Privacy

Reading without an account

Articles are static pages. You can read every article, open every explanation and answer every question without signing in, and none of that is sent anywhere or stored against you.

If you create an account

Then the following is stored:

• Your email address, so you can sign in and recover the account.
• Your password, handled entirely by our authentication provider. We never see or store it.
• The vocabulary and grammar you save: which item, which article you met it in, and when you saved it.

That is the whole list. No name, no profile, no reading history, no record of which articles you opened or how you answered the questions.

Authentication and storage

Accounts and saved items are held in Supabase, which stores the data on its own infrastructure. Access is restricted at the database level so that each account can only read and write its own rows. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages.

Analytics

Cloudflare Web Analytics is enabled. It is cookie-free and does not build a profile of individual visitors; it reports aggregate page views and performance. Standard server logs, including IP addresses, are handled by our host as part of serving the site.

Cookies and local storage

No advertising or tracking cookies are used. When you sign in, your session is kept in your browser’s local storage so you are not asked to log in on every page. Signing out removes it.

Who else sees this

Your data is not sold, and it is not shared for advertising. It is processed only by the infrastructure providers named above, which are needed to run the site.

Keeping and deleting

Saved items are kept until you remove them or ask for the account to be deleted. You can remove any saved item yourself at any time in My Learning, and you can clear everything you have saved from the account page.

To delete your account, write to us and we will remove it together with everything saved under it.

Changes

If what the site does with data changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the top moves. Material changes will not be applied retroactively to data already collected.
