Privacy Policy — The Nose's Academy

This Privacy Policy explains what information The Nose's Academy ("we", "us") collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. By creating an account and using the app you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

Account information: the email address and display name you provide when you register.
Profile content you choose to add: an optional profile photo (avatar), short bio, and username.
Learning activity: your XP, rank, streaks, lesson and quiz progress, accord-challenge attempts, saved formulas, ingredient-mastery scores, journal entries, achievements, and certifications.
Daily usage counters: for a small number of free features with daily limits (e.g. Memory Palace reviews, accord challenges), we record how many times you have used that feature today so the limit can be enforced. This resets every day and is not used for any other purpose.
App preferences: notification settings, theme, and accessibility options.
Limited technical data needed to operate the service, such as authentication tokens.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to provide and improve the app: to authenticate you, save and sync your learning progress across sessions, personalize your experience, and send the in-app reminders you have enabled.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use it for third-party advertising.

How Your Data Is Stored

Your data is stored securely using Supabase (our backend and database provider). Access is protected by row-level security so that you can only access your own records. Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS).

Sharing & Third Parties

We share data only with the service providers required to run the app:

Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage.
RevenueCat and the Apple App Store / Google Play — if you subscribe to Pro, they process your purchase and share back your subscription status (active/expired, plan, renewal date) so the app can unlock Pro features. We never receive your card or payment details.

We do not share your personal information with advertisers or data brokers.

Data Retention & Account Deletion

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the app: Profile → Settings → Delete Account.

You may also request deletion via the web account-deletion page or by emailing hi@tanxeel.com. When you delete your account, your profile, progress, formulas, journal entries, and uploaded avatar are permanently removed.

Permissions We Request

Camera & Photos: only when you choose to set or change your profile picture.
Notifications: to deliver the learning reminders you opt into. You can turn these off at any time in Settings.
Biometrics (Face ID / fingerprint): used locally and optionally to lock your Formula Vault. Biometric data never leaves your device.

Children's Privacy

The app is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. You can exercise most of these directly in the app, or contact us for assistance.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, an in-app notice.
