We at HappyLecture (together with our affiliates, “HappyLecture”, “we”, “our” or “us”) respect your privacy and are strongly committed to keeping secure any information we obtain from you. This Privacy Policy describes our practices with respect to the personal data (“Personal Data”) we collect from or about you when you use our website at https://happylecture.com (the “Site”), our web application, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).
HappyLecture uses artificial intelligence (“AI”) to help students generate notes from lecture videos and slides. We offer a hybrid Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) pricing model with different tiers:
1. Free: 2 notes (one-time), up to 30 minutes per audio upload
2. Flex (pay-as-you-go): $0.99 per 5 notes, usage-based notes, up to 60 minutes per audio upload
3. Standard (monthly subscription): $9.99 per month, 30 notes per month, up to 180 minutes per audio upload.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to content that we process solely on behalf of third parties under separate contractual arrangements. In those cases, our use of that data will be governed by the applicable agreements.
If you have any questions, you can contact us at hi@happylecture.com.
Personal Data You Provide: We collect Personal Data that you voluntarily provide, for example when you create an account or communicate with us.
Personal Data We Receive From Your Use of the Services: When you visit or use our Services, we automatically collect certain information:
Information We Receive From Other Sources: We may receive information from trusted partners (for example, payment processors or analytics providers) to help us detect fraud, enhance security, and understand user behavior. We may also rely on publicly available information to refine our AI models and improve our Services.
We may use your Personal Data for various purposes, including:
We may aggregate or de-identify Personal Data so it no longer identifies you and use that data for research, analytics, and service improvement.
If we use user-provided Content to improve our AI models, we will do so in accordance with applicable law and only after taking steps to protect user privacy.
We may disclose your Personal Data in the following circumstances:
We retain your Personal Data only as long as needed to provide our Services or for legitimate business purposes (such as legal, security, or compliance reasons). The length of time depends on factors like the nature of the data, our legal obligations, and whether you have chosen to delete your account or request deletion of your Personal Data.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your Personal Data, such as:
To exercise these rights, please contact us at hi@happylecture.com. We may require you to verify your identity before responding.
Our Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from them. If you believe a child under 13 has provided Personal Data to us, please contact us at hi@happylecture.com, and we will take steps to delete it. Users under 18 must have permission from their parent or guardian to use our Services.
We implement measures designed to protect Personal Data against unauthorized access or loss. However, no method of data transmission or storage is completely secure. You should use care when deciding what information to share online.
Certain U.S. states grant additional privacy rights to their residents. Depending on where you live, you may have rights such as knowing how we process your data, deleting or correcting your data, and not being discriminated against for exercising such rights. We do not “sell” Personal Data or “share” Personal Data for cross-contextual behavioral advertising.
If you wish to exercise these state-specific rights, please contact us at hi@happylecture.com.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version and effective date on this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
