Privacy policy

What we collect

Account: your email address, and a password if you choose to set one. Passwords are stored only as hashes by our authentication provider. If you sign in with a magic link, we hold no password at all.

Study activity: which cards you review, how you rate them, the review schedule that produces, your streak, daily goal and interview date if you set one, cards you save, notes you write, and answers you draft. This is the product; without it we cannot schedule your reviews or show your progress.

Reminder settings: whether study reminders are on and the time of day you picked. These stay on your device and are not sent to us.

Technical: our hosting providers keep standard server logs, including IP address and request time, for security and debugging.

We do not collect your name, contacts, location, photos, or device identifiers for advertising. Neither the app nor the website includes advertising networks or third-party analytics SDKs.

How we use it

To run the service: sign you in, schedule your reviews, sync progress between your devices, show your progress, and answer support requests.

We do not sell personal data, and we do not use it for advertising.

Where it is kept

Your account and study data are stored by Supabase, our database and authentication provider, in the United States. The website is hosted by Vercel. Account emails (sign-up confirmations, sign-in links and password resets) are sent through Google Workspace, which also holds the email you send to support@ibreps.com. Each of these processes data only to provide its service to us.

On your device, the app keeps your sign-in session in the system keychain, a queue of reviews made while offline until they have synced, your deck filter preferences and your place in the current deck, and your reminder settings.

On the website, your browser keeps one cookie that remembers your light or dark theme for a year, and browser local storage keeps you signed in, holds reviews you make until they reach our servers, and remembers your deck filters and your place in the current deck. None of this is used for analytics or advertising, nothing on the site tracks you across other websites, and we do not respond to Do Not Track signals because we do no tracking to turn off.

Study reminders are local notifications. The app schedules them on your device from your reminder settings, and they are never sent by our servers. You can turn them off in the app or in your device settings at any time.

Retention and deletion

We keep your data while your account exists. Delete your account from the Account screen in the app or from Settings on the website. This permanently removes your account and all of your study data. It cannot be undone.

Signing out of the app ends your session and clears, on that device, your saved place in a deck, your reminder settings, and any reminders that have not been delivered yet; reviews still waiting to sync stay on the device until you sign in again, so they are not lost. Deleting the app removes what it stored on the device, except that iOS can keep the sign-in session in the keychain, so sign out first if you want that gone too. Server logs are kept for a limited period and then discarded.

Sharing

We share personal data only with the providers named above, only so they can provide their service to us, and when the law requires it. We do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.

Children

IB Reps is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

Your choices

The iOS app requires an account. The website lets you study cards without one, in which case we collect nothing about you beyond server logs.

You can delete your account and all of its data yourself at any time, as described above. To ask for a copy of your data, or with any other question about it, contact us at the address below.

Changes

When this policy changes, the effective date at the top changes with it. If a change matters to you, we will say so in the app or by email before it takes effect.
