Studeo (“Studeo“, “we“, “us“, or “our“) is a mobile study and calendar planning application designed to help students organize their studies, schedules, activities, and social interactions.
This Privacy Policy explains how Studeo collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when you use the Studeo mobile application and related services.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or the processing of your personal data, you can contact us at the email address above.

When you use Studeo, we may process technical information such as:
Push notification tokens
Device type or model
Operating system and version
Application version
Network or connectivity information
Technical identifiers necessary to operate and secure the application
This information is used to operate Studeo, deliver notifications, maintain security, troubleshoot technical problems, and improve application reliability.
We may use services such as Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, and Firebase Performance Monitoring to understand how the application performs and to identify technical problems.
Depending on the configuration of these services, information may include:
Application usage information
Events relating to interaction with the application
Device and technical information
Performance information
Crash reports
Error messages and stack traces
Information relating to the circumstances in which an application error occurred
These services help us identify bugs, improve stability, investigate technical incidents, and improve the performance of Studeo.
Where consent is legally required for a particular analytics or tracking activity, we will request the appropriate consent before carrying out that processing.
We may request access to your camera or photo library when you choose to select or upload a profile picture.
You can refuse this permission. Refusing access may prevent you from using functionality that requires a profile picture.
Where you choose to synchronize or export Studeo activities with your device calendar, Studeo may request access to your device calendar.
Calendar access is used only to provide the calendar functionality you request.
Studeo may request permission to send push notifications.
Notifications may be used for purposes such as:
Activity reminders
Timetable-related updates
Friend requests
Social interactions
Other relevant Studeo notifications
You can manage notification permissions through your device settings.
We process personal data for the following purposes:
To create and manage your Studeo account
To authenticate users and maintain account security
To provide timetable and study-planning functionality
To provide calendar and activity-management functionality
To enable social and friend-related functionality
To provide user search functionality
To send requested notifications
To synchronize or export information to your device calendar where requested
To provide profile-picture functionality
To detect, investigate, and resolve technical problems
To maintain the security and integrity of Studeo
To monitor and improve application performance
To understand application usage where legally permitted
To comply with applicable legal obligations
To protect our rights and prevent misuse, fraud, or security incidents
We do not sell your personal data.
Depending on the processing activity, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases under Article 6 GDPR.
We may process information necessary to provide the Studeo services you request.
This may include account information, timetable information, calendar and activity information, and information necessary for social functionality.
Where required by law, we rely on your consent for specific processing activities.
This may include certain optional permissions or analytics/tracking activities where consent is legally required.
You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Where appropriate, we may process personal data based on our legitimate interests, including:
Maintaining application security
Preventing abuse and fraud
Diagnosing crashes and technical problems
Maintaining and improving application performance
Protecting our legal rights
Operating and maintaining our services
When relying on legitimate interests, we consider and balance our interests against your rights and freedoms.
We may process personal data where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation applicable to us.
We use selected third-party service providers to operate Studeo.
These providers may process personal data on our behalf or may process data independently for certain services, depending on their role and the applicable legal framework.
We may use Firebase services including:
Firebase Authentication
Cloud Firestore
Firebase Storage
Firebase Cloud Functions
Firebase Cloud Messaging
Firebase Analytics
Firebase Crashlytics
Firebase Performance Monitoring
These services may be used for authentication, database storage, file storage, notifications, analytics, crash reporting, performance monitoring, and backend functionality.
We may use Apple services, including:
Sign in with Apple
Apple device/calendar functionality where applicable
We may use Algolia to provide search functionality within Studeo.
Certain profile information may be indexed by Algolia to enable users to search for other users.
Studeo may retrieve timetable information from TimeEdit or systems operated by or on behalf of educational institutions, where the user has provided the relevant timetable connection or where such data is otherwise made available for the requested functionality.
Some of our service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we take appropriate measures required by applicable data protection law.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
An adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission
Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”)
Other legally recognized transfer mechanisms or safeguards
Where required by GDPR, information about the applicable transfer mechanism and relevant safeguards can be requested from us.
Because third-party services and their infrastructure may change over time, the precise locations in which data is processed may vary depending on the services and configurations used.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Different categories of information may therefore have different retention periods.
For example:
Account information is generally retained while your Studeo account remains active.
Timetable, calendar, and activity information is retained while necessary to provide the corresponding functionality.
Technical, security, crash, and diagnostic information may be retained for a limited period appropriate to the purpose for which it was collected.
Information that must be retained to comply with legal obligations may be retained for the legally required period.
When personal data is no longer required, we will delete it or otherwise securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal obligations.
You can permanently delete your Studeo account through the account settings available within the application.
When you request account deletion, we will delete or anonymize the personal data associated with your account, subject to any information that we are legally required or legitimately permitted to retain.
Depending on technical and legal requirements, deletion from backup systems or third-party systems may take additional time.
Account deletion may result in the permanent loss of your Studeo account, activities, connections, and other associated information.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable legal requirements, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
You can request confirmation as to whether we process personal data about you and, where applicable, request a copy of that data.
You can request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data be corrected.
You may request deletion of your personal data in circumstances provided by the GDPR.
You can also delete your Studeo account directly through the application.
In certain circumstances, you can request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
Where the legal requirements are met, you may request your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, request that it be transmitted to another controller.
In certain circumstances, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, particularly where processing is based on legitimate interests.
Where we process your personal data based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to conditions and exceptions under applicable law.
To exercise your rights, contact us at:
Please clearly indicate the right you wish to exercise and provide sufficient information for us to identify the relevant account or request.
We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests in order to protect your personal data and prevent unauthorized access.
We will normally respond to a valid request within one month.
This period may be extended by up to two additional months where permitted by the GDPR, particularly where requests are complex or numerous. Where an extension applies, we will inform you within the applicable initial period.
If you believe that your personal data has been processed unlawfully or that your GDPR rights have not been respected, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
For users in Belgium, the competent authority is:
Belgian Data Protection Authority (Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit / Autorité de protection des données)
Drukpersstraat / Rue de la Presse 35
1000 Brussels
Belgium
Email: contact@apd-gba.be
Telephone: +32 (0)2 274 48 00
You may also contact another competent supervisory authority where permitted under the GDPR, for example the authority in your country of habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.
We nevertheless encourage you to contact us first so that we have an opportunity to address your concern.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, destruction, or other unlawful processing.
These measures may include authentication controls, access controls, encryption or encrypted communication where appropriate, secure cloud infrastructure, and monitoring of technical errors and security issues.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Studeo is intended for students and is not specifically directed at children.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children in circumstances where such collection is prohibited by applicable law.
If you believe that a child has provided us with personal data in circumstances where this should not have occurred, please contact us at:
Studeo does not currently intend to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects concerning users solely through automated processing.
If this changes in the future, we will provide the information required by applicable data protection law and, where required, obtain appropriate consent or provide applicable safeguards.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Studeo, our data processing practices, technology, or applicable legal requirements.
When we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify users, where required.
The date at the top of this Privacy Policy indicates when it was last updated.
If you have questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the processing of your personal data, please contact:

We are committed to handling privacy-related requests transparently and in accordance with applicable data protection law.
