Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 3, 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account, we collect your email address and a hashed password(we never store your password in plain text). When you use our services, we also collect:

  • Practice question responses and scores (to power your analytics dashboard)
  • Documents you upload for card generation (temporarily stored, deleted within 24 hours)
  • Anki study data encoded in study codes (retention rates by category — no card content)
  • Basic usage data: pages visited, features used, error logs

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and improve our services (explanations, card generation, analytics)
  • To process payments through Stripe (we never see your full card number)
  • To send transactional emails (verification, password reset)
  • To detect abuse and enforce rate limits

We do not sell your data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising.

3. Third-Party Services

  • Stripe — payment processing. Subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy.
  • Anthropic (Claude API) — AI-powered explanations and card generation. Document content is sent to the API for processing but is not stored by Anthropic for training.
  • Resend — transactional email delivery.

4. Data Retention

  • Account data is retained until you delete your account.
  • Uploaded documents are automatically deleted within 24 hours of processing.
  • Quiz session data is retained for the lifetime of your account to power analytics.

5. Your Rights

You can at any time:

  • Access your data through your dashboard and analytics pages
  • Correct your email via account settings
  • Delete your account and all associated data from your dashboard
  • Export your data by contacting support@ankiboss.com

6. Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords (bcrypt), scoped authentication tokens, rate limiting, and security headers. However, no system is 100% secure.

7. Cookies

We use a single authentication token stored in your browser's localStorage. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics cookies.

AnkiBoss is designed for medical students and professionals. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
