Privacy Policy & Terms

Last updated: 16 Aug 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to 4LAZIE ("we", "us", or "our"). By visiting or using our platform, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy. Our goal is to provide an excellent and accessible platform for student resources.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information such as your name, email address, academic details, short bio, and social media links (such as LinkedIn or GitHub) when you register or edit your profile. We also collect data on how you interact with our platform to improve our services and provide relevant notes and past papers.

Device & Security Data: To protect your account, we log your IP address, browser type (User-Agent), and active session data. This allows you to view and remotely manage devices logged into your account.

3. How We Use Your Information & Data

The information we collect is used to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain our platform.
• Enhance your experience (e.g., showing courses and materials relevant to you).
• Public Profile Features: Your provided short bio and social media links may be displayed on your public profile to foster a collaborative student community.
• Security & Fraud Prevention: Monitor active devices, send automated security alerts (like password change notifications), and allow you to secure your account if suspicious activity is detected.
• Local Storage & Offline Support: As a Progressive Web App (PWA), we cache certain assets (like styles and scripts) locally on your device to ensure faster load times and offline accessibility.
• Real-time Analytics & Chat: We may track live concurrent user sessions for internal performance scaling. Additionally, we provide real-time messaging with typing indicators; messages are securely stored for support, but typing status data is processed temporarily and not logged.
• Communicate with you regarding updates or support.

4. User Content

Notes, comments, or any documents you upload remain your property, but by uploading, you grant us a license to display and share them with other 4LAZIE students in accordance with our platform's rules.

5. Fair Use

The resources available on 4LAZIE, including past papers and notes, are strictly for academic purposes. Misuse or any attempt to compromise our platform will result in immediate account termination.

6. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties without your consent. This does not include trusted third parties (such as cloud hosting and analytics providers) who assist us in operating our platform, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others' rights, property, or safety.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary to provide you with our services and for legitimate and essential business purposes, such as maintaining the performance of the platform, making data-driven business decisions about new features and offerings, and complying with our legal obligations. If you request, we will delete or anonymize your personal information so that it no longer identifies you.

8. Your Data Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we have about you.
• Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request deletion of your personal data ("Right to be forgotten").
• Opt-out of any future communications or promotional materials.
