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.
- Session metadata. Room identifiers, timer preferences, streak counts, and engagement stats saved to your device and our services so you can pick up where you left off.
- Usage insights. Anonymized analytics about feature adoption, performance, and reliability. We do not record your conversations or task content.
- Support interactions. Details you provide when contacting our team for help.
How we use information
We use your information to run and improve Study Space:
- Power timers, rooms, streaks, and other core features you expect.
- Personalize the experience, including saving your preferences on the devices you use.
- Monitor service reliability, debug issues, and keep Study Space secure.
- Communicate with you about updates, policy changes, and product tips when you opt in.
Cookies and local storage
Study Space relies on local storage and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your timer and streak preferences, and show session history. You can clear these identifiers through your browser settings, but doing so may reset your saved progress 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.

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy. If you request account deletion, we will delete or anonymize your personal information, unless we must retain certain records for legal or security reasons.
