1. Information We Access

To provide AI-driven learning features, the app requires access to several device features: - Local Learning Data: All student profiles, scanned textbook images, and generated study materials are stored locally on your device using a Room database. - Camera & OCR: The app uses your device's Camera to scan textbooks and handwritten notes using Google ML Kit on-device OCR. - AI Question Generation: When you generate practice quizzes, extracted text is processed by AI services (such as Gemini or Google ML Kit). This processing is used strictly to generate educational content. - Storage: Required to save generated flashcards, study streaks, and progress reports locally on your device.

• No Account Required: You can use all features of Study Companion without creating an account or providing personal identifying information.
• No Data Sharing: We do not sell or share your scanned notes or study patterns with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

3. User Control
