Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 November 2026 · Classily

The short version. Classily has no account and no login. Your timetable, notes, photos, worksheets, recordings and homework stay on your device and in your own iCloud. We run no advertising, no analytics and no tracking of any kind, and we never sell anything to anyone.

One feature sends anything off your device: the AI assistant, and only at the moment you ask it something. That is set out in full below, because it is the part that deserves the detail.

Who we are

Classily is published by Jason Fung (Hong Kong). Contact: weskys@gmail.com.

What stays on your device

All of the following is stored on your device, and — if you are signed in to iCloud — in your own private iCloud container. That is your Apple account and your storage. We have no access to it and no ability to read it.

Your timetable, including one read from a photo.
Lesson notes, board photos, PDFs and worksheets, and anything you draw or write on them.
Whiteboard pages you write yourself.
Homework, deadlines, attachments and the calendar.
Lesson recordings. These are never uploaded and are not synced to iCloud. They are deleted automatically after 30 days.
Transcripts. Turning a recording into text uses Apple's on-device speech recognition — the audio never leaves your phone and is never sent to us or to anyone else.

The AI assistant — exactly what happens

This is the only feature that transmits anything, and only in response to a deliberate action by you. Nothing is sent in the background, on a schedule, or while the app is idle.

When it happens

You type a question and send it to the AI.
You ask for the text in a photo to be read, so it becomes searchable.
You scan a printed timetable to fill in your classes.

If you never use those features, nothing about you or your work ever leaves your device.

What is sent

The question you typed.
If, and only if, you have switched on “use my notes to answer”: extracts from your own lesson notes relevant to that question, so the answer can refer to them.
The specific image you asked to have read — a photo of the board, or a printed timetable.

We do not send your recordings, your homework list, your calendar, your contacts, your location, or any advertising identifier. There is no advertising identifier in this app at all.

Who processes it

The request goes to our own endpoint, which holds the AI service key so it is not exposed inside the app, and is passed straight on to Google's Gemini API, which generates the answer and returns it.

What is kept

By us: nothing. Your question, your note extracts and your images are relayed to produce that one answer. They are not written to any database, not written to any log, and not retained in any form.
By Google: Classily uses the paid Gemini API. Under Google's terms for paid use, prompts and responses are not used to train or improve Google's products, and are logged only for a limited period for the sole purpose of detecting abuse of the service. There is no human review of your content on this tier.

What it is never used for

Not for advertising. Not for marketing. Not for analytics or profiling. Not to build any profile of you or your schoolwork. Never sold, rented, or shared with a data broker.

Fair-use counting

So that one person cannot exhaust the AI service for everybody, we count how many AI requests each installation makes per day. For that purpose and no other, our server stores:

What	Why	How long
A random identifier created when the app is installed	To apply the daily limit to one installation	Deleted after 7 days; discarded entirely when you delete the app
A one-way hash of the network address a request came from — not the address itself	To stop the daily limit being bypassed automatically	Deleted after 7 days
A count of requests made that day	To apply the daily limit	Deleted after 7 days

The installation identifier is generated randomly on your device. It is not derived from your phone, is not an advertising identifier, and is not connected to your name, your email or any account — there is no account to connect it to. It is never shown to anyone, never sold, and never combined with anything else to identify you.

These counters never contain the content of a question, a note, or a photo.

How this maps to the App Store privacy labels

For clarity, this is what the app's App Store privacy label reflects, and why. Every item is not linked to your identity and not used for tracking.

Category	What it refers to	Purpose
Identifiers — Device ID	The random installation identifier and the hashed network address used for fair-use limits	App functionality; preventing abuse
Usage Data — Product Interaction	The daily count of AI requests	App functionality; preventing abuse
User Content — Other User Content	A question you send to the AI, and any note extracts you choose to include	App functionality — producing the answer you asked for
User Content — Photos	An image you ask to have read	App functionality — reading the text in it

Audio is deliberately absent: recordings and their transcription never leave the device.

Classily on Android

The Android app handles your data in the same way, with these differences:

There is no iCloud and no cloud sync. Your work stays on your device. To keep a copy, export a backup file from Settings and save it wherever you choose.
Android's automatic device backup may copy the app's notes and settings to your own Google account. Lesson recordings are excluded from it.
There is no transcription of recordings on Android. Recordings stay on your device and are deleted automatically after 30 days.
Purchases are handled entirely by Google Play. We never see your payment details or your name. Google Play tells the app only whether a valid subscription exists.
The AI assistant, fair-use counting and everything else described on this page apply as written. On Google Play's Data safety form these are declared as photos, other user-generated content, device ID and app interactions. None of it is used for tracking or advertising, and none of it is sold.
Deleting the app removes everything stored on the device and discards the installation identifier.

Camera, photos and microphone

The camera is used only when you choose to photograph a board, a worksheet or a timetable. The photo library is read only for images you pick yourself. The microphone is used only while you are actively recording a lesson. None of these are accessed in the background.

Subscriptions

Purchases are handled entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details, your name, or your Apple Account. Apple tells the app only whether a valid subscription exists.

Age

Classily is intended for secondary school students and above. It is not directed at children under 13 and collects no personal information from anyone. There is no social feature, no messaging between users, no user-to-user content, and no public profile.

Your control and your rights

Deleting the app removes everything stored on the device and discards the installation identifier.
Notes kept in iCloud can be removed from your own Apple account at any time in Settings.
You can export a full copy of your data from Settings in the app.
Because we hold no account and no personal information, there is no profile for us to hand over or erase. If you would like the fair-use counters for your installation cleared before they expire, email weskys@gmail.com.

Changes

If this policy changes, the revised version is posted on this page with a new date.
