Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 8, 2026
Not legal advice. This accurately describes what the app actually collects and where it goes as of today, but hasn't been reviewed by a lawyer — especially relevant if you plan to serve users outside the US (GDPR, etc. add requirements not covered here).
1. What We Collect
Account info: email address and, if you provide it, your name — collected when you sign up. Usage & progress: quiz attempts and scores, course activity, posts and comments you make on the community wall. Intake questionnaire: your answers about your NAVLE timeline, preparation, study habits, schedule and goals. Payment info: handled entirely by Stripe — we receive confirmation that a payment succeeded and its amount, never your full card number.
2. How We Use It
To run your account and track your plan's access window, show your quiz results and progress, display your name/posts to other members on the community wall, process payments, and build your personalized study plan. We don't sell your personal data.
3. Who We Share It With
Only the service providers that make the Service work: Supabase (database, authentication, hosting for your account and progress data), Stripe (payment processing), Vercel (application hosting, and basic anonymized traffic analytics — no advertising cookies), and Anthropic (the Claude AI model that writes your study plan). For your study plan we send Anthropic your Initial Diagnostic results and your questionnaire answers, without your name, email, phone number, school or location. Live sessions are hosted on Google Meet; joining one is subject to Google's own privacy policy.
4. Where Your Data Is Stored
Your account and progress data, including your community posts and any lesson videos, are stored by Supabase on servers in Canada (Montreal). Our other service providers (Stripe, Vercel, Google and Anthropic) may process data in the United States and other countries. By using the Service, you understand that your information may be stored and processed outside your home state or country, where privacy laws may differ from those where you live. We use these providers' standard security protections wherever your data is held.
5. Data Retention & Deletion
We keep your account and progress data for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at info@vet-pearls.com. Some records (e.g. payment history) may be retained longer where required for tax or legal purposes.
6. Security
Passwords are never stored in plain text (handled by Supabase Auth). Database access is restricted by row-level security policies scoped to your own account. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.
7. Children's Privacy
The Service is intended for adults pursuing veterinary licensure and isn't directed at children under 16. We don't knowingly collect data from children.
8. Your Rights
You can access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting info@vet-pearls.com.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy occasionally. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page.
