Privacy Policy.

This policy explains how BreedX (“BreedX”, “we”, “us”) handles your personal data when you use our website, app and products (the “Service”). BreedX is responsible for deciding how your personal data is used.

It should be read alongside our Terms of Service. The “In short” notes on this page are there to help you read it, and where a note and the full text differ, the full text applies.

We collect only what we need to run BreedX:

• Account details: your name, email address, country and password. If you continue with Google, we receive your basic Google profile details.
• Academic profile: your school, faculty, department, programme, level, start and graduation years, interests, and your answers to our study style questions.
• Your content: files you upload, questions you ask, and the notes, flashcards, quizzes and quiz results you create.
• Academic records: grades, credits and any schedule or timetable details you enter.
• Payment details: your plan and payment history. Your payment provider handles your card details, and we do not store them in full.
• Usage and device data: pages you visit, your device and browser type, your approximate location based on your IP address, and error logs.
• Messages: anything you send us, such as a support email.

We use your personal data to:

• create your account and sign you in
• provide features such as Ask, Find, Study, Tutor, Quizzes, Spaces and the CGPA calculator
• tailor BreedX to your course and the way you like to study
• process payments and manage your plan
• answer your questions and send important service messages
• keep BreedX secure, and prevent misuse and fraud
• understand how BreedX is used so that we can improve it

We use your files and study content only to provide and maintain the Service for you. We will only send you marketing messages where we are allowed to, and you can opt out at any time.

Data protection law requires us to have a valid reason for using your personal data. We rely on:

• Contract: we need the data to provide the Service you signed up for.
• Consent: you have agreed, for example to optional features or marketing. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
• Legitimate interests: we need the data to secure and improve BreedX, and this does not override your rights.
• Legal obligation: the law requires us to keep or share certain information.

When you use AI features, the relevant parts of your files and questions are sent to the AI providers that power BreedX so they can generate a response. These providers act on our instructions.

Please avoid uploading sensitive personal information that you do not need for your studies, such as ID documents, bank details or health records.

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with:

• Service providers that help us run BreedX, such as hosting, AI, analytics, email and payment providers. They may only use your data to provide their services to us.
• Members of your Spaces, who can see what you choose to share there.
• Google, if you choose to continue with Google.
• Authorities, if the law requires it or if we need to protect people’s rights or safety.
• A new owner, if BreedX is ever part of a merger or sale. We would tell you first.

Some of our service providers are based outside Nigeria, so your personal data may be processed in other countries. Where this happens, we take the steps required by data protection law to make sure your data remains protected.

BreedX uses cookies and similar browser storage to remember your settings, such as your sidebar layout, keep your library files available on your device, and support the installable app. These are needed for the Service to work properly.

We also use Vercel Analytics to understand how our website is used. You can clear or block browser storage in your browser settings, but parts of BreedX may stop working if you do.

We keep your personal data for as long as your account is active and as long as we need it for the purposes in this policy. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymise your personal data, unless we need to keep some of it to meet a legal, tax or accounting obligation or to resolve a dispute.

We use technical and organisational measures designed to protect your personal data, including limiting who can access it. No online service can be completely secure, so please use a strong password that you do not use anywhere else.

If a data breach is likely to put your rights at risk, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as the law requires.

Depending on where you live, you have the right to:

• ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• correct anything that is inaccurate or incomplete
• ask us to delete your personal data
• limit or object to how we use your personal data
• receive your data in a format you can take elsewhere
• withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting anything we did before
• ask for a person to review any decision made about you solely by automated means that significantly affects you

To use any of these rights, email info@breedx.org. We may need to confirm your identity first. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission or your local data protection authority.

BreedX is built for students. If you are under 18, you may only use the Service with the permission of a parent or guardian. If you believe a child is using BreedX without that permission, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

We may update this policy as BreedX grows. The date at the top of this page shows when it last changed. If a change is important, we will let you know by email or in the app before it takes effect.
