Privacy Policy for StudyCards.app

Last updated October 31, 2026.

This policy explains what StudyCards.app collects, why, who else handles it, and how you can delete it. The short version: we keep what's needed to run your account and your decks, we don't show ads, and we don't sell your information.

What we collect

  • Your account: your username, your email address, a securely hashed version of your password, and the theme you choose. We can't read your password.
  • What you create: your decks and cards, including their titles, descriptions and whether they are public or private.
  • How you use decks: the decks you favorite and rate, and the 10 public decks you studied most recently. Decks also keep a count of how many times they've been studied, which doesn't identify you.
  • Security records: failed sign-ins and similar attempts are counted so we can stop password guessing. These records store a one-way hash, not your IP address or username, and are deleted within about a day.
  • Server logs: our web host records standard details of each request, such as IP address, browser type, page requested and time. We use these to run and protect the site.

Public decks

A deck you mark as public can be seen and studied by anyone with a StudyCards.app account. Your username is shown with it. Private decks are only visible to you. You can change a deck between public and private at any time.

Cookies and browser storage

We use one cookie, which keeps you signed in and protects forms. It ends when you close your browser. We also keep small notes in your browser's session storage, such as which list to return to after studying, and these never leave your browser. There are no advertising or analytics cookies.

Who else handles your information

  • Brevo sends our emails, such as password resets. It receives your email address and the content of the message. See Brevo's privacy policy.
  • Our hosting provider stores the site and its database.

We don't sell your information or share it for advertising. We may disclose information if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and decks until you delete them.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time from the Account page. This immediately and permanently removes your account, your decks and cards, and your favorites and ratings. Your public decks disappear for everyone. Copies in server backups, if any, are removed as those backups expire. If you can't sign in, contact us and we'll help.

Children's information

StudyCards.app does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you think your child has given us this kind of information, please contact us and we will promptly remove it.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update it here and change the date at the top.
