Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Privacy Philosophy

At YeBruh (https://yebruh.com), we believe studying should be accessible, private, and frictionless. We do not sell student personal data or participate in invasive cross-site ad profiling.

This Privacy Policy explains what limited information is processed when you access our study guides, test flashcards, and use our homework help tools.

2. Information We Collect

We prioritize minimal data collection:

• Voluntary Submissions: When you post a homework question or comment, you submit text, tags, and selected subject categories. Please avoid including real names, phone numbers, or private student IDs in your public question descriptions.
• Technical Diagnostics: Standard web server logs may temporarily capture aggregated technical details such as your browser type, device operating system, and general referring URL to maintain site performance and prevent DDoS attacks.

3. Cookies & Browser Local Storage

YeBruh utilizes client-side Browser Local Storage (`localStorage`) to deliver an optimal, personalized user experience without requiring mandatory account creation:

• Theme Preference: Storing your chosen Light or Dark mode setting (`yebruh_theme`).
• Saved Study Guides: Storing your bookmarked guide IDs locally on your own device (`yebruh_bookmarks`).
• Voting & Questions: Recording your helpful votes on homework solutions (`yebruh_votes`) and saving locally drafted questions.

Because this data lives directly within your browser's local sandbox, you can clear it at any time by simply clearing your browser history and cache.

4. How We Use Information

Information processed on YeBruh is used solely for:

• Displaying requested study materials, mathematical formulas, and study flashcards.
• Indexing community questions so other learners facing the same homework problems can find step-by-step assistance.
• Preventing malicious bot scraping and maintaining site stability.

5. Children's Privacy & COPPA Compliance

We do not knowingly collect, store, or solicit personally identifiable information (PII) from children under 13 years of age without verifiable parental consent. If you are under 13, please use YeBruh for reading study guides and flashcards anonymously, and do not submit personal contact details.

If we discover that personal information of a child under 13 has been submitted without parental consent, we will promptly delete that data from our records.

6. Third-Party Services & Links

Our guides may occasionally reference external academic documentation (such as university lecture notes or open-access libraries). YeBruh is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites, and we encourage you to review their policies when navigating away from yebruh.com.

7. GDPR & CCPA Rights for Learners

Depending on your location (including the European Economic Area, UK, and California), you possess specific rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Access: The right to request copies of any personal data we hold.
• Right to Erasure: The right to request deletion of your submitted questions or comments.
• Right to Restrict Processing: The right to object to or restrict processing of your data.

8. Data Security Measures

We implement industry-standard encryption protocols (HTTPS/TLS) across all pages of yebruh.com to ensure that communications between your web browser and our servers are encrypted and secure from tampering.

9. Policy Updates & Inquiries

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect enhancements in our study tools or evolving legal standards. Any revisions will be reflected with an updated "Effective Date" at the top of this page.
