Flashcards

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you use Flashcards (the "App").

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

1.1 Information You Provide to Us

When you use the App, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including:

  • Account information: If you choose to create an account, we may collect your email address and other account credentials.
  • User-generated content: This includes the flashcards, decks, notes, and other materials you create or upload through the App.
  • Communications: If you contact our customer support, we may collect information from your communications with us.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you use the App, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and usage of the App, including:

  • Device information: We collect information about the device you use to access the App, including the device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information.
  • Usage data: We collect information about how you use the App, such as the features you use, the actions you take, the time and duration of your activities, and the frequency of your use of the App.
  • Location information: The App does not collect precise location information from your device. However, we may infer your approximate location based on your IP address.

1.3 Local-First Data Storage

Flashcards employs a local-first design philosophy, which means that all your personal data, including flashcards, decks, and learning progress, is stored locally on your device. This data is not automatically sent to our servers unless you explicitly choose to back up or sync your data.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the App and its features;
  • Personalize your experience with the App;
  • Develop new features and functionality;
  • Understand how users interact with the App;
  • Provide customer support;
  • Prevent fraud and enhance the security of the App;
  • Comply with applicable laws and regulations;
  • Enforce our Terms of Service;
  • Respond to your requests, questions, and feedback.

3. SHARING YOUR INFORMATION

We do not share your personal information with third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy:

3.1 Service Providers

We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as:

  • Cloud storage providers (if you choose to back up your data);
  • Analytics providers to help us understand how users interact with the App;
  • Customer support services to assist with user inquiries.

These service providers are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide these services to us and are obligated to protect your information.

3.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if we believe that such disclosure is necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request;
  • Protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our users, or others;
  • Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities;
  • Enforce our Terms of Service.

3.3 Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice in the App of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

4. DATA RETENTION

Since Flashcards uses a local-first design, your data remains on your device until you choose to delete it. If you create an account or choose to back up your data to our servers, we will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the App's services. If you delete your account, we will delete your information from our servers, except as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

5. YOUR RIGHTS AND CONTROLS

You have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

5.1 Access and Correction

You can access and edit most of your personal information directly through the App. For other information, you may contact us to request access to or correction of your personal information.

5.2 Deletion

You can delete your local data by uninstalling the App or using the data deletion features within the App. To delete your account and any data stored on our servers, please contact us at the email address provided below.

5.3 Data Portability

You can export your flashcards and other user-generated content from the App using the export features provided within the App.

5.4 Opting Out

You can opt out of certain data collection by adjusting your device settings or the settings within the App. Please note that some features of the App may not function properly if you opt out of certain data collection.

6. SECURITY

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. The local-first design of Flashcards adds an additional layer of security by keeping your data on your device rather than on external servers.

7. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.

8. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by email or by posting a prominent notice in the App prior to the effective date of the changes. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates.
