Privacy policy

Last updated 24 October 2026

The short version

We only collect what we need to run RemiStudy for you.
We never sell your information and we don't show adverts.
Your notes and cards are only used to make your flashcards, plans and mind maps.
You can delete your account, and everything in it, at any time from the Account menu.
You need to be 13 or over to use RemiStudy.

1. Who we are

RemiStudy (remistudy.com) is created and run by Finley Austin, based in England. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Finley Austin, the creator of RemiStudy. We are the “controller” of your personal information under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).

Questions or requests about your information: hello@remistudy.com.

2. What we collect

When you create an account

Your email address and password. Passwords are stored securely by our database provider and we can never see them.
If you sign in with Google or Apple, the name and email address they share with us. With Apple you can choose to hide your email, and we only receive a private relay address.
The username and animal avatar you choose.

When you use RemiStudy

Your study material: folders, flashcards, pictures you add to cards, mind maps, study plans, key dates and anything you paste or upload for the AI to use.
Your progress: how you rate cards, your answers to questions, mistakes, XP, level, rank, streaks and breathing sessions.
Social features: your private friend code, friends you add, friend requests, cheers you send and receive, milestones, notifications, revision rooms you create or join, people you block, and any reports you make or that are made about you.
Your settings: your plan, home screen layout, colours, banner and reminder choices.
AI usage: how many times a day you use each AI feature, so we can apply fair-use limits.
Basic technical information: like your IP address and browser type, which our hosting providers handle to deliver the site securely and block abuse.

We don't ask for your date of birth, address, phone number or school, and we don't need any special category information (such as health) about you. Please don't put sensitive personal information about yourself or anyone else into your cards or notes.

3. How we use it, and why we're allowed to

What we do	Our lawful basis
Create and run your account, save your cards and progress, and show them back to you	To provide the service you've asked for (contract)
Turn your notes into flashcards, mind maps and study plans, mark written answers and answer your questions with AI	Contract
Show your username, avatar, level and XP on leaderboards and to friends, and share milestones with friends	Contract, and our legitimate interest in running the competitive and social parts of RemiStudy. You can turn milestone sharing off in Social.
Send emails you need, like confirming your email address or resetting your password	Contract
Browser notifications for breathing reminders	Your consent, which you can withdraw in Breathe or your browser settings
Keep RemiStudy secure, stop cheating and spam, apply fair-use limits, log you out after 30 minutes without activity, and review reports of unsafe or unkind behaviour to keep users safe	Legitimate interests
Manage your plan, free trial and any payments	Contract, and our legal obligations (for example keeping tax records)

We don't use your information for advertising, we don't build marketing profiles, and we don't make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects.

4. How the AI works with your information

When you use an AI feature, the text, files or pictures you give it (and the cards it's working on) are sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, to produce the result. Under its commercial terms, Anthropic doesn't use this content to train its models, and may keep it only for a short time to check for misuse. AI answers can be wrong, so always check them against your course material.

We share information only with the companies that help us run RemiStudy, and only what they need:

Supabase stores your account, study material and progress in the UK or EU, and handles sign-in.
Cloudflare hosts the website and our AI service, and helps block bots and attacks.
Anthropic provides the AI features (see section 4).
Resend sends account emails such as sign-up confirmations and password resets.
Google and Apple, if you choose to sign in with them.
Stripe, once paid plans are available, to take payments. We never see or store your full card details.

Other RemiStudy users can see your username, avatar, level, rank and XP on leaderboards. Friends can see your milestones (unless you turn this off), and people in a revision room can see the folders shared in that room and the room leaderboard.

We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of our users or the public.

6. International transfers

Some of our providers (including Anthropic, Resend, Cloudflare, Google and Apple) are based in, or may process information in, the United States or elsewhere outside the UK. When that happens we rely on UK adequacy regulations (such as the UK–US data bridge) or approved safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to protect your information.

7. How long we keep it

We keep your account and study material for as long as you have an account.
If you delete your account, we delete your information straight away. Copies in our providers' backups are removed automatically within 30 days.
Daily AI usage counts are kept for up to 90 days. Records of AI-written cards are kept for up to 60 days.
If we ever need to keep something longer, for example payment records for tax, we only keep what the law requires.

8. Cookies and your device

RemiStudy doesn't use advertising or tracking cookies. We use your browser's storage only for things the site needs to work, like keeping you signed in and remembering your theme and home screen. Because these are strictly necessary, we don't need to ask for consent first.

9. Young people

You must be 13 or over to use RemiStudy. If you're under 18, we recommend you let a parent or carer know you're using it. We design RemiStudy with the UK Children's Code in mind: we don't show adverts, we don't sell data, we collect as little as we can, and the social features only share milestones with people you've added as friends, friends can only be added with a private friend code (not by searching usernames), and anyone can block or report another user. If we learn that someone under 13 has created an account, we'll delete it. If you think this has happened, email hello@remistudy.com.

10. Your rights

You have the right to:

ask for a copy of your personal information;
ask us to correct anything that's wrong (you can change most things yourself in the app);
ask us to delete your information. You can do this yourself any time: Account menu → Delete account;
object to, or ask us to restrict, how we use your information;
withdraw consent where we rely on it, such as for notifications.

To make a request, email hello@remistudy.com from the address on your account. We'll reply within one month.

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, please tell us first. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or 0303 123 1113.

11. Keeping your information safe

Your information is sent over encrypted connections and stored with providers who use strong security. Inside our database, strict rules mean each person can only read and change their own study material. Please use a strong password that you don't use anywhere else.

12. Changes to this policy

If we make important changes, we'll let you know in the app or by email before they take effect. The date at the top shows when this policy last changed.
