Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Learn by Bits ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy while providing an innovative learning platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website, services, and related applications (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • Personal Information: When you sign up or use the Service, we may collect your name, email address, payment information (via Stripe), and other details you provide.
  • Content You Upload: Study materials, lectures, or other data you upload to the Service.
  • Usage Data: Information about your interactions with the Service, such as questions answered, study progress, IP address, browser type, device information, and timestamps.
  • Speech Data: If you use speech-to-text features, we process audio recordings to generate transcripts.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Service (e.g., generating "bits," tracking mastery).
  • Process payments and manage your account balance.
  • Analyze usage patterns to enhance functionality and user experience.
  • Communicate with you about updates, support, or billing.
  • Protect against fraud, abuse, or legal violations.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it as follows:

  • Service Providers: With third parties like Supabase (database), Stripe (payments), Google (AI processing), and Lemonfox (speech-to-text) to operate the Service.
  • Legal Compliance: If required by law, regulation, or legal process.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

5. Data Retention

We retain your information as long as necessary to provide the Service or comply with legal obligations. You may request deletion of your account, but we may retain certain data for legal or operational purposes (e.g., billing records).

6. Security

We implement reasonable security measures (e.g., encryption via pgsodium) to protect your data. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access.

7. Your Rights

You may:

  • Access, update, or delete your account data via the account settings.
  • Request data portability or deletion by contacting us.
  • Opt out of non-essential communications.

California residents have additional rights under the CCPA, including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of data sales (though we do not sell data).

8. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with third-party APIs (e.g., Google, Stripe). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, which we encourage you to review.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not intended for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. Contact us if you believe we have such data.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy at our discretion. Changes will be posted here, and significant updates may be communicated via email or the Service. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
