Privacy Policy

Last updated: 20 July 2026

Unsuspendly is a macOS and Windows app that reads your lecture slides and unsuspends the matching flashcards in your own Anki collection. This policy explains exactly what data leaves your computer, what doesn't, and who else is involved.

What we collect

• Your licence key — a random identifier issued when you subscribe or start on the free tier. It is not derived from your name or email.
• Subscription state — your Stripe customer and subscription identifiers, which plan you're on, and whether the subscription is active, past due, or cancelled.
• Usage counts — how many lectures your licence key has processed in the current calendar month, used to enforce your plan's monthly limit.

Lecture content you upload

When you use Upload Lecture, the app extracts the text from your PDF or PowerPoint file on your computer and sends that text to our server, which forwards it to Google's Gemini API to identify the medical concepts it covers. Google processes this text under its own terms and privacy policy.

Please be aware of two things:

• Lecture slides are frequently your institution's copyrighted material. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to upload them (see our Terms of Service).
• Do not upload slides containing patient-identifiable information, or any other confidential material you are not permitted to share with a third-party AI service.

We do not retain the slide text on our server after the request completes. The original file itself is never uploaded — only extracted text.

What stays on your computer

• Your Anki collection. The app talks to Anki through AnkiConnect on 127.0.0.1 — a purely local connection. No cards, tags, decks, or review history are ever transmitted to us or anyone else.
• Your run history, usage statistics, derived searches, and saved concept files, all stored in your Application Support folder.
• Your licence key, stored securely by your operating system -- the macOS Keychain on Mac, and the encrypted Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI) on Windows.

The app contains no analytics, tracking, telemetry, or advertising SDKs. Usage statistics shown in Settings are calculated on your computer and never transmitted.

Payments

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card details. Stripe's handling of your payment information is governed by its own privacy policy.

Service providers

• Cloudflare — hosts our server and database, which store the data listed above.
• Google — processes uploaded lecture text via the Gemini API.
• Stripe — processes payments and stores billing information.

How long we keep data

Licence and subscription records are kept while your licence exists and for as long as needed for tax and accounting obligations. Monthly usage counts are retained as a small historical record. You may request deletion of your licence record at any time (see below); note this permanently disables the key.

Your rights

You can request a copy of the data associated with your licence key, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. Depending on where you live you may have additional rights under the GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar laws. Contact us and we will respond.

Children

Unsuspendly is intended for use by medical and other higher-education students, and is not directed at anyone under 16.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the date above will be updated and the app will ask you to review the revised version.
