In short: your data is yours. CoachYourself needs an account (e-mail and password) and stores the academic and study data you enter so that it can build your plan, compute your averages and sync your devices. There are no ads, no trackers, no analytics profiles and no sale of data. The coach is a rule engine that runs on your own data; the optional language model runs on your device. Deleting your account deletes everything.

1. Who is responsible

CoachYourself is published by Safiye Meram, Esenler/İstanbul, Türkiye, who is the data controller for the processing described here. Contact: gelistirbizi@gmail.com.

2. What we process

3. What we do not process

No location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, browsing history or social media accounts. The app contains no advertising SDK and no third-party analytics.

4. Why, and on what legal basis

We process this data solely to run the app you signed up for: to compute your study plan, your averages and your graduation projection, to generate the coach's messages, and to keep your devices in sync. The legal basis is the performance of our contract with you (GDPR art. 6(1)(b); KVKK art. 5(2)(c)). Security logging rests on our legitimate interest in keeping the service safe (art. 6(1)(f)). Downloading an optional on-device model happens only when you ask for it.

5. Who can see your data

Only you. Every row in the database is bound to your account by row-level security, enforced by the database itself rather than by the app: another user querying with their own account receives an empty result. As the operator we have administrative access for maintenance, but we do not read your content unless you ask us to help with a specific problem.

6. Service providers (processors)

None of them may use your data for their own purposes. We do not sell data and do not share it with advertisers.

7. The coach and the on-device language model

The coach is a rule-based engine computed from your own data. Nothing you write is sent to any language-model service. Premium users can optionally download a small language model to their device; the model file lives on the device, questions are answered on the device, and nothing about the conversation leaves it. On supported phones the app can use the system's own on-device model (Apple Intelligence or Gemini Nano), which likewise runs locally. The conversation is saved only in your own account so that you can see your history.

8. Notifications

There is no push server. Your reminder settings are stored in your account; each of your devices reads them and schedules notifications through its own operating system. Deadline countdowns and focus-session alarms are scheduled the same way.

9. Payments

Subscriptions are sold and billed by the App Store or Google Play. Premium is unlocked by our server after the store confirms the purchase, never by the app itself.

10. Where your data is stored and how it is protected

Data is stored in a Supabase (PostgreSQL) database, currently in the Tokyo region (ap-northeast-1). Transport is encrypted with TLS and data is encrypted at rest. Passwords are hashed. Access is restricted by row-level security. If you live in the EU or the UK, this means your data is transferred to Japan, a country the European Commission recognises as providing adequate protection.

11. Retention and deletion

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. You can delete your account inside the app (Profile → Delete account): your user record is removed and every course, grade, log, coach message and reminder is deleted with it. This cannot be undone. Before deleting you can take everything as a single JSON file via Profile → Export my data. Technical logs at the hosting provider expire on their own after a short period.

12. Your rights

Under the GDPR and the Turkish personal data protection law (KVKK) you have the right to access, correct, delete and export your personal data, to restrict or object to processing, and to withdraw consent where processing rests on it. Access, correction, deletion and export are available inside the app immediately. For anything else write to gelistirbizi@gmail.com; we answer within one month. You may also complain to the KVKK Board or to the supervisory authority in your own country.

13. Children

CoachYourself is made for university students and is intended for people aged 18 and over. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has opened an account, write to us and we will delete it.

14. Changes

If the app ever starts doing something this page does not describe, this page is updated before that version reaches the store, and material changes are announced inside the app. The date at the top tells you which version you are reading.
