Studiely is an educational technology platform operated by Qismat Ventures W.L.L ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting the privacy, safety, and rights of all users, including students, parents, teachers, institutions, and administrators, particularly children.
This Privacy Policy applies to users who download and use Studiely via the Apple App Store. It explains what data, if any, your app and any third parties collect from your users, how you and any third parties use the data, and the users' privacy rights. This policy clearly and explicitly identifies what data is collected, how it is collected, and all uses of that data. It also confirms that any third party with whom data is shared (such as service providers) provides the same or equal protection of user data as stated in this policy. We explain our data retention and deletion policies below, including how a user can revoke consent and/or request deletion of their data.
We collect only the data necessary for providing educational features, improving the app, and ensuring security (data minimization principle). Data is limited to educational purposes and not used for advertising, marketing, or any unauthorized purposes. Paid functionality is not dependent on allowing the app to access data (such as Contacts or Photos). We secure user consent for data collection where required, and users can withdraw consent at any time as described below. If we rely on legitimate interests for processing (e.g., under GDPR), we ensure compliance with applicable laws.
This Privacy Policy is accessible within the app in an easily accessible manner, such as via a dedicated settings or help section.
For any questions, concerns, data requests, parental consent matters, revocation of consent, or account deletion, please email us at admin@qismatventures.com. We respond to requests promptly, typically within 30 days.
This policy complies with:
We are committed to Apple's guidelines for apps that may be used by or appeal to children, including those in the Kids Category or handling minors' data. Studiely is designed for educational use and may collect, transmit, or share personal information from minors (e.g., name, email, persistent identifiers like Firebase UID), so we include this privacy policy and comply with all relevant children's privacy statutes.
Studiely uses the following Google Firebase services as third-party processors:
| Service | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Firebase Authentication | User authentication and identity management |
| Cloud Firestore | Secure data storage |
| Firebase Analytics | App usage analytics, limited to improving app quality and learning outcomes; anonymized where possible |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Crash reporting and error tracking |
| Firebase Remote Config | App configuration |
These services provide the same or equal protection of user data as stated in this policy. For more information, see the Firebase Privacy Policy: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
Data processed by Firebase is handled in compliance with Apple's terms, our instructions as the data controller (under GDPR), and applicable laws. We do not share data with third parties for their own purposes without consent.

Studiely complies with Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework. We do not track users or their devices across apps or websites owned by other companies for advertising or data brokerage purposes.

No data is shared with third parties to improve the app or for advertising except as permitted under Apple guidelines and with consent. We do not share data from health APIs (none used) or for data mining.

We provide an easily accessible way to withdraw consent within the app (e.g., via settings). We do not discriminate against users exercising rights.
Apps supporting account creation must offer account deletion within the app. You can delete your account and associated data:

You can opt out of non-essential analytics collection by:
Some analytics may be necessary for core app functionality and cannot be disabled. Since we do not track across apps, no ATT prompt is shown.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in practices or laws. We will notify users of material changes (e.g., via in-app notice, email, or app update). Continued use of Studiely after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
