Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
When you register for or use our services, you may voluntarily provide:
- Account Information: Your email address, chosen username, and—in connection with payment processing—your name (collected via Stripe or PayPal).
- Support Communications: Any details you share when contacting us via email or support forms.
- Marketing Preferences: Your selections regarding the receipt of marketing communications when you sign up.
Information Collected Automatically
When you access our services, we automatically capture certain technical and usage data, including:
- Device and Connection Data: Your IP address, browser type, operating system, and device identifiers.
- Usage and Performance Data: Information about your interactions with our services (e.g., which features you use, frequency of access, and performance metrics).
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: We deploy cookies to maintain session information and track interactions related to flashcard, quiz, and note creation. These cookies are essential for our service's functionality and cannot be disabled without affecting performance.
Data Generated Through AI Processing
When you upload documents, images, or text for processing:
- Input Data: The original content is used exclusively to generate AI-driven outputs (flashcards, quizzes, or summarized notes).
- Processed Data: The original inputs are automatically deleted after processing. An AI-summarized version is securely stored to facilitate the generation of related content across our services. This summarized data is retained solely for the purpose of enabling related content generation and service enhancement, and is not subject to any further processing beyond what is expressly described.
How We Use Your Information
We collect and process your personal information for a variety of essential purposes that enable us to provide, improve, and secure our services. Our use of your data is designed to ensure that you receive a personalized and reliable experience while we continually enhance our platform's features. Below, we detail the key areas in which your information is utilized.
Service Delivery and Improvement
Your personal information is vital to the everyday operation of our services. We use the data you provide during registration and through ongoing interactions to set up and maintain your account, verify your identity, and communicate with you regarding service updates or support inquiries. This information helps us personalize your experience—for example, by tailoring the flashcards, quizzes, and notes generated to match your preferences and past interactions. In addition, by analyzing usage patterns and performance data, we identify opportunities for improvement. This continuous process allows us to test new features, fine-tune our AI algorithms, and ensure that our services remain secure, reliable, and responsive to your needs.
Payment Processing and Transaction Management
For the processing of payments, we rely on secure, third-party processors such as Stripe and PayPal. When you subscribe to our services, we only receive the limited information necessary to confirm transactions—such as your name—while full payment details are handled and stored exclusively by these trusted partners. This approach minimizes risk and ensures that your financial data is never directly stored on our systems, thereby enhancing the overall security of your transactions.
Analytics and Marketing
We continuously monitor how our users interact with our platform by using analytical tools like Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. This data enables us to understand usage trends, optimize service performance, and make informed decisions about future developments. In doing so, we can identify which features are most valuable to you and which areas may benefit from enhancement. Additionally, with your consent, we use your contact information to send you marketing communications. These communications may include product updates, promotions, and personalized recommendations. You have control over these preferences and can update them at any time, ensuring that you receive only the information that is relevant to you.
Legal, Security, and Compliance Purposes
We use your personal information to help ensure that our services are not only high quality but also secure and legally compliant. This includes:
- Compliance with Legal Obligations: We process data as required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and court orders, including requests from law enforcement.
- Fraud Prevention and Security: We monitor for, detect, and investigate suspicious activity, protecting our services from misuse and safeguarding your data from unauthorized access.
- Dispute Resolution and Enforcement: In cases where there is a breach of our Terms of Service or other contractual agreements, your information may be used to resolve disputes and enforce our policies.
- Internal Auditing and Improvement: Regular internal audits help us ensure that our processes are in line with our data protection commitments and allow us to continually refine our service delivery.
Third-Party Partners and Data Sharing
We work with a number of trusted third parties to support our services. In doing so, we ensure that all data sharing is strictly governed by contractual agreements and used only for specified purposes, such as service delivery, compliance, and security. For example:
- Payment Processors:
- Stripe and PayPal manage all payment transactions securely and are fully PCI compliant.
- They handle sensitive financial data on their systems, and we only receive the limited information (such as your name) necessary to confirm transactions.
- Analytics Providers:
- Google Analytics helps us monitor service usage, track user interactions, and analyze trends.
- The data collected is aggregated and anonymized, enabling us to improve service performance and user experience without compromising your privacy.
