Draft privacy notice
Privacy Notice
Last updated: 8 June 2026. This draft explains how Paper Tiger handles account, study, privacy, and product data. It is intended to be reviewed and finalised before public launch.
Who This Notice Covers
This notice applies to people who visit, request access to, create an account for, or use Paper Tiger. Paper Tiger is a study tool for conceptual learning and active recall. It is not a legal advice service and should not be used with client-confidential, firm-confidential, privileged, or sensitive live matter material.
Personal Data We Collect
- Account details such as email address and sign-in records.
- Study setup choices, selected modules, plans, review schedule, settings, and preferences.
- Learner-created study content such as typed transcripts, saved attempts, AI feedback, progress records, flashcards, and issue reports.
- Operational records such as privacy requests, consent records, security/audit records, API usage and quota records.
- Optional product analytics if you choose to turn analytics on.
How We Use Personal Data
We use personal data to:
- provide the learning app, including topic selection, grading, progress, review queues, flashcards, exports, and account settings
- keep the app secure, prevent abuse, maintain audit records, and troubleshoot errors
- process privacy requests, support requests, and account administration
- improve the product using optional analytics only where you have opted in
- operate payment or subscription features if those features are enabled for your account
AI Processing
Paper Tiger sends learner submissions and relevant answer-key context to server-side AI services when needed for grading, transcription, feedback, or related learning features. OpenAI API calls are made from the server. API keys are not exposed to the browser.
AI feedback may be incomplete or wrong. You should review it as study support, not as legal advice, professional advice, or an authoritative statement of law.
Cookies and Browser Storage
We use essential cookies and similar browser storage for sign-in, session refresh, security, and remembering service choices. These are needed for the app to work.
Optional product analytics are off unless you choose to turn them on. We do not use advertising cookies, marketing pixels, or session replay tools.
Product Analytics
If you opt into analytics, Paper Tiger may record limited product usage events such as feature use, routes, study modes, and coarse learning-flow events. Analytics events are designed not to contain transcripts, answers, source text, audio, images, names, emails, or free-text study content.
You can turn analytics off in Settings. Missing consent or an essential-only choice means optional analytics should not be saved.
Service Providers
We use service providers to operate the app, including:
- Supabase for authentication, database storage, and related backend services.
- OpenAI for server-side AI grading, transcription, and structured feedback features.
- Vercel or the deployment host for app hosting, logs, and operational delivery.
- Stripe for payment or subscription processing if billing features are used.
Data Retention
Study records are kept while your account is active so Paper Tiger can show progress, review queues, previous attempts, and flashcards. Some security, audit, billing, and accountability records may be retained where needed for legitimate operational, legal, or compliance reasons.
Your Choices and Rights
You can use Settings to export your data, record privacy requests, manage optional consent, and request deletion of account and study data. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of your personal data.
Security
Paper Tiger uses access controls, server-side API handling, row level security patterns, and secret-hygiene controls to protect the app. No internet service can guarantee perfect security.
Contact
For privacy questions or requests, use the privacy tools in Settings if you have an account. If you do not have an account, contact the Paper Tiger operator through the access or support channel provided to you.
