Studipedia is an online, educational platform built for students who are preparing for their GCSEs and A-Levels. We provide access to past papers, a knowledge base in the form of a wiki, flashcards, quizzes, and an exam builder. Our privacy policy explains how we handle your data when you use our services.

When signing in we may also receive data from Google OAuth such as your verified email and account identifier.
Some features (like browsing past papers) do not require an account. However, account-based and high-usage tools have rate limits, which can only be extended for logged-in users.Paid plans are processed through Stripe, which acts as an independent payment controller. We never store or have access to full payment card information..
We use account details to authenticate you, save personal data such as flashcards, exam builder settings, quiz progress, and apply usage limits to our services.
We do not sell user data to exam boards, schools, or any other third parties.
