your WhatsApp number, if you added one.

If your account is public, any 2Study user can find you by name or course and see your public profile: your name and photo and, unless you turn them off in Settings, your university, study year, current and previous courses, course progress and league badge.

Your course files stay private unless you share them:

• A friend you share a file with can view and download it until you remove their access or delete the file. Removing someone as a friend does not remove their access, so remove it first. Copies they have already downloaded stay with them.
• If you submit one of your files to a Community Library, a 2Study moderator can open it to review it. Only a copy that a moderator approves can be published there, with the file's name, your first name as the contributor and any description you add. The published record also includes your 2Study account ID. Your own file stays private.

If one of your courses has a Community Library, which 2Study sets up and moderates, you can view and download its files and report a file to the moderators, with a reason and an optional note.

A Study Together invite, including any note, can be seen only by you and the friend you invite.

2Study does not read your photo library. You choose a profile photo with your device's photo picker, which gives 2Study only the photo you pick. If you save a picture from a course file to Photos, it is only added to your library.

Usage statistics, crash reports and performance data are processed by Google through Google Analytics for Firebase, Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Performance Monitoring.

These services identify your copy of the app by a random ID. On iPhone and iPad, Google Analytics for Firebase also uses the identifier for vendor, an ID Apple gives our apps on your device, but never your advertising identifier. Google may work out your approximate location from your IP address, and Google Analytics for Firebase may record your in-app purchases and subscription renewals.

2Study for iPhone and iPad also includes Firebase In-App Messaging, Google's service for showing messages inside an app. We have not set up any messages, but when you open the app the service still contacts Google, sending a Firebase installation ID (a random ID for your copy of the app) and your app version, system version, language and time zone.

2Study also keeps a record of your Pro status in its cloud database, and deletes it when your account is deleted (contact us if the app could not finish deleting your sign-in). See Purchases.

We apply reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect your information.

2Study uses the same sign-in as 2Work, made by the same developer, so you can use one account for both apps. Your name and age live on that shared account.

If you use 2Work with the same account and 2Work shares your shift times with 2Study, 2Study receives when each shift starts and ends, plus technical details such as the time zone and the 2Work app version, but never your pay, workplaces or notes. 2Study only reads these times, to show your shifts as yellow "2Work shift" blocks on your calendar and to keep that time free when it plans your studying. Turning off Show 2Work shifts in Settings stops 2Study from showing or planning around them on that device, but 2Study still receives the times. Deleting your 2Study account in 2Study for iPhone or iPad also deletes this shared copy of your shift times; if you delete your account in the Android app, contact us and we will delete it.

Deleting your 2Study account also deletes the shared sign-in, so you can no longer sign in to 2Work. It does not delete your 2Work records; see the 2Work privacy policy for how to delete them.

The free version of 2Study occasionally shows full-screen ads served by Google AdMob at natural transition points, such as when you open or return to the app, or after a focus session. 2Study Pro users see no ads, and no ads are requested for them. Your advertising identifier is used only for ads, never for our app analytics.

• Android advertising ID, if allowed
• Device and app information
• Approximate location from your IP address
• Ad views and taps

We never give advertisers your name, email, grades, or study content, and we do not sell your personal data for money.

Where the law requires it, 2Study asks for your consent with a Google consent form before any ad is requested. Elsewhere, ads on Android may be personalized using your advertising ID unless you delete or reset it. On iPhone, 2Study does not use your advertising identifier and does not ask to track you, so ads on iPhone are not personalized. Wherever you decline consent, ads are not personalized.

Some U.S. state laws treat personalized advertising as "selling" or "sharing"; where they apply, you can opt out in Settings > Privacy choices.

• In 2Study: Settings > Privacy choices
• Android: Settings > Privacy > Ads

2Study Pro is sold through the Apple App Store and Google Play. When you are signed in, 2Study checks your Pro status with RevenueCat, which also confirms, manages, and restores purchases, linked to your 2Study account.

• Your 2Study account ID and basic device information
• If you buy: product, price and currency, and purchase, renewal and expiry dates
• If you buy: store transaction identifiers

With the Super Pro monthly subscription or the 2Study + 2Work lifetime purchase, 2Work Pro is included once it is available in the 2Work app. Your Pro status will then also be available to 2Work, a separate app, when you sign in with the same account.

A monthly subscription may come with an introductory offer, such as a lower price for the first month. Before you confirm the purchase, the offer, how long it lasts, and the regular price that follows are shown in the app or by the App Store or Google Play. When the offer ends, the subscription renews automatically at the regular price unless you cancel before the renewal. Apple and Google decide who is eligible; usually each store account can use an introductory offer only once.

2Study also keeps a record of your Pro status in its own cloud database (Cloud Firestore), linked to your account ID, so that we can see which plans your account has and help you with purchase and support questions. Only 2Study's server can write it, and it is updated automatically when a purchase changes. The record holds:

• Which plans are active, the product identifiers, and the store
• Purchase, renewal and expiry dates, and status
• RevenueCat's identifiers for them

It does not hold prices or payment details. It is deleted when your account's sign-in is deleted. If the app cannot finish deleting your sign-in when you delete your account, contact us and we will delete the record.

Card and payment details stay with Apple or Google. Neither we nor RevenueCat receive them.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Access your information
• Edit inaccurate information
• Delete your account
• Request deletion of stored information

To delete your 2Study account, open 2Study > Profile > Settings > Delete Account, type DELETE and enter your password to confirm. You can also email 2.apps.support@gmail.com from your account's email address. This deletes your account, profile, courses, plans, friends, grades and files, and the purchase record in 2Study's cloud database. If the app could not finish deleting your sign-in, contact us and we will delete that record.

Deleting a file or your account does not remove a copy already published in a Community Library, or your Community Library submissions and reports. Contact us to have them removed.

Deleting your account does not delete the purchase records that Apple, Google, and RevenueCat keep for accounting, tax, and fraud prevention. Contact us to have the RevenueCat record linked to your account deleted.
