Privacy policy: Plaindeck (working name): Flashcards

Status: this app is in development and has not been released yet. This policy describes what the app is designed to do, as written in its specification; it will be reviewed again before release.

In short

The app is a spaced-repetition flashcard app that reads and writes Anki deck files. It works on your phone only. It has no account, no advertising, no analytics and no crash reporting, and it contains no network code. Nothing is uploaded.

What is stored on your phone

• Your decks, notes, cards, review history, scheduling data, statistics and settings, in a local database inside the app.
• The media files of your cards (images and audio), kept in the app's own storage. While you import or export a deck, temporary files are staged in the app's cache and cleared afterwards.
• Your settings, such as language, theme and study limits, and the time of a study reminder if you set one.

Permissions

• None at start.
• Camera: only when you tap "Take photo" in the card editor, to add a photo to a card. Photos stay on the phone.
• Microphone: only when you choose "Record audio" for a card.
• Photo library: chosen through the system picker, which needs no permission.
• Notifications: only when you set a study reminder.
• Android release builds have no internet permission.

Backup and export

You import decks yourself from files (Anki packages, and text or CSV files) and export your decks back to Anki packages; the file goes where you share it. You decide where files go.

What the app does not do

No advertising, no analytics, no crash reporting, no accounts, no sync service, no network use. Planned store privacy labels: App Store "Data Not Collected"; Google Play collects nothing and shares nothing.
