Privacy Policy

AxonFeed is a study app built and operated by GVP (gshyamvp.com). This policy explains what information the app handles, where it is stored, and the choices you have.

What we collect

• Practice data: your answers, time per question, confidence ratings, hints used, eliminated choices, bookmarks, flags, notes, highlights, mistake tags, study-plan progress, practice-test results you enter, and your settings.
• Account data, only if you sign in: your email address and an account identifier from our authentication provider.
• Technical data: our hosting provider processes standard request logs (such as IP address, browser type, and timestamps) to deliver and secure the service.

We do not use advertising, sell personal information, or use third-party analytics or tracking cookies.

Where it is stored

• On your device. Practice data is saved in your browser's local storage so the app works offline and survives reloads.
• In the cloud, if you sign in. Practice data syncs to our database provider (Supabase) so your history follows you across devices. Each account's records are protected by row-level security so that only that account can read them.
• Payments. If you buy a plan, Stripe processes your payment and billing details. We store only your plan, its status and renewal date, and Stripe customer and subscription IDs, never your card number.
• Hosting. The app is served by Vercel.

Duels and the leaderboard

Live duels run through our database provider's real-time service. While you play, your opponent sees the name shown for you (an anonymous animal name when matched with a stranger) and your answers for that duel. When a duel ends, each player's final score, the opponent's account identifier, and the time are saved so the result can count toward badges and the leaderboard. You appear on the leaderboard only if you join it, under a display name you choose, and you can leave it at any time in Duels. Your email address is never shown to other players.

AI tutor

If the optional AI tutor is enabled and you use it, the text of the question you are working on, your selected answer, and the messages you type are sent to one of our AI providers (Google Gemini, Groq, or Anthropic) to generate a reply. Some providers' free tiers may use submitted content to improve their services, so don't type personal information into the tutor. Your email address is not sent. If you do not use the tutor, nothing is sent.

To enforce fair use, we count how many tutor messages each account sends per day. The tutor refuses requests outside its permitted scope. If a request breaks the Acceptable use rules in our Terms, we keep a short excerpt of it so a person can review the decision.

How we use information

• To provide the app: show your progress, schedule reviews, and adapt practice to your weak areas.
• To sync your data across your devices when you sign in.
• To keep the service secure and working.

Your choices

• Use the app without signing in, in which case your data stays in your browser.
• Export your data at any time from Settings → Export my data.
• Delete the data on a device from Settings → Reset data on this device.
• To access, correct, or delete data stored in your account, contact us through gshyamvp.com.

Retention

Cloud data is kept while your account is active and deleted on request. Local data stays in your browser until you clear it.

Children

AxonFeed is intended for adults preparing for graduate admissions tests and is not directed to children under 16.

Changes

We may update this policy as the app changes. Material changes will be reflected by a new “last updated” date on this page.