- Content and Video Providers:
- Our integration with YouTube's API enables video content processing on our platform.
- Data shared with YouTube is subject to strict controls and governed by both our contractual obligations and YouTube's privacy policies.
- Service Improvement and Support Vendors:
- Other trusted vendors process data on our behalf for technical support, system maintenance, and feature enhancements.
- These partners are required to adhere to our high data protection standards and use your data only as directed by us.
- Data Protection and Compliance:
- All third-party partners are contractually bound to protect your personal data and ensure its confidentiality.
- They are regularly audited to confirm compliance with applicable laws and our internal data protection policies.
We do not sell your personal information. Any sharing with third parties is solely for the purposes of delivering our services, ensuring regulatory compliance, and enhancing security.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our services use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Ensure Functionality: Maintain sessions and store user preferences essential for flashcard, quiz, and note management.
- Analyze Usage: Collect anonymous data to help us understand how our services are used and to optimize performance.
These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our services and are activated by default. You may disable them through your browser settings; however, please note that disabling these cookies may impact certain features, such as session management and secure access.
Data Retention and Deletion
- Account Information: We retain your personal data as long as your account is active. Upon account deletion, your account information is deleted immediately, except where retention is required or permitted by law for purposes such as fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or other legitimate business purposes.
- Individual Flashcards, Quizzes, and Notes: These remain accessible for a grace period of 30 days following account deletion. This grace period allows you to recover any mistakenly deleted content and ensures service continuity.
- Processed Content: Once documents, images, or text are processed, the original input is deleted immediately. The AI-generated summary is stored securely to facilitate further service features. Certain information may be retained as required by law for fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or other compliance purposes.
Security Measures
We take data security seriously and have implemented robust safeguards, including:
- Encryption: All data is encrypted during transmission and while stored.
- Firewalls and Access Controls: Our systems are protected by firewalls and strict access policies to limit data access only to authorized personnel.
- Third-Party Compliance: Our payment processors and other partners adhere to industry-standard security protocols and regulatory requirements.
International Data Transfers
Revisely serves a global audience, and as a result, your personal information may be transferred, stored, or processed in countries outside your home jurisdiction. Some of these countries may not have data protection laws as comprehensive as those in your own region. To ensure that your data remains secure, we rely on appropriate legal mechanisms—such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission—and, where available, adequacy decisions. We also implement technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal data during transit and storage. Our third-party service providers are contractually required to meet these standards. If you have any questions or concerns about how your data is transferred internationally, please contact with the contact form.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your local laws, you may have the right to:
- Access and Update: Request access to the personal information we hold and ask for corrections if needed.
- Deletion or Restriction: Ask for your data to be deleted or its processing to be restricted, subject to our retention policy.
- Opt Out of Marketing: Adjust your marketing preferences at any time through the settings in your account or via the unsubscribe links in our emails.
- File a Complaint: Contact your local data protection authority if you believe your rights have been infringed.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact with the contact form. We may require verification of your identity before processing your request.
Marketing and Communications
When you sign up for our services, you select your preferences regarding marketing communications. We may send you occasional emails about updates, promotions, and new features. You can modify your preferences or opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link provided in these emails. Even if you opt out of marketing, we will continue to send non-promotional messages related to your account and service notifications.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We periodically review and update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. If significant changes are made, we will notify you via email or through a notice on our website. The updated policy will be posted with a new effective date, and your continued use of our services will signify your acceptance of the revised terms.
Collection of Personal Information from Children
We take the privacy of minors very seriously. We do not intentionally collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. In the event that a child under 13 creates an account with Revisely, we only collect the minimal information necessary to enable the child to access our services. Additionally, a username and password are collected strictly for login purposes, allowing the child to access our AI-powered study tools.
Any information automatically collected from children—such as device data, usage metrics, or cookie data—is processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and used only to support and enhance the functionality of our services. If you are a parent or guardian, you have the right to review, correct, or request the deletion of your child's personal information. To do so, please please contact with the contact form with your details and your child's username. For the protection of the child's privacy, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request. If your child accesses our services through a school or educational institution, please reach out to the school directly for further assistance.
