Students Squad (“Students Squad”, “we”, “us”, “our”) provides a mobile application that helps subscribed students discover and redeem discounts at participating stores (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you use the App.

By using Students Squad, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

  1. Information We Collect

A. Information you provide

  • Account information: name (or nickname), email address, phone number (optional), password or sign-in method.
  • Student verification information: information needed to confirm student eligibility (for example: university email, institution name, enrollment status, or a photo/scan of a student ID if you choose to provide it).
  • Support and communications: messages you send to support, feedback, and any information you include in requests.

B. Subscription and payment information
Subscriptions may be processed through Apple App Store and/or Google Play. We generally do not receive your full payment card details. We may receive limited billing-related info such as subscription status, product type, and transaction identifiers to confirm access.

C. Automatically collected information

  • Device and app data: device model, OS version, language, app version, unique device identifiers (as permitted), and diagnostic data.
  • Usage data: features you use, screens viewed, taps/clicks, referral source, and offer interactions (e.g., viewed/claimed/redeemed).
  • Log and crash data: error reports and performance data to improve stability.

D. Notifications
If you enable push notifications, we may send alerts about new discounts, expiring offers, or account/security updates. You can turn notifications off anytime in your device settings.

  1. How We Use Your Information
    We use information to:
  • Create and manage your account.
  • Verify student eligibility and maintain student-only access.
  • Provide subscribed access to discounts and redemption features.
  • Personalize and improve offers (e.g., categories, nearby stores, recommendations).
  • Communicate with you (support, updates, service messages, security alerts).
  • Prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access.
  • Monitor performance, troubleshoot bugs, and improve the App.
  1. How We Share Your Information
    We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in these cases:

A. With service providers
We may share limited information with trusted vendors who help operate the App (e.g., hosting, analytics, crash reporting, customer support tools). They are allowed to use data only to provide services to us.

B. With participating stores (discount partners)
When you redeem an offer, we may share confirmation details needed to validate eligibility and prevent abuse (for example: verification status, or account identifier). We aim to avoid sharing more than necessary, and we do not share your full student documents with stores unless you explicitly choose to.

C. For legal and safety reasons
We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Students Squad, users, partners, or the public.

D. Business transfers
If we’re involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

  1. Student Verification Data
    Student verification data is used only to confirm eligibility for student-only discounts and to maintain access rules.You can request deletion of verification documents as described below.
  2. Data Retention
    We keep personal information only as long as necessary to:
  • Provide the App and subscription access,
  • Meet legal/accounting requirements,
  • Resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and prevent fraud.
    Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and legal requirements.
  1. Security
    We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You can also:

  • Disable notifications in your device settings.
  • Manage your subscription in Apple App Store / Google Play settings.

To exercise rights, contact us using the details in the “Contact Us” section.

  1. Children’s Privacy
    Students Squad is intended for users who are eligible students. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age where parental consent is required in your country. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
  2. International Data Transfers
    Your information may be processed in countries other than where you live, which may have different data protection laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.
  3. Third-Party Links and Services
    The App may include links to third-party websites or services (e.g., partner store pages). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we are not responsible for them.
  4. Changes to This Policy
    We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are significant, we will provide notice in the App or by other appropriate means. The “Effective date” above shows when this policy was last updated.
