Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how EarnIt Learning LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“StudyBucky,” “we,” or “us”), collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website, our iOS and Android mobile apps, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). The mobile apps present the same StudyBucky experience as the website and are covered by this same Policy.

The Service is intended for users located in the United States. We do not target the Service to, or knowingly provide it to, individuals located outside the United States, and your information is processed and stored in the United States.

1. Information we collect

  • Account information — your email address and authentication details, managed through our authentication provider (Supabase). If you use Google sign-in, we receive basic account information from Google to create your account.
  • Study activity — your diagnostic results, practice answers, progress, and flashcard data, so we can personalize your prep.
  • Payment information — if you subscribe, payment is processed by Stripe. We do not store your full card number; Stripe handles that and shares limited billing metadata with us.
  • AI chat content — when you use “Ask Bucky” or other AI features, the messages you send and limited context about the page you’re on are processed to generate a response and are stored to maintain your conversation history. To answer, your question is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) and to an embedding provider (Voyage AI) that finds the relevant reference material. Please don’t enter sensitive personal or patient information into AI features.
  • Usage and device data — basic analytics (e.g. pages viewed, referring page, general location, and performance metrics) and, for security and abuse-prevention, your IP address. We collect this through Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager), Vercel Analytics, PostHog (product analytics, which may include session replay that records your interactions with a page—such as clicks, navigation, and scrolling—so we can diagnose issues and improve the Service), and our error-monitoring provider (Sentry).
  • Mobile app data — if you install our iOS app and allow notifications, we store a device notification token so we can send study reminders (for example, a prompt the day before the exam date you enter, or a note that flashcards are due). These are delivered by Apple’s Push Notification service. You can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings, and we delete tokens that are no longer valid. The apps do not collect advertising identifiers and do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
  • Voice input — if you use a feature that lets you speak your answer, the transcription is done by the speech recognition built into your own browser or device. Your audio does not pass through our servers and we never receive or store it. Note that some browsers perform this by sending the audio to their own vendor’s speech service — Chrome sends it to Google — so that vendor’s privacy policy applies to the audio, not ours. We only access the microphone while you are actively using that feature, and only after your device asks your permission.

2. How we use your information

  • To provide, personalize, and improve the Service;
  • To process payments and manage your subscription;
  • To communicate with you about your account and support requests;
  • To maintain security, monitor for errors, and prevent abuse.

3. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share data only with the service providers that operate the Service on our behalf, and only as needed to provide the Service or when required by law. These providers include:

  • Supabase — database and authentication;
  • Stripe — payment processing;
  • Anthropic — the AI that powers “Ask Bucky”;
  • Voyage AI — generates search embeddings so Ask Bucky can find material relevant to your question;
  • Vercel — hosting and analytics;
  • PostHog — product analytics, funnels, and session replay;
  • Google — analytics (Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager) and, for tutoring, scheduling and video calls;
  • Sentry — error monitoring and diagnostics;
  • Resend — transactional and account email delivery;
  • Apple — delivers push notifications to iOS devices;
  • Cloudflare — bot and abuse detection on sign-in;
  • Braintrust — quality monitoring of Ask Bucky’s answers;
  • Twilio — text-message reminders for tutoring appointments, if you book one.

4. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to run the Service—most importantly to keep you signed in (authentication session cookies)—and analytics cookies (including Google Analytics and PostHog) to understand usage and improve the Service. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not sell or “share” (as those terms are defined under state privacy laws) your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Because we don’t engage in that kind of sale or sharing, there generally isn’t one to opt out of—but where a legally-recognized browser opt-out signal (such as Global Privacy Control) applies, we honor it as required by law. We do not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals, which are a separate, non-standardized mechanism from Global Privacy Control.

5. Data retention

We retain your account, study, and Ask Bucky conversation data for as long as your account is active. Analytics and error-monitoring data are retained on a rolling basis according to those providers’ standard retention periods. You can delete your account and associated data—including your Ask Bucky chat history—yourself at any time, from your Dashboard or in the app, using “Delete my account”; you can also ask us to do it (see Contact below). We will delete it except where we must keep limited records to comply with law (for example, billing and tax records) or in backup/archival copies until they naturally cycle out per our standard backup schedule.

6. Your rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of it (we do neither). California residents (CCPA/CPRA), and residents of other states with comprehensive privacy laws, may request access to or deletion of their personal information, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below; we may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

Deleting your account. You do not need to contact us to delete your account. Sign in, open your Dashboard (in the app or on the website), and choose Delete my account. This permanently deletes your account and study data and cancels any active subscription. You can also start this from studybucky.com/account-deletion, or email us and we will do it for you.

7. Security

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your data, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Third-party links

The Service may link to third-party websites. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their privacy practices. This Policy applies only to information we collect directly through the Service.

9. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated date.

11. Mobile apps and the app stores

Our iOS and Android apps are distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Those stores collect their own information about downloads and purchases under their own privacy policies, which we don’t control. Subscriptions are purchased on our website rather than inside the apps. The apps request device permissions only when a feature needs them—notifications for study reminders, and the microphone for voice input—and you can change your mind at any time in your device settings. We do not collect advertising identifiers and do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites, so the apps do not present an app-tracking permission prompt.
