🛡️ Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026
Last Updated: September 19, 2026
Publisher: Flügelsoft Labs
Flügel Economics ("we", "our", or "us") is dedicated to providing an elite, open-access, first-principles academic economics treatise and analytical mastery platform for students and scholars preparing for AP Economics, University Degrees, and Economics Olympiads. We are committed to protecting your privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains how our web application and mobile applications (Android and iOS) handle information.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
Flügel Economics is built upon a fundamental privacy-first, educational principle: we do not track, profile, monetize, or harvest personal student data.
- No User Accounts or Sign-ins Required: You can access all curriculum chapters, interactive visual policy labs, formula decks, and student toolkits completely anonymously.
- No Advertising or Commercial Trackers: We do not display third-party advertisements, nor do we partner with ad networks or data brokers.
- No Telemetry or Behavioral Profiling: We do not track your browsing habits, reading speeds, or keystrokes.
- No Invasive Device Permissions: Our Android and iOS applications do not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, location, media files, or calendar.
2. Information Handled Locally on Your Device
To provide a seamless study experience without requiring server logins, certain features store state strictly on your local device:
- Study Schedule & Checklist Progress: Checkbox states on the 30-Day Master Roadmap are saved in your device's browser
localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers. - Interactive Tool Settings: State selections in tools such as the Policy Simulator, Elasticity Calculator, and Flashcard drills are processed entirely client-side.
- Offline Caching: Static web assets (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, KaTeX fonts, SVG diagrams) are cached locally by your browser or native mobile webview to allow fast, offline-capable studying.
You can clear this local data at any time by clearing your browser cache or app storage data in your device settings.
3. Information You Voluntarily Provide
If you choose to contact us via our Contact Editorial Team form, we receive:
- Your name (or pseudonym)
- Your email address
- The content of your inquiry, errata report, or problem submission
This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry, correct reported errors in the treatise, or evaluate academic problem submissions. We never sell, rent, or share your contact information with third parties.
4. Hosting, Infrastructure & Security
- Edge Delivery: Our web platform is distributed globally via Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may process basic server logs (such as IP addresses and user-agent strings) transiently for security purposes, DDoS mitigation, and edge performance optimization.
- Encryption: All network transmissions between your device and our servers are encrypted using standard HTTPS/TLS (Transport Layer Security).
5. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR Compliance)
Flügel Economics is designed for high school, collegiate, and competitive scholars. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under 13.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
