Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 25, 2025

Savvy Library ("SavvyLibrary", "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, use our services, or interact with us in any way. By accessing or using Savvy Library, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

This policy is inspired by general best practices for privacy policies, we may update this policy from time to time, and any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information from you in several ways to provide and improve our services. The types of information we may collect include:

Personal Information

Contact Information: Such as your name, email address, phone number, or mailing address, which you provide when subscribing to newsletters, creating an account, or contacting us.
Account Information: Username, password, and preferences if you register for an account on our platform.
Payment Information: If you make purchases (e.g., premium content or courses), we collect billing details like credit card information, but we do not store this data ourselves; it is handled by secure third-party payment processors.

Automatically Collected Information

Usage Data: Details about your interactions with our site, such as pages visited, time spent on pages, links clicked, and search queries.
Device and Browser Information: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, and unique device identifiers.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to track user activity, store preferences, and analyze trends. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Information from Third Parties

We may receive information from third-party services, such as social media platforms (e.g., if you log in via Facebook or Google) or analytics providers like Google Analytics.

We do not collect sensitive personal information (e.g., racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or health data) unless you voluntarily provide it and it is necessary for our services.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To Provide and Improve Services: To deliver content, respond to inquiries, process transactions, and personalize your experience (e.g., recommending resources based on your interests).
Communication: To send newsletters, updates, promotional materials, or respond to your messages. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time.
Analytics and Performance: To analyze usage patterns, troubleshoot issues, and enhance site functionality.
Security and Compliance: To detect and prevent fraud, enforce our terms, and comply with legal obligations.
Marketing and Advertising: To display targeted ads or promotions, either on our site or through third-party networks.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

Service Providers: With trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting business, or servicing you (e.g., payment processors, email service providers, or analytics tools). These parties are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and secure.
Legal Requirements: If required by law, such as in response to a subpoena, court order, or regulatory request.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Aggregated or Anonymized Data: We may share non-personal, aggregated data for research or marketing purposes.

We do not share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without your consent.

4. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. This includes encryption, firewalls, and secure server environments. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a data breach occurs, we will notify affected users as required by law.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have certain rights regarding your personal information:

Access and Update: You can request access to or correction of your personal data by contacting us.
Deletion: You may request deletion of your data, subject to legal obligations (e.g., we may retain certain information for record-keeping).
Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails via the link in our communications or by contacting us. You can also manage cookies through your browser.
Do Not Track: We do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals, as there is no standard for how to interpret them.

For users in certain regions (e.g., EU under GDPR or California under CCPA), additional rights may apply, such as data portability or objection to processing. Contact us to exercise these rights.

6. Children's Privacy

Savvy Library is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware of such data, we will delete it.

7. International Data Transfers

If you are accessing our services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the U.S., where data protection laws may differ. By using our services, you consent to this transfer.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post the revised policy on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance.
