When you choose Google Sign-In, Study Share uses Google OAuth solely to verify your identity and create or access your account.

• Google provides us with your Google account ID, email, display name, and avatar. We do not receive your Google password or the contents of Gmail, Drive, Classroom, or other Google products.
• These fields are stored in our authentication provider (Supabase) to keep you signed in, prevent fraud, and prefill your profile. Tokens are used only for authentication and are not shared with advertisers.
• You may disconnect Google by deleting your account (where available) or emailing team@studyshare.app to remove the Google identity and related tokens.
• We follow the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements for Google user data.

Study Share provides, among other things:

• AI-powered explanations, diagnostic tools, and practice tests for standardized exams.
• Advanced AI features including image processing capabilities that can analyze and explain visual content.
• Optional voice mode features that convert speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS) to keep your hands free while studying.
• Dashboards, analytics, and chat summaries to monitor your progress.

Study Share LLC continually improves the platform and may add, modify, or remove features at any time. We will not materially reduce paid features without reasonable notice.

When you enable voice mode you allow Study Share to process speech so we can provide hands free explanations:

• Speech is captured on your device, encrypted, and sent to our AI speech service provider for transcription. Only the text transcript is stored.
• Text-to-speech playback is generated on demand and is not retained after playback. Audio is never stored or replayed by default.
• Transcripts appear inside the chat summary as timestamped user and assistant turns so you can revisit prior explanations. This chat summary is stored server-side and synced across devices.
• Voice mode currently supports English. Filler words and background noise are removed to keep the chat summary clean and focused.
• It is your responsibility to ensure you have the right to speak aloud any content processed by voice mode and to keep sensitive information out of recordings.

You agree to maintain a respectful, academically honest environment. Prohibited conduct includes:

• Using AI features to obtain or distribute exam answers, test keys, or other materials that violate school or testing policies.
• Harassing, bullying, threatening, or discriminating against other users, including via voice mode.
• Misusing AI explanations or chat summaries to generate harmful, infringing, or deceptive content.
• Using AI features to process or share content that you do not own or lack permission to use.
• Interfering with the platform through bots, scraping, or denial-of-service attacks.

Study Share LLC may remove content, suspend accounts, or report activity to schools or authorities when necessary to enforce these rules.

You retain ownership of content you create or share through Study Share. When you use our AI features, including image processing, you grant Study Share LLC a limited license to process that content to provide the requested services. We do not claim ownership of your content.

You represent that you have all necessary rights to use any content you submit for AI processing and that such content does not infringe any third-party rights. See Section 11 for DMCA procedures.
