Study Scripts — Privacy Policy

Effective date: 14 November 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Study Scripts Ltd ("Study Scripts", "we", "us" or "our") handles information when you use the Study Scripts app on iPhone, iPad or Android (the "App") and our website, studyscripts.com.

By using the App, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

1. Summary

• We do not sell your personal data, and we do not show ads.

• We do not ask for your name, email address or phone number, and the App has no accounts.

• Your notes, bookmarks and annotations are stored on your device. On iPhone and iPad you can choose to sync bookmarks through your own iCloud account.

• Subscriptions are bought through the Apple App Store or Google Play. We never see your card details.

• When you open a premium mind map, the App sends proof of your subscription to our server so we can check with Apple or Google that it is active.

• We use Firebase Analytics (provided by Google) to understand how the App is used, including the searches you make in the App.

• If you use Community, the ideas you submit and the roadmap items you vote for are stored on our server.

• If you turn on notifications, we store a notification token so we can send them.

• Questions: contact@studyscripts.com

2. Information we collect

Information you give us

• Community ideas and votes. If you submit an idea in Community, we store its title and details, together with your install ID (see below), the platform (iOS or Android) and the app version. If you vote for a roadmap item, we store the vote against your install ID so it is only counted once. Ideas we add to the roadmap may be shown to everyone who uses the App. Please don't include personal information in an idea.

• Feedback emails. If you email us from the App or otherwise, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. The email is sent by your own email app; the App does not read or store it.

Information collected automatically

• Install ID. The App creates a random identifier for each installation. It does not contain your name, email or payment details. We use it to count Community votes once, to prevent abuse, to route notifications and to configure features.

• Notification token. If you allow notifications, Apple (through the Apple Push Notification service) or Google (through Firebase Cloud Messaging) gives the App a token, which we store with your install ID so we can send you notifications.

• Subscription information. To unlock premium mind maps, the App sends our server your App Store transaction information (on iPhone and iPad) or your Google Play purchase token and product (on Android). Our server asks Apple or Google whether the subscription is active, and may remember the answer for up to an hour. We receive details such as the product, the subscription status and whether it is a test purchase. We never receive your payment card or bank details.

• Analytics. Firebase Analytics collects information about how the App is used, linked to a random app instance identifier. This includes:

◦ screens viewed and features used, such as mind maps opened and how long they stay open, bookmarks, flash cards and Community;

◦ the words you type into search and which result you open;

◦ when the subscription screen is shown, the plan chosen and whether a purchase completed;

◦ approximate location (country and city), which Google works out from your IP address;

◦ device type, operating system, app version, and whether the App is a store or test build.

On iPhone and iPad we do not collect the advertising identifier (IDFA). On Android, Firebase Analytics may read the Android Advertising ID; we use it only for analytics, never for ads. You can reset or delete it in your Android settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads). We do not use analytics to track you across other companies' apps or websites.

• Network information. When the App loads mind maps, previews and settings from our servers (operated by Cloudflare), your IP address and basic request details are processed so the content can be delivered, as with any website.

Information that stays on your device

• Notes, bookmarks, annotations, recently opened mind maps, flash card scores and settings are stored on your device. We do not receive them.

• iCloud Sync (iPhone and iPad only). If you turn it on, your bookmarks are stored in your private iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit so they sync between your devices. We cannot access your iCloud account. Android does not sync bookmarks.

3. How we use information

• To provide the App, including unlocking premium content for subscribers.

• To run Community: showing the roadmap, counting votes and reviewing the ideas you send.

• To send notifications you have allowed.

• To understand how the App is used, so we can improve it and decide what to add next (for example, which topics people search for and can't find).

• To keep the App and our servers secure and reliable, including preventing abuse.

• To reply to your emails.

4. How long we keep information

• On your device: until you delete it or uninstall the App.

• iCloud: until you delete the bookmarks or turn off iCloud Sync. Apple controls iCloud retention.

• Community ideas and votes: for as long as the roadmap or idea is relevant. You can ask us to delete your ideas at any time.

• Notification tokens: until they stop working (for example, if you turn notifications off or uninstall the App), after which we remove them.

• Subscription checks: our server keeps the result for up to an hour. Apple and Google keep your purchase history under their own policies.

• Analytics: kept by Google for the retention period set in our Firebase project (no longer than 14 months).

• Emails: for as long as needed to deal with your message.

5. Who we share information with

We do not sell or rent your information. We use these service providers, who process it on our behalf or under their own terms:

• Apple: App Store purchases and subscription checks, iCloud Sync, and notifications on iPhone and iPad.

• Google: Google Play purchases and subscription checks, Firebase Analytics, Firebase Cloud Messaging for notifications on Android, and Google Play features such as in-app reviews and updates.

• Cloudflare: our servers and storage, which deliver the content and store install IDs, notification tokens and Community data.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it.

More information:

• Apple: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

• Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy

• Firebase: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

• Cloudflare: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

6. International transfers

Our service providers may process information outside the UK, including in the United States. Where they do, they use safeguards recognised under UK data protection law, such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or standard contractual clauses.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), restricted access and short-lived signed links for premium content. No system is completely secure.

8. Children

The App is designed for pharmacy students and pharmacists and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you think a child has sent us personal information, email contact@studyscripts.com and we will delete it.

9. Your choices

• Notifications: turn them off at any time in your device settings.

• Community: submitting ideas and voting are optional.

• iCloud Sync (iPhone and iPad): turn it on or off in the App, or turn off iCloud for the App in Settings.

• Analytics: the App does not currently offer a switch to turn analytics off. Uninstalling the App stops all collection. You can also email us to ask us to delete analytics data linked to your install.

• Subscriptions: manage or cancel on iPhone and iPad in Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or on Android in the Google Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Use Restore purchases in the App to restore a subscription.

• Delete data on your device: uninstall the App.

10. Legal bases (UK and EEA)

Under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR we rely on:

• Contract: to provide the App and unlock the subscription you bought, and to send notifications you have allowed.

• Legitimate interests: to understand how the App is used and improve it, to run Community, and to keep our services secure. We have considered your privacy and use random identifiers rather than your name or contact details.

• Legal obligation: where we must comply with the law.

11. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the use of your information, and to data portability. In California you may have rights to know, delete and correct personal information; we do not sell or share personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA.

Because we don't collect your name or email, we may need your install ID to find your information. Email contact@studyscripts.com and we will help. If you are in the UK, you can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

12. Our website

studyscripts.com uses Google Analytics to understand how many people visit and which pages they view, including clicks through to the App Store. See your browser settings to limit cookies.

13. Links to other sites

The App and website link to other sites, such as the App Store, Google Play and reference sources. Their privacy practices are their own.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. We will change the effective date at the top and post the new version here. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the App.
