Bhat

Privacy policy

What Bhat stores about you, why, who processes it, and how to take it with you or delete it.

Prepared by the developers; not legal advice; to be reviewed by the owner before launch.

What we store

When you create an account, Bhat stores:

  • Account details: your email address and a password (the password is handled by our authentication provider and stored only as a secure hash, never in plain text), the name you give us, and your account role.
  • Preferences: translation and script settings, audio speed, reduced motion, daily and weekly goals, and your time zone (so streaks and goals follow your local day).
  • Learning progress: lessons and scenarios you start and finish, the answers you give and whether they were right, your placement test result and starting unit.
  • Vocabulary: words in your review deck, favourites and your review history.
  • Activity: XP, streaks, achievements, and daily totals such as time spent and exercises answered.

We use this only to run Bhat for you: to save your progress, schedule reviews, and show your statistics. We do not sell it or use it for advertising.

Voice recordings

When you record yourself in a speaking exercise, the recording stays in your browser on your device. It is never uploaded to or stored by Bhat, and it disappears when you leave the exercise. Bhat does not score pronunciation.

Cookies and tracking

Bhat sets only the cookies needed to keep you signed in. There is no third-party analytics, no advertising, and no tracking across other websites.

Who processes your data

  • Supabase provides our database, sign-in (including the emails for confirming your address and resetting your password) and file storage. Your data is stored in Supabase's US East region.
  • Vercel hosts the website. Like any web host, it processes the requests your browser makes, including your IP address, in order to deliver pages.

Lesson and conversation audio is generated by the developers in advance with Google Gemini text-to-speech or the open-source Piper engine. Only lesson text is sent for this; none of your data is ever sent to Google or any other speech service.

Your data, your choice

  • Download your data: in Settings, choose “Download my data” to get everything above as a JSON file.
  • Correct it: change your name and preferences in Settings at any time.
  • Delete it: in Settings, “Delete my account” permanently removes your account and all of your learning data straight away. Copies in our providers' backups expire on their normal schedule.

Security

Every table is protected so that each learner can read only their own records, connections are encrypted, and access to the content tools is limited to editors.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, we will update this page. Questions or requests about your data: bhatclubnp@gmail.com.
