Privacy Policy

How GoodScores and the Study Guard browser extension collect, use, and protect your information.

Overview

GoodScores (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides a note-taking and study platform at detailednote.app, including the Study Guard Chrome extension. This policy describes what information we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have.

We design Study Guard so that website content is read or sent only when you explicitly choose to save something. We do not sell your personal information.

GoodScores web app

Account information

When you create an account, we collect information such as your email address and display name.

  • Sign-in credentials managed through our authentication provider
  • Profile and settings you choose to save in the app
  • Content you upload or create, including notes, sources, chats, and files

Usage and technical data

We may collect standard service data needed to operate the product, such as device and browser type, approximate region derived from IP address, and error or performance logs.

We use PostHog for limited product analytics such as page navigation, sign-in reliability, study creation, and subscription events. Custom events use an anonymous browser identifier or your internal GoodScores user ID; they do not include your email, name, filenames, uploaded content, or raw error messages. Route analytics keep only the path, remove query strings and shared quiz/reset tokens, and may include opaque record IDs so we can debug a reported run. Session replay is disabled unless we deliberately enable its masked mode.

If you use the feedback widget, PostHog receives the feedback text you intentionally submit. Do not include passwords, payment details, sensitive personal or health information, or private third-party content. We do not attach screenshots or hidden page and form content to feedback.

Web search and imports

When you search for a web source, we send your query to TinyFish. When you select a public URL, TinyFish fetches its text so we can add it to your chat. We do not send your other notes or chats with these requests.

Payments

Polar hosts checkout and subscription management. Polar and its payment processors handle payment details; GoodScores receives subscription, order, and refund status needed to provide and measure paid access. We do not receive full card details.

Study Guard extension

Study Guard is optional. It works with your GoodScores account to block distracting sites during focus sessions and to send web content into your notes when you ask it to.

Stored locally on your device

  • Your block list and session timer settings
  • Active session state
  • Linked account email and connection token

Sent to GoodScores when you take action

  • Page text, selected text, YouTube video references, or screenshots you choose to save
  • Basic extension activity events such as session started, session stopped, or content saved
  • Account link and unlink requests

What Study Guard does not collect

  • A browsing history log of sites you visit
  • Keystroke, mouse, scroll, or general activity monitoring
  • Background reading of page content without your explicit save action

Site blocking

During an active focus session, Study Guard checks whether the current tab matches sites on your block list and redirects blocked pages locally. That check happens on your device. We do not receive a history of every page you visit.

How we use data

  • Provide, maintain, and improve GoodScores and Study Guard
  • Authenticate you and keep your account secure
  • Store and organize the content you choose to save
  • Run focus sessions and site blocking according to your settings
  • Send service-related messages such as account or security notices
  • Diagnose errors and protect against abuse

Sharing and sale of data

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may use infrastructure providers that process data on our behalf to host and operate the service, subject to contractual protections.

We may disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets with appropriate notice where required.

Retention and security

We retain account and content data while your account is active and as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Study Guard settings stored in your browser remain until you remove them or uninstall the extension. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your choices

  • Access and update account information in GoodScores settings
  • Unlink Study Guard from your account in the extension or on the account link page
  • Remove blocked sites, stop sessions, or uninstall the extension at any time
  • Contact us to request deletion of your account, subject to legal retention requirements

Children

GoodScores is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes may also be communicated through the product or by email where appropriate.
