Information we collect
We only collect the information we need to deliver collaborative focus sessions and keep the experience safe for everyone. This includes:
- Account basics. Nickname, avatar selection, and any profile details you choose to share when building your Study Spaces identity.
- Session metadata. Room identifiers, timer settings, streak counts, and the device-bound
userId/sessionIdpair that keeps you signed in on return visits. - Room activity records. Task names, completion timestamps, and chat messages saved in our D1 database and short-lived KV cache so rooms can replay announcements and conversations.
- Support interactions. Details you provide when contacting our team for help, along with operational logs generated when issues occur.
How we use information
We use your information to run and improve Study Space:
- Power timers, rooms, streaks, celebrations, and other core features you expect when joining a focus session.
- Personalize the experience, including saving your preferences and profile details on the devices you use.
- Maintain lightweight transcripts of room activity so participants can follow announcements and chat context.
- Monitor service reliability, debug issues, respond to support requests, and keep Study Space secure.
Cookies and local storage
Study Space relies on local storage and similar technologies to remember your generated userId, sessionId, timer preferences, and streak progress. You can clear these identifiers through your browser settings, but doing so may reset your saved progress, presence, or profile.
When we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We only share it when it is necessary to operate the platform or when the law requires it:
- With trusted infrastructure partners (such as Cloudflare) who host and process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality obligations.
- To comply with legal requests, protect our rights, or prevent abuse.
- With your direction or consent, for example when you link Study Space to a third-party integration.
Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy. Room activity such as task announcements and chat is stored in D1 so you can revisit prior sessions, while streaming caches in KV expire within minutes. If you request account deletion, we will delete or anonymize your personal information, unless we must retain certain records for legal or security reasons.
Your choices
You are in control of your information:
- Update or delete profile details from within the app.
- Clear your saved identity and timer preferences by deleting Study Spaces data from your browser storage.
- Request a copy or deletion of your information by emailing privacy@studyspaces.org.
Children's privacy
Study Space is designed for individuals who are at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without parental consent. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect product, legal, or regulatory changes. We will post the revised version here and update the date at the top of the page. Significant updates may be shared through additional notice in the app or by email.
