The short version. One person, one dashboard. We record how and where you sign in so we can tell whether it is really you. We do not sell your data, we do not advertise to you, and we do not track you anywhere else on the internet.
Study Hub gives you a private study dashboard at study.cloudnexis.net: your own units, flashcards, quizzes and progress. Access is licensed to one named person. Your activation key, email and password are yours alone and must not be shared, resold or published.
Only what the service needs to work and to stay secure.
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Email address, display name | To identify your account and send verification or account email. |
| Password | Stored only as a salted PBKDF2 hash. We never store or see your actual password. |
| Your study content and progress | Units, cards, quizzes, notes, streaks and mastery, so your dashboard works across devices. |
| Sign-in time, IP address | To secure the account and detect unusual access. |
| Approximate location (country, region, city) and network provider | Derived from your IP by our hosting provider. Used to spot a login from an implausible place, or through a VPN or data centre. |
| Device identifier | A random identifier stored in a cookie so we can recognise a device you have already authorised. It contains nothing about you. |
| Basic device details | Browser and operating system, screen size, timezone, language, processor count, whether the screen is touch. Your browser sends these on every request. They are combined into a one-way hash used only to notice if an authorised device identifier suddenly appears on a clearly different machine. |
Most of it is necessary to perform our contract with you: without an account and your content, there is no dashboard. The security information in section 3 is held under our legitimate interest in preventing account sharing, credential theft and fraud, which also protects you if your password leaks. Where the law requires consent, you give it by ticking the box when you activate your account, and you may withdraw it by closing your account.
Your data is not sold or shared for marketing. It is processed only by:
We will disclose data if we are legally required to. Service data may be processed outside your country; where that happens it is covered by the safeguards our providers offer.
You can ask us to give you a copy of your data, correct it, delete it, or explain what we hold and why. You may also object to the security processing described above, though we may then be unable to keep offering the account. Depending on where you live you may also complain to your local data protection authority.
Email management@cloudnexis.net and we will respond within 30 days.
Passwords are salted and hashed with PBKDF2. Traffic is encrypted in transit. Sessions are bound to a single dashboard and a single device, sign-in attempts are rate limited, and unusual access raises an alert to the administrator. No system is perfect: tell us immediately at the address above if you think your account has been accessed by someone else.
Breaching this may result in your access being suspended or removed.
If we change this in a way that materially affects you, we will say so on the sign-in page. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
