Privacy Policy
Plain language. No surprises.
01Who we are
Recall is a flashcard application developed and operated by Recall Labs (“we”, “us”, “our”). This policy explains what data we collect when you use Recall, how we use it, and the choices you have.
02What we collect
We collect the minimum data necessary to run the service:
- Email address: required to create an account. Used for authentication only.
- Name: the first name you optionally provide in-app. Stored locally and in your Supabase profile.
- Payment status: whether your account has a paid licence. Stored in your Supabase profile. We never see or store your card details.
- Trial start date: the date your 14-day free trial began. Stored in your Supabase profile to determine access.
That is the complete list of data we hold on our servers. Nothing else.
03What stays on your device
All flashcard and study data is stored locally on your device and never uploaded to our servers:
- Decks and cards: stored at
%APPDATA%\Recall\recall-data.jsonon Windows (equivalent paths on Mac and Linux). - Study history, XP, streaks, and settings: stored in the same local file.
- Profile picture:stored in your browser's localStorage as a base64-encoded image. Never uploaded.
Your flashcard data is yours. We cannot see it, access it, or recover it if you delete it.
04Authentication
Recall uses Supabase for account authentication. When you sign in, Supabase handles your credentials. We store only your email, name, payment status, and trial start date in your Supabase profile. We do not use Supabase for syncing flashcard data.
05Payments
Payments are processed by Stripe. When you purchase Recall, you enter your payment details directly on Stripe's secure checkout page. We never see, receive, or store your card number, expiry date, or any other payment details. Stripe may retain payment records in accordance with their own privacy policy.
After a successful payment, Stripe notifies our backend, which updates the is_paid field on your profile to true. That is the only record we keep.
06No advertising, no data selling
We do not run advertising. We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with third parties for any marketing or profiling purpose. We do not use any third-party analytics or tracking services. The business model is selling software, not selling users.
07How we use your data
- To authenticate you when you sign in.
- To determine whether your account is in a free trial or has a paid licence.
- To send you a single launch notification if you joined the waitlist (one email only).
- To respond to support requests you send us.
08Data retention
Your account data (email, name, payment status, trial start date) is retained for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account from within the app, your Supabase profile is deleted within 30 days. Your local data is deleted when you uninstall the app or manually remove the data file.
09Your rights
- Access: your local data is always accessible directly on your device.
- Deletion: you can delete your account from the Profile screen in the app. This removes your Supabase profile. Your local data remains until you remove it yourself.
- Correction: you can update your name and email from the Profile screen at any time.
If you are in the European Economic Area, you have additional rights under the GDPR. To exercise any of these rights, email support@recalllabs.net.
10Cookies
The Recall desktop app does not use cookies. The Recall website uses only essential cookies required for the site to function. No tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or advertising cookies are used.
11Children
Recall is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
12No refunds
All sales are final. We do not offer refunds on purchases of Recall. Please try the 14-day free trial before purchasing to make sure Recall is right for you.
13Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated to active users by email.
14Contact
