Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 7, 2026

1. Introduction

FlashPrep ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our AI-powered flashcard generation service (the "Service"). By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

A. Account Information

  • Identity Data: Email address and name (if provided via Google Sign-In).
  • Authentication Data: Secure tokens provided by Google OAuth. We never see or store your passwords.

B. Usage & Content Data

  • User Content: Text, documents (PDF/DOCX), and notes you submit for processing.
  • Generated Content: The flashcard decks, study history, and edits you create.
  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and interaction logs.

C. Payment Information

We do not store your financial data (credit card numbers). All payments are securely processed by our Merchant of Record, LemonSqueezy. We only receive transaction metadata (e.g., subscription status, plan type, and expiration date) to manage your access.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your data for the following purposes:

  • To provide the core functionality of generating flashcards from your uploaded content.
  • To manage your account and synchronize your decks across devices.
  • To track your study progress and calculate spaced repetition intervals.
  • To communicate important service updates or security alerts.
  • To prevent abuse and ensure the security of the Service.

4. AI Processing

When you submit content to FlashPrep, it is processed by OpenAI's API.

  • No Training on Your Data: We utilize OpenAI's commercial API platform, which ensures that your submitted text and generated flashcards are not used to train OpenAI's models.
  • Ephemeral Processing: Your data is sent to the AI solely for the purpose of generating the response.

5. Data Storage & Retention

A. Source Files (PDFs/Documents)

We do not strictly store your uploaded source files. When you upload a PDF or document:

  • The text is extracted and sent to the AI for processing.
  • The source file is immediately deleted from our temporary storage.
  • We only retain the generated flashcard content in our database.

B. Account Data

We retain your generated decks and study progress as long as your account is active. If you delete your account via the settings page, all your personal data is permanently removed from our live databases.

C. Security

Your data is stored securely using Supabase (database) and Vercel (hosting), which utilize industry-standard encryption at rest and in transit (SSL/TLS).

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We only share data with the following third-party service providers required to operate the Service:

  • OpenAI: For AI text generation.
  • Supabase: For secure database hosting and authentication.
  • LemonSqueezy: For payment processing and tax compliance.
  • Vercel: For web hosting infrastructure.
  • Google Analytics: For understanding how users interact with our Service (see Section 6A below).

A. Analytics & Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous usage data to improve our Service. This includes:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Device type, browser, and general geographic location (country/city level)
  • How you arrived at our site (referral sources)

Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish users. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

7. International Data Transfers

FlashPrep operates globally. Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to—and maintained on—computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer.

8. Your Rights

Regardless of your location, we grant you the following rights:

  • Access: You can view all your saved decks and data within the app.
  • Portability: You can export your flashcards at any time via the "Export" feature.
  • Deletion: You can delete your account and all associated data instantly via the Settings page.

9. Children's Privacy

FlashPrep is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you are a resident of a country where the age of digital consent is older than 13 (e.g., 16 in certain regions), you must meet that age requirement to use the Service. If we discover that a child has provided us with personal data in violation of this rule, we will delete it immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.
