Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 17, 2026

Dechen Study is a study app for Buddhist texts, guided reading, quizzes, and optional account features. This page explains what data the app may collect, how it is used, and how to request help or deletion.

Information We Collect

• Email address and authentication data if you create an account or sign in using Supabase authentication.

• App usage events, such as screens opened, reading or quiz activity, and notification interactions, when analytics is enabled for the configured environment.

• A coarse country code derived from your network request to help us understand regional usage.

• On-device preferences such as selected texts, reminder choices, and notification timing.

How We Use Information

• To create and secure your account.

• To provide study features, optional reminders, and account recovery.

• To understand app usage and improve the product.

• To operate app administration features such as announcement targeting for signed-in users.

Third-Party Services

Dechen Study uses Supabase for authentication and backend data services. It may also use ipapi.co to determine a coarse country code for usage analytics. These providers process data according to their own privacy terms.

Notifications

If you enable daily reminders, notification preferences are stored on your device and local notifications are scheduled there. You can turn reminders off at any time in the app’s Settings screen.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers needed to run the app, such as Supabase and the limited analytics services described above.

Retention and Deletion

On-device preferences remain on your device until you remove the app or clear them through app settings. Account and backend records may be retained until they are no longer needed to operate the service or until you request deletion, subject to legal or security needs.

Your Choices

• You can use most reading features without signing in.

• You can disable daily notifications in Settings.

• You can request account or data deletion by contacting us.
