Owl Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 30, 2025

Our Approach to Your Data

At Owl, we believe your knowledge and learning data belongs to you. Our spaced repetition application is designed with privacy and data minimalism at its core.

What Information We Collect

We collect only what's necessary for Owl to function effectively:

  • Account Information: Email address and password (encrypted) for account creation and authentication.
  • Learning Content: The flashcards, notes, and study materials you create.
  • Study Data: Your study history, recall ratings, and spaced repetition intervals to optimize your learning experience.

How We Use Your Information

Your information is used exclusively to:

  • Provide and improve the Owl service
  • Optimize your personal spaced repetition schedules
  • Authenticate your account
  • Communicate essential service updates

Data Ownership and Control

  • Your Data Belongs to You: We act as custodians, not owners, of your learning data.
  • Export Anytime: You can export all your data in standard formats at any time.
  • Delete Anytime: You can permanently delete your account and all associated data upon request.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties. Period.

The only exceptions are:

  • When required by law
  • With service providers who help us deliver Owl (with strict confidentiality agreements)

Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. Your password is stored using strong encryption, and all data transfers occur over secure, encrypted connections.

Cookies and Analytics

We use minimal cookies essential for Owl's functionality. We collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the application's performance and user experience. This data is never connected to your personal information.

Changes to This Policy

If we make significant changes to this policy, we'll notify you via email or through the application.

This simple privacy policy reflects our commitment to respecting your data. We built Owl to help you learn better, not to monetize your information.
