1. Introduction

Effective Date: October 25, 2025

Saveetha A to Z ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you visit our website or use our services.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary for functionality:

• Personal Information: Email addresses submitted via the Contact Form (restricted to @saveetha.com domains). This is used solely for processing requests.
• Uploaded Files: Concept maps, assignments, or tutorials uploaded via the Submit Request form. Files are temporarily processed and uploaded to a third-party service (ImgBB) for hosting; we do not store files on our servers.
• Usage Data: Automatically collected non-personal data like browser type, IP address, and pages visited (via standard web analytics). No tracking cookies are used.
• Community Contributions: Publicly shared data like contributor names, Instagram links, and resource descriptions.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To process and respond to your requests (e.g., adding faculty contacts or resources).
• To send confirmation emails via EmailJS (a third-party service; we do not access email content).
• To improve our platform based on anonymous usage patterns.
• To display community-contributed content publicly.

We do not use your data for marketing, advertising, or sharing with third parties beyond necessary service providers (e.g., EmailJS, ImgBB).

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Your data is shared only as required:

• With university administrators for request processing (e.g., emails sent to yogeshwaroff@gmail.com as a demo; in production, to official Saveetha contacts).
• Uploaded file links are public via ImgBB, but descriptions are moderated before display.
• In response to legal requirements or to protect our rights.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data, including HTTPS encryption and secure third-party integrations. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your submitted data by contacting us.
• Opt-out of any communications (though minimal).
• Withdraw consent for data processing.

For requests, email support@saveetha.com.

7. Children's Privacy

Our platform is intended for university students aged 18+. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically. Changes will be posted here with the updated effective date. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
