Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 8, 2026

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Spaced: Study Flashcards ("Spaced"), we have a few fundamental principles:

• Your decks, cards and study history are stored only on your device.
• There are no user accounts, no servers of our own and no cloud sync.
• We do not sell your personal information.
• We aim for full transparency about the only third-party data collection in the app: advertising.

Below is our Privacy Policy, which incorporates and clarifies these principles.

Who We Are and What This Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy applies to the Spaced: Study Flashcards mobile application for iOS. Spaced is a spaced-repetition flashcard app: you create or import decks of cards (question and answer) and the app schedules your reviews using the SM-2 algorithm.

Information We Collect

Information You Create or Import

• Decks, notes and cards: The content you write (questions, answers, extra notes and tags) is stored in a local database inside the app on your device. It is never uploaded or transmitted to our servers; we have no servers that receive it.
• Study history: The answers you mark on each review (Again, Hard, Good, Easy), review dates and response time are saved in the same local database, solely to schedule your next reviews and show you the forecast.
• Imported files: When you import a CSV or TXT file from the Files app, the app reads it on your device. When you download it from an HTTPS address you type, the app connects directly to that address to download the file; we do not send your data to that site or to us. The file is processed in memory and no copy is kept.
• Preferences: The app stores preferences on your device such as the text size of the study screen, whether you purchased Spaced Pro, and until when a Study Pass is active.

Information Collected by Third Parties

• Advertising Information: If you have not purchased Spaced Pro, the app shows ads from Google AdMob (banners and, if you choose to, a rewarded video to get a 1-hour Study Pass). AdMob may collect information such as device identifiers, IP address, approximate location derived from the IP, and ad interactions, in order to serve ads, measure their performance and prevent fraud. The study screen never shows ads. See Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Purchases: In-app purchases are processed through Apple's App Store. We do not receive or store your payment information.

The app does not include analytics or tracking tools of its own. The only possible tracking comes from Google AdMob advertising: if you grant the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) permission, AdMob may use Apple's advertising identifier (IDFA) to show you personalized ads and measure their performance. If you do not grant it, advertising will not be used to track you across other companies' apps and websites. See "Consent for Ads" below.

How and Why We Use Information

• To provide our service: To store your decks and cards, schedule reviews and show your progress, all on your device.
• To show ads: If you have not purchased Spaced Pro, AdMob shows ads that help support the app's development.
• To process in-app purchases: We use Apple's StoreKit to process and restore the Spaced Pro purchase.
• To provide customer support: If you write to us, we use your email only to respond to your request.

Consent for Ads

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app will show you a Google consent form (User Messaging Platform) before loading ads, where you can accept or reject the use of your data for advertising purposes. You can change your choice later from the "Privacy Options" item in the app.

In addition, the first time you open the app, iOS will show the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt to ask your permission before AdMob collects data used to track you across other companies' apps and websites. This prompt appears in every region. If you decline it, or if "Allow Apps to Request to Track" is turned off in Settings, the IDFA will not be used to track you. You can change this permission in Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Tracking (deleting and reinstalling the app makes the prompt appear again).

Sharing Information

We do not sell your personal information. The limited sharing that occurs is described below:

• Google AdMob: Receives the advertising information described above directly, under its own privacy policy. With Spaced Pro no ads are shown.
• Apple App Store: Processes in-app purchases and may collect transaction information under its privacy policy.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities. Since we do not store your data on servers, in practice we do not hold your study content.

Third-Party Services

Google AdMob

We use Google AdMob to show ads in the free version of the app. You can stop seeing ads by purchasing Spaced Pro (one-time purchase) or, temporarily, while a Study Pass is active. You can also limit personalized advertising in your device settings.

Your Rights and Choices

• Spaced Pro: You can purchase Spaced Pro to remove all ads.
• Advertising consent: Where applicable, you can review or withdraw your consent from "Privacy Options" in the app.
• Delete your data: You can delete notes and decks inside the app. Uninstalling the app removes all your decks, cards, history and preferences from your device.

Data Retention

Spaced does not store your data on any server. Your content remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app. If you have iOS backups enabled (iCloud or your computer), those backups may include the app's data according to Apple's settings and its own privacy policy.

Security

Because there are no accounts or servers of our own, your study content does not travel over the internet or get stored outside your device, which removes the usual risks of cloud storage. Downloading files from a web address is only allowed over secure HTTPS connections.

Children's Privacy

Spaced is a general-purpose study tool and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review it periodically.
