Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Account info:when you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture. If you use Apple's "Hide My Email" feature, we receive a private relay email address instead of your real one.

Learning activity: courses you create, quiz answers, lesson progress, streaks, and achievements.

Uploaded documents:if you upload a PDF or file to generate a course, we extract the text and content needed to create your course. The file itself is held only briefly while we read it and is then deleted; we don't keep it.

YouTube links:if you paste a YouTube video link to generate a course, we fetch that video's public transcript (through a transcript service, see Section 3) to extract the content needed to create your course. We do not download or store the video itself.

Payment information (web purchases only): if you buy Premium on morso.app, your payment details (card info, billing address) are collected and processed directly by our payment processor, Dodo Payments. We receive confirmation that you paid and your subscription status, not your card details.

Device & usage data: basic technical data (device type, app version, crash reports) and product usage analytics to understand how people use Morso and fix bugs.

Support and feedback: if you contact support or report a problem with a lesson, we receive what you write and any screenshots you attach, so we can help and fix the issue.

What other learners can see: the leaderboard shows other signed-in learners your first name, the initial of your last name, your profile picture, and your XP. Your email and full name are never shown to other users.

Session recordings (only if you allow them): in the Morso app we ask once whether Morso may record how you use it (taps, scrolls, and screen layout) to find and fix bugs; on morso.app we ask in a banner. If you accept, we use PostHog to do this, and text you type and images are hidden. If you decline, we record nothing. You can change your mind any time in Settings > Privacy. Recordings are deleted after 30 days. Our legal basis is your consent.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to:

• personalize your learning experience and generate AI-powered course content tailored to your level
• track your progress, streaks, and achievements
• send optional push notifications (streak reminders, achievement alerts)
• understand how people use Morso and improve it
• fix bugs and crashes

3. Third-Party Services

Morso uses these third-party services to operate:

• Google OAuth: authentication (sign-in)
• Apple Sign-In: authentication (sign-in), for users who choose to sign in with Apple
• Expo Push Notifications: delivering optional push notifications
• AI provider:generating your course content. We don't share your name, email, or account identity with the AI provider, only the topic or document needed to generate your course.
• YouTube (Google):when you paste a YouTube link, we access that video's public transcript via YouTube to generate your course. This is subject to YouTube's own privacy practices for data it holds.
• Dodo Payments:payment processing and billing for web (morso.app) subscription purchases. Dodo receives your payment details directly. We don't store your card information.
• RevenueCat: subscription management for Google Play and App Store purchases (receipt validation and entitlement tracking).
• PostHog: product analytics and error/crash tracking and, only if you allow it, session replay (recordings of how you use Morso, with typed text and images hidden), so we understand how Morso is used and can fix bugs. Signed-in usage is linked to your account ID and email address. For AI features, PostHog records only usage details (such as timing and cost), never your prompts, documents, or the generated content.
• UploadThing and Vercel Blob: temporary file storage for documents you upload to create a course (deleted once read) and for screenshots you attach to support requests.
• Transcript service (via RapidAPI): fetching the public transcript of a YouTube video you paste. It receives only the video link, not who you are.
• Sentry: error and crash tracking in the mobile app, so we can fix bugs.
• Resend: sending our emails (account, reminder, and optional product emails).
• Hosting & database (Vercel, Neon): running the app and storing your account data.

We don't sell your personal information to anyone.

4. Cookies & Similar Technologies

On morso.app (our website), we use PostHog for analytics and ask for your choice in a banner. If you accept, PostHog uses cookies and local storage and may record how you use the site (what you type into fields is hidden). If you reject, we only count visits, without cookies and without recording. You can change your choice any time in Settings. We don't use cookies for third-party advertising, and we don't track you across other websites. We don't currently respond differently to "Do Not Track" signals.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored in a cloud-hosted PostgreSQL database. Authentication tokens are encrypted and stored securely on your device. We use industry-standard security practices, but no system is 100% secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data at any time. You can delete your account directly from Settings in the Morso app, which permanently removes your profile, courses, progress, and achievements.

7. Additional Rights for EU, UK & Brazil Users

If you're in the EEA, UK, or Brazil, you also have the right to data portability, to object to certain processing, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. We rely on these legal bases: (1) to provide the service you signed up for (your account, courses, progress, and subscription); (2) your consent, for optional features such as notifications, session recordings, and website analytics cookies, which you can withdraw at any time; and (3) our legitimate interests in keeping Morso working and improving it, for basic in-app usage analytics and crash reports. You can object to processing based on legitimate interests by emailing hello@morso.app.

Our service providers (listed in Section 3) process data in the United States and other countries outside yours. Where data leaves the EEA, UK, or Nigeria, we rely on the providers' Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent legal safeguard (such as an adequacy decision or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework).

Nigeria: we handle personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023. You may complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission if you believe your data has been mishandled.

US state privacy rights (e.g. California): you can ask to access, correct, or delete your personal information by emailing hello@morso.app. We don't sell personal information or share it for cross-context advertising.

8. Children's Privacy

Morso isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from anyone under that age (or under the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if that's higher). We ask every user to confirm they meet this age (and, if under 18, have a parent or guardian's permission) before signing in. If you believe a child has created an account, email hello@morso.app and we'll delete it. See our Terms of Service for our full eligibility policy.

9. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, everything associated with it, including your profile, courses, progress, and achievements, is permanently removed from our live systems immediately. Copies may remain in database backups and in analytics or error logs (PostHog, Sentry) for a limited period before they are purged. Screen and session recordings are deleted after 30 days.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll notify you of material changes through the app or by email. Continued use of Morso after changes means you accept the updated policy.
