Privacy Policy

CLIGN (“we,” “us,” or “our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you use the CLIGN platform (the “Service”), including data we receive through integrations with Google services.

1. Information we collect

We collect the following types of information:

Account information: name, email address, phone number, home address, and password when you register.
Profile information: school, major, expected graduation year, home and school time zones, and optional preferences such as school colors.
Academic content: syllabi, course schedules, deadlines, lecture recordings, transcripts, notes, flashcards, and quizzes you upload or generate.
Calendar and email data: with your permission, we access calendar and email information through Google Calendar and Gmail APIs to build your schedule and surface deadlines.
Usage data: device type, browser, IP address, and interactions with the Service, collected automatically to improve performance and security.

2. How we use your information

We use your information to:

Provide, personalize, and improve the CLIGN Service.
Build your semester calendar, course list, and study plan from uploaded syllabi.
Generate transcripts, notes, flashcards, and quizzes from lecture recordings.
Sync with Google Calendar and Gmail when you authorize those integrations.
Send important account and product updates.
Maintain security, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

3. Google services

CLIGN uses Google APIs, including Google Calendar and Gmail, only after you explicitly grant permission. We request the minimum scopes necessary to provide the Service. Data obtained from Google is used solely to power CLIGN features and is not sold, shared, or used for advertising purposes. We comply with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We only share data with service providers who help us operate CLIGN (such as cloud hosting and AI processing), and only under strict confidentiality and security obligations. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and users.

5. Data security

We use industry-standard security measures, including encryption in transit and at rest, Row Level Security in our database, and secure authentication. While we take strong steps to protect your data, no online service can guarantee absolute security.

6. Your rights and choices

You can:

Update or delete your profile information in Settings.
Revoke Google integrations at any time in Settings → Integrations.
Request a copy of your data or ask us to delete your account by contacting support.

7. Data retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will remove or anonymize your data within a reasonable time, except where retention is required by law.

8. Children's privacy

CLIGN is designed for college students. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected data from a child under 13, please contact us.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or through the Service. Your continued use of CLIGN after changes take effect means you accept the revised policy.
