Privacy Policy

How we handle your data.

Med Oral Boards is a study tool for anesthesiology residents. This page explains what we collect, why, who we share it with, and your choices. Plain English first, the longer version below.


The short version

The detailed sections below control if there is any inconsistency between this summary and the rest of this page.

1. Who we are

Med Oral Boards (the "App") is operated by {{LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME}} ("we," "us," "our"), a {{ENTITY_TYPE}} located at {{LEGAL_ENTITY_ADDRESS}}, United States. You can reach us at support@medoralboards.com.

2. What we collect

Account information

When you sign in, Apple shares with us either your real Apple ID email or a private relay email (if you choose Apple's "Hide My Email"), and optionally your name. We use this to create your account, identify you across sessions, and contact you about your account. We never receive your Apple ID password.

Voice audio during mock exams

When you start a mock oral exam, the App accesses your microphone (with your permission via iOS) and streams your audio in real time to OpenAI's Realtime API, which generates the AI examiner's voice responses. We do not store the audio recording itself — once the exam session ends, the audio stream is gone. What we save is the text transcript of what you and the examiner said, and the grade the AI produced.

Exam transcripts and grades

For each exam you take, we store the text transcript (your words + the examiner's words), the case scenario, the grade rubric, and timestamps. This is what powers your history, stats, and the ability to review past sessions.

Purchase information

Apple processes all in-app purchases. We receive a notification from RevenueCat (our subscription-management partner) confirming which product you bought (3-month or 6-month plan), the date, and Apple's transaction identifier. We never see your credit card, debit card, or bank details.

Usage telemetry

We log anonymous events about how you use the App — screen views, button taps, errors, exam start/end times, study mode toggles. This helps us fix bugs and improve the product. Each event is tied to your account so we can debug issues you specifically report.

Device information

Standard technical information your device sends with network requests: iOS version, app version, device model, language, time zone. We don't use any cross-app advertising identifiers, don't fingerprint your device, and don't track you across other apps or websites.

What we don't collect

We do not collect your contacts, photos, location, browsing history, health data, or any information about anyone other than you. The App does not use the camera. The App does not track you across other apps or websites. We do not buy data from data brokers.

3. How we use your information

We do not use your data to train AI models. We do not sell your data. We do not run advertising.

4. Who we share your data with

We share data only with the service providers needed to run the App. Each provider listed below has its own privacy policy, which governs how they handle data we send them:

We may also share data when legally required (lawful subpoena, court order, regulatory request) or in connection with a sale of the business to a successor entity, in which case the successor will be bound by this policy or notify you of changes.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for any purpose. For California residents, see Section 8.

5. Where your data is stored, and for how long

Our database is hosted on Supabase's US infrastructure. OpenAI processes audio in real time on its US servers. Apple and RevenueCat may store data on infrastructure in multiple regions per their respective policies.

We keep your account data, exam transcripts, grades, and telemetry for as long as your account is active. If you ask us to delete your account, we permanently delete your account data within 30 days, except where we are legally required to retain certain records (for example, financial records of purchases for tax purposes — which we keep for 7 years per US tax law, but stripped of all data not needed for that purpose).

Telemetry events older than 12 months are automatically deleted. Mock exam audio is never stored — only the text transcript.

6. Your rights

Regardless of where you live, you can:

To exercise any of these, email support@medoralboards.com from the email address associated with your account, or include enough information that we can identify you.

7. Children's privacy

The App is intended for medical residents, fellows, and physicians preparing for the ABA Standardized Oral Examination — adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13 years of age. If you believe we have collected data from a child under 13, contact us and we will delete it. The App is not directed at children, and we do not market it to children.

8. California residents (CCPA / CPRA)

If you live in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act give you specific rights:

To exercise any California right, email support@medoralboards.com.

9. International users

The App is operated from the United States. If you access it from outside the US, your data will be transferred to and processed in the US. By using the App, you consent to this transfer. The Pass Guarantee specifically is offered only to US residents at this time; see our Pass Guarantee policy for details.

10. Security

We use HTTPS for all network traffic, encrypt your auth session at rest on your device, rely on Supabase's row-level security to ensure you can only read your own data, and limit the number of people on our team who have administrative access (currently: just the founder). No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the App evolves. If the changes are material, we'll notify you in the App or by email. The "last updated" date at the bottom of this page reflects the most recent version. Your continued use after a change means you accept the updated policy.
