Privacy Policy

1. Core Privacy Commitments

At Tutorym, we believe that academic organizers should respect student dignity and privacy. Our platform was architected with a local-first philosophy: whenever possible, calculations, lecture alarms, and revision data remain exclusively on your device rather than being broadcast to external commercial data brokers.

2. Information We Collect

We only gather the minimum dataset required to deliver a tailored academic experience:

• Account Details: Your name, university email address, university name, faculty, department, and academic level (e.g. 100L - 500L).
• Course Preferences: Course codes you register (e.g. GST101, MAT201, CSC301) to organize timetable schedules and past question downloads.
• Device & Diagnostics: Anonymized app crash logs and device OS version (e.g. Android 12) strictly to debug alarm accuracy and offline caching performance.

3. CGPA & Academic Grade Privacy

We understand that academic standing is deeply personal. As a core engineering rule:

4. Offline Storage & Local Caching

When you save past questions, timetable schedules, or study notes for offline use, files are cached in a sandboxed application folder on your device. Tutorym does not inspect, read, or upload your private photos, personal media, or files from other applications.

5. Device Permissions & Alarms

To deliver reliable lecture reminders, Tutorym requires permission to schedule exact alarms via Android's AlarmManager API and display heads-up notifications. These notifications are generated locally on your handset and do not require internet access to fire.

6. No Third-Party Data Selling

We have never sold, monetized, or leased student contact information or academic records to third-party ad networks or credit bureaus. Tutorym is maintained as a focused educational utility.

7. Encryption & Security Architecture

All network communications between the Tutorym mobile application and our servers are encrypted using modern Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3). Sensitive credentials and tokens are secured using cryptographic salt and hash algorithms.

8. Student Rights (NDPR & NDPA)

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) and NDPR guidelines, Nigerian students have the right to:

• Request a full copy of personal data associated with your university account.
• Rectify incorrect departmental or university affiliations.
• Request immediate deletion and permanent erasure of your account and saved timetable data.
