What Verelect is

Verelect is a study tool for UK medical students. You upload lecture slides; it produces structured notes, an Anki deck and questions written from what the lecture teaches, and can publish the notes to your Notion.

What we collect, and why

• Account: your university email address, your password stored only as a one-way bcrypt hash (never the password itself), your institution, and whether your email is verified. Used to run your account.
• Uploaded lecture files: read once for their text and speaker notes and deleted the moment that reading is complete — before any checking starts, whether the run then succeeds or fails. No slide image is ever copied out of the file. What remains afterwards is Verelect's own generated study material: a note and cards written from understanding, with diagrams we draw ourselves. We hold no copy of your slides.
• Generated outputs: your notes, cards and deck are stored so you can download them again. They belong to your account.
• Lecture signature: a one-way signature of the lecture's text (not the slides, and not reversible into them) is kept with the generated outputs so an identical lecture is not reprocessed. It is not linked to any user.
• Entitlement ledger: an append-only record of your free lecture, each run, and any refund, with a reason — this is how billing questions get answered.
• Payment: handled entirely by Stripe. Verelect never receives, stores or handles card numbers. We keep your Stripe customer and subscription identifiers and the subscription status.
• Notion: if you connect Notion, we store the OAuth access token encrypted at rest, the workspace name, and the page you chose. You can disconnect at any time; that revokes the token at Notion and deletes it here.
• Processing logs: per-run logs of which step ran. No card data, no passwords.

Who sees your data

• Anthropic (the AI provider) receives the lecture's text while the note, cards and questions are written. It does not receive your name or email.
• Stripe handles payment. Notion receives the notes you choose to publish. Our email provider receives the address and content of verification and reset emails.
• We do not sell data and do not use it for advertising.

Cookies

One session cookie (httpOnly, SameSite) keeps you logged in. One local preference remembers light or dark theme. No tracking cookies.

Deleting your account

Settings → Delete account removes: your user record (email, password hash, institution, Stripe identifiers), all sessions, the Notion token (revoked first), your run directories and the job records that point at them, and anonymises your ledger rows so they can no longer be linked to you. Stored lecture outputs and lecture signatures are not linked to any user and remain so that identical lectures need not be reprocessed.

Retention summary

• Uploaded lecture files: deleted the moment they have been read — in every case, including failures. Only derived text used to retry a failed run, or to finish writing its questions, is kept, and that for at most 24 hours.
• Generated notes and decks: until you delete them or your account.
• Lecture signatures and stored outputs: kept.
• Notion token: until you disconnect or delete your account.

Your rights

You can download everything we hold for you (notes and decks are downloadable from the app), change your password, disconnect Notion, and delete your account — all from Settings. For anything else, email info@verelect.com.
