1. Who We Are
Studipedia is an online, educational platform built for students who are preparing for their GCSEs and A-Levels. We provide access to past papers, flashcards, quizzes, and an exam builder. Our privacy policy explains how we handle your data when you use our services.
2. Information We Collect
We only collect data that is needed to run this service. When you create an account, we receive:
- 1. Your Name
- 2. Your Email Address
- 3. Your Username
- 4. Your Password
- 5. Your IP Address and device session information
When signing in we may also receive data from Google OAuth and Clerk authentication services such as your verified email and account identifier. Clerk handles user registration, login, session management, and account security controls. Your authentication data is processed in accordance with Clerk's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
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, and quiz progress. We also log IP addresses associated with your account sessions. This is strictly used to prevent abuse of the platform, enforce rate limits, and ensure account security. You can view active sessions and the associated IP addresses in your profile settings at any time.
We do not sell user data to exam boards, schools, or any other third parties.
3. Cookies And Locally Stored Data
Your browser may store data locally for things like:
- 1. Keeping you signed in (via Clerk authentication)
- 2. Saving dark mode preferences
- 3. Caching your learning tools and settings
You can clear these inside your browser at any time, though features may reset when you do.
4. Analytics And Usage Tracking
To understand how Studipedia is being used, we use Google and Vercel Analytics and internal usage metrics. These tools collect information such as device type, page visits, and general interaction patterns. This data is not linked to your account and cannot identify you individually.
5. Data Sharing
We share minimal data with some third party providers in order to give you the best possible experience through the operation of this website:
- Cloudflare - for file serving and security
- Stripe - for payment processing
- Clerk - for authentication services
- Google - for analytics and optional OAuth sign-in
These services receive only the data to fulfil their roles, and will not use your data for marketing. We never share individual usage data with schools, exam boards or sponsors. Your data is processed in accordance with their privacy policies.
6. User Generated Content
You can create and customize flashcards and quizzes within Studipedia. These study materials are stored securely in your account and are completely private to you. Your quiz attempts, learning progress, and study data are never shared with other users, schools, exam boards, or any third parties.
7. Your Rights
As a UK-based service, you are protected by UK data protection law. You have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Review active sessions and revoke access for unrecognized IP addresses
- Request deletion of your account and related data
If you request deletion, we will remove your data within three working days and confirm via email.
