Privacy & Terms
Last updated: August 2026
What we collect
When you create a Kotatabi account, we collect your email address and display name. As you use the app, we store your learning data: reviewed cards, streak history, XP, language progress, deck contents and activity events. We also collect basic usage analytics (pages visited, features used) to improve the product.
How we use your data
Your data is used to:
- Provide and maintain the learning experience (scheduling, streaks, leagues)
- Sync your progress across devices
- Improve the app based on aggregate usage patterns
- Send essential account emails (password reset, email confirmation)
We do not use your data for advertising or sell it to third parties.
Data storage and processing
Kotatabi uses Supabase (supabase.com) as its database and authentication provider. Supabase is hosted on AWS infrastructure. Your data is stored securely and encrypted at rest. We do not run our own servers.
Cookies
Kotatabi uses only essential cookies required for authentication and session management. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics cookies.
Your rights
You can:
- Access your data — request a copy of everything we store about you
- Delete your account — remove all your data from our systems permanently
- Export your data — download your decks and learning history in a portable format
To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@kotatabi.app.
Children's privacy
Kotatabi is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the app. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

Terms of service
By using Kotatabi you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
Acceptable use
Use Kotatabi for lawful, personal language learning. Don't abuse, scrape or attack the service, and don't upload unlawful content. We may suspend accounts that break these rules.
Pro subscriptions
Pro is billed through Stripe, monthly or yearly. You can cancel anytime from Settings - access continues until the end of the billing period. Deleting your account cancels your subscription immediately.
Your content
You own the decks and cards you create. By publishing to Explore you grant Kotatabi a license to display and distribute that content to other learners. Copies learners saved before you unpublish or delete stay theirs.
Availability and liability
Kotatabi is provided as-is. We work to keep it reliable but can't guarantee uninterrupted service. To the extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the fees you paid in the last 12 months.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept them.
