- Submitted Content: If you choose to submit notes, tips, or other resources via email, we collect the content you send.
- Automatically Collected Information (Minimal for this static site):
- Our website itself does not use cookies or directly track your personal activity. However, standard web server logs (managed by your hosting provider, e.g., GitHub Pages, Netlify) may automatically collect non-personal information like your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit. This information is used for basic website operation and security, not for identifying you personally.

- To Improve the Website: Your feedback and contributions help us make Studdy Buddy Hub better for all students.
3. How We Share Your Information
We do NOT sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information (like your email address) to outside parties.
- Submitted Content: If your notes or resources are approved for publication, the content itself (e.g., the PDF files, study tips text) will be publicly visible on the website. We will not publish your name, email, or any other personal identifying information you might have included in your email (if you followed our guidelines).
