Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 14, 2026

UniVerse (the "Service") is operated by UniVerse ("we", "us", "our"). This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We aim for plain language; if anything is unclear, email jack@getuniverse.app.

What we collect

Account data

• Email address — for sign-in and password reset.
• Display name (optional) — if you set one in Settings.

Content you create or import

• Notes, highlights, and chats with Cosmo.
• Documents you import from Canvas (slides, readings, syllabi, wiki pages) — text content extracted for search and AI context.
• Class metadata: course names, lecture titles, schedules.
• "User memory" — small, specific facts Cosmo learns from your conversations (your major, what you struggle with, etc.) so it gives better answers. You can review and clear this anytime in Settings → Memory.

Canvas data (if you connect)

• A read-only Canvas access token, used only to read your courses, syllabi, lectures, assignments, and files. We never write to your Canvas account, change grades, or post on your behalf. Disconnect Canvas in Settings and the token is deleted immediately.

Usage data

• Standard server logs (IP address, browser, request paths) for security and debugging, kept briefly.
• Usage counters so we can offer fair limits.

What we don't do

• We don't sell or share your data with advertisers.
• We don't train AI models on your notes. Your content is used to answer your prompts, not to improve any third-party model.
• We don't read your data ourselves outside of debugging an issue you've reported, or as required by law.

Where your data lives

• Account, notes, classes, memory: stored with Supabase, hosted in the United States, encrypted in transit and at rest.
• Local cache: on your device. Cleared when you sign out.
• Our backend: a thin relay we run to extract text from your PDFs and Word docs and forward AI requests. It doesn't keep your uploaded files; only the extracted text is stored under your account.
• AI providers: Anthropic (Claude) and Groq (Llama) receive your prompts and selected context to generate answers. They don't train on API inputs and retain them only briefly for abuse review.
• Payments (only if you upgrade): Stripe processes the transaction. We never see or store your card number.

Your choices

• See what Cosmo knows about you: Settings → Memory. View, delete, or wipe everything.
• Disconnect Canvas: Settings → Canvas → Disconnect. Revokes the token.
• Export everything: Settings → Account → Export data. Download all your notes, classes, and conversations as JSON.
• Delete your account: Settings → Account → Delete. Wipes all account data immediately and irreversibly.

Who this is for

UniVerse is intended for college-age students.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page and email signed-in users.
