The short version: Flashcards Forever doesn't collect any data. Your cards never leave your device unless you export them.
What we collect
Nothing. Flashcards Forever has no account, no server, no analytics, no advertising and no crash reporting. We don't know who uses Flashcards Forever, which cards you create, or how you study.
Where your cards go
Nowhere. Creating, importing, studying and exporting all happen on your iPhone or iPad. Flashcards Forever never uploads anything and doesn't use the internet. It works with no connection at all.
Anything leaves the app only when you choose to send it: for example, when you share a backup or a CSV file through the share sheet, or save one to Files or iCloud Drive. Where it goes from there is up to you.
Purchases
The one-time unlock is sold through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment. Flashcards Forever only receives confirmation from Apple, on your device, that the purchase is valid. We never see your name, email or payment details.
What Flashcards Forever keeps on your device
All of this lives in the app's private storage, protected by iOS file protection:
| What | Why | How to remove it |
|---|---|---|
| Decks, cards, images and audio | They're your library | Delete decks in the app, or delete the app |
| Review history | To schedule reviews and show your stats | Delete the deck, or delete the app |
| Settings (target recall, text size, reminder time…) | Your preferences | Delete the app |
| A daily reminder, if you turn it on | Scheduled by iOS on the device; no server sends it | Turn off Settings › Daily reminder |
Read-aloud uses the voices built into iOS, on the device.
Children
Flashcards Forever doesn't collect data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the new version will be published here with a new effective date. Flashcards Forever will never start collecting your cards.
