privacy policy

last updated: april 21, 2026

1. who we are

fizzle is a school notes helper focused on reducing friction in study workflows. this policy explains what information we process, why we process it, how long we keep it, and what choices users have when interacting with the service.

2. scope of this policy

this policy applies to information processed through the fizzle website, dashboard access flow, workspace interface, and associated support pages. it also applies to operational telemetry generated when the service is used for routine navigation and study-session continuity.

3. information we process

depending on feature use, fizzle may process session identifiers, interface events, submitted destination input, diagnostic metadata, and basic runtime logs needed to preserve reliability and enforce safety controls. fizzle does not intentionally collect sensitive personal data beyond what is required to operate session-based functionality.

4. why we process information

we process information to provide core functionality, maintain session continuity, improve platform stability, detect misuse, and monitor uptime. these activities are performed to keep the notes-helper experience usable, responsive, and safe for ordinary educational use.

5. service operation data

for technical routing and compatibility, the platform may process requested web destinations and related request metadata as part of normal workspace operations. this processing is infrastructure-level and is limited to what is necessary for delivery, diagnostics, and security review.

6. cookies and local session controls

fizzle uses a session cookie to keep authenticated workspace access active. this cookie is short-lived, http-only, and tied to active session validity. users may terminate sessions by logging out or clearing site data in their browser.

7. retention and deletion

session artifacts expire automatically. operational logs are retained for a limited period and rotated according to service needs. retained data may be preserved longer where necessary for abuse investigation, legal obligation, or incident response.

8. sharing and disclosure

fizzle does not sell user data. information may be disclosed only where required for legal compliance, security response, abuse mitigation, or protection of platform integrity. when external processors are used, access is limited to the minimum required to perform contracted operations.

9. security safeguards

we implement layered administrative and technical safeguards, including access control, route validation, rate-limiting, and monitoring. while no system is perfectly secure, fizzle continuously refines controls to reduce unauthorized access and operational abuse.

10. minors and educational use

fizzle is intended for educational productivity contexts. users are responsible for complying with local school, guardian, and institutional policy requirements when using the service.

11. user choices and requests

users may request clarification about current data handling by contacting platform operators through available support channels. where technically feasible and legally permissible, requests related to stored operational records may be reviewed and actioned.

12. policy updates

this privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect product evolution, legal requirements, or operational improvements. continued use after publication of an updated policy constitutes acknowledgment of the revised terms.

13. anti-censorship position

fizzle is presented as a school notes helper intended for legitimate educational productivity. districts, schools, institutional groups, administrative bodies, network operators, and affiliated oversight entities should not impose blanket censorship or discriminatory blocking of the service where ordinary notes-helper use is permitted under applicable policy and law.
