Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 16, 2026
1. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Leaflet ("we," "us") collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects personal information when you visit Leaflet, create an account, use courses, practices, interactive components, Pro access, email verification, Google sign-in, and payment-related features.
This Policy does not apply to third-party websites, sign-in services, payment pages, or external links. Third-party services process your information under their own policies.
2. Information We Collect
- Account information: email address, display name, password hash, avatar URL, interface language, account role, primary sign-in provider, and account creation/update timestamps.
- Authentication and identity information: email verification status, session cookies, access tokens, and basic profile data returned by Google sign-in, such as name, avatar, email, and Google user ID. We do not request access to Gmail, Google Drive, or other Google content.
- Pro and payment information: Pro status, membership expiration time, order status, payment-provider customer ID, subscription status, and billing portal availability. Card numbers and full payment credentials are processed by payment providers; Leaflet does not store full card numbers.
- Device and log information: IP address, browser type, device information, request time, error logs, security logs, and technical records used to protect the service.
- Communications: support requests, email correspondence, feedback, problem descriptions, and our responses.
3. Information We Do Not Collect by Default
Leaflet currently does not store a complete page-by-page reading trail, every practice attempt, detailed interactive-component operation history, or a long-term learning profile by default. If we later add learning progress, AI grading, personalization, or similar features, the product will explain the data use and access rules before collection.
Leaflet does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. If our business model changes in the future, we will update notices at the point of collection and in this Policy and provide applicable choices.
4. How We Use Information
- Create, verify, protect, and maintain your account.
- Complete email registration, email sign-in, Google sign-in, sign-out, and account deletion flows.
- Display account profile, Pro access status, membership expiration, and available billing portal links.
- Determine whether reference solutions, Pro interactive components, future AI features, or advanced features are available.
- Calculate aggregate course views and prioritize more popular courses in the catalog.
- Send necessary transactional emails such as verification codes, account security notices, payment notices, or service-status notices.
- Detect, prevent, and investigate abuse, unauthorized access, security incidents, fraud, spam requests, and service failures.
- Comply with legal obligations and handle disputes, audits, refunds, tax, accounting, and compliance requirements.
5. Legal Bases
Where applicable law requires us to identify legal bases, we generally process personal information to perform our service contract with you, based on your consent for sign-in, registration, cookies, or specific features, for legitimate interests in service security and product improvement, and to comply with legal, tax, accounting, consumer-protection, and dispute-resolution obligations.
6. Cookies, Local Storage, and Similar Technologies
Leaflet uses necessary cookies, tokens, or local storage to keep you signed in, protect sessions, save language preferences, and complete security checks. The current product does not rely on third-party advertising cookies.
You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings, but some sign-in, account, and Pro access features may not work correctly.
7. Third-Party Services and Processors
- Google: used for Google sign-in. Leaflet requests only basic profile data needed for sign-in. Our use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including Limited Use requirements.
- Resend or similar email services: used to send registration verification codes, security notices, and necessary transactional emails.
- Paddle or similar payment services: used to process payments, subscriptions, refunds, taxes, invoices, billing portal access, and payment risk controls.
- Infrastructure and security services: used to host the site, run APIs, store databases, send logs, monitor errors, create backups, and protect systems.
8. Disclosures of Information
We disclose personal information only as needed: to service providers processing data for us; to complete payment, sign-in, email delivery, and security functions; to comply with law, court orders, regulatory requirements, or law-enforcement requests; to investigate abuse, fraud, or security incidents; and in connection with mergers, financing, acquisitions, asset transfers, or similar transactions subject to confidentiality and applicable law.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy. Account information is generally retained until account deletion or deactivation; order, membership, payment, audit, and security records may be retained as required for legal, accounting, tax, dispute-resolution, and security needs; temporary data such as verification codes has a short validity period.
10. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including password hashing, access controls, session protection, environment-variable management, parameterized database queries, admin access limits, and audit records. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so you should also protect your password, device, and email account.
11. Your Choices and Rights
- You can update your display name and avatar URL, sign out, change your password, or delete your account from the account page.
- Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent, or appeal.
- California residents may have rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, limit use of sensitive personal information, and be free from discrimination for exercising privacy rights. Leaflet currently does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- Users in the EEA, UK, or similar regions may have rights under the GDPR or local law, including access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, data portability, and lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority.
13. International Transfers
Leaflet may process information through servers, service providers, and team members in different countries or regions. Where required by applicable law, we use reasonable transfer safeguards such as contracts, access controls, and service-provider review.
14. Updates and Contact
We may update this Policy as the product, law, payment systems, sign-in methods, or security requirements change. Material changes may be notified through page updates, account notices, or other reasonable methods. Continued use of Leaflet means you understand that the updated Policy applies to later use.
For privacy, account, or data requests, contact: [email protected]. Before public launch, the operating entity address, data-protection contact, and region-specific request channels should be completed on this page.
