Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Self Taught University (STU) is operated as a DBA (doing business as) under Envoce Digital. In this policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Envoce Digital operating Self Taught University. This policy explains information handling on this website.

2. Newsletter information you provide

When you sign up, we collect your email address, selected areas of interest, the page where you signed up, and a record of your newsletter consent, including its date and version. We use this information to record your request and prepare relevant story updates.

Newsletter signups are stored in Lovable Cloud. The signup form does not create a website account or require a password. Newsletter delivery has not started, and no newsletter delivery provider is currently connected.

3. Visitor analytics

On our published website, Lovable’s visitor analytics records clicks, page visits, time on page, page speed, and errors for every visitor. We currently have no consent banner connected to this analytics service. Analytics uses no cookies, stores nothing on your device, does not keep IP addresses, and does not identify visitors.

It records the pages visited, where visitors came from, their country, browser, operating system and device type, how long they stay, how fast pages load, errors, and clicks on buttons and links. We do not send additional custom activity events. Detailed data is kept for 90 days and daily summaries for a year. The editor preview is not counted.

Lovable collects this data for us. Lovable’s privacy policy explains how it handles it.

4. Hosting, fonts, and external links

Lovable provides website hosting and Cloud storage for newsletter signup records. Technical requests needed to operate and secure the website may include browser and network information.

Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts. Your browser sends requests to Google to retrieve those fonts, which can include your IP address and request headers. See Google’s privacy policy for its practices.

Articles link to independent sources. When you follow an external link, that website’s privacy practices apply. We currently do not use advertising pixels or embedded third-party videos on our content pages.

5. How we use and share information

We use signup information to maintain newsletter requests and category preferences, and analytics to understand readership, improve performance, and investigate errors. Service providers handling information for these purposes include Lovable and, for font delivery, Google.

If a dedicated newsletter service is connected in the future, relevant signup information will be processed by that service to deliver the updates you requested. We will update this policy to identify it. Information may also be disclosed when legally required or necessary to protect the website and its users.

6. Retention and security

Newsletter records are retained while needed to manage signup requests, subject to deletion requests and applicable legal requirements. No automatic deletion schedule is currently configured. Signup records are not publicly readable through the website. We use access controls to protect stored information, but no system can guarantee absolute security.

7. Your choices and rights

Newsletter signup is optional. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information or withdraw consent. Withdrawing newsletter consent does not affect processing already carried out. For privacy questions, requests about your information, or withdrawal of newsletter consent, contact us at info@selftaughtuniversity.com.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our website and services change. The date above identifies the latest revision. Material changes to newsletter delivery or data practices will be reflected here.
