We only collect the information necessary to provide you with personalized learning roadmaps and academic progression features:

• Account Credentials: Email addresses and securely hashed passwords for local authentication.
• Profile Information: Major, college name, branch, study hours, CGPA, target career goal, skills, and interests.
