1. Privacy overview
SQE Success is operated by Luke Yang. This Privacy Notice explains how personal information is collected, used, stored and shared when you use the SQE Success website and iOS app.
SQE Success is an independent SQE study platform. We process personal information only where it is reasonably necessary to provide, secure and improve the service, administer accounts and subscriptions, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
2. Information we collect
Account information. When you create or use an SQE Success account, we may process information such as your email address, account identifier, authentication information and subscription status. Password authentication is provided through Supabase. The SQE Success iOS app does not store your website password.
Study and progress information. We may store information generated through your use of the study service, including your Study Plan, exam date, completed chapters, recently viewed chapters, flashcard progress, question activity, mock examination results, flags, textbook highlights, notes and other study preferences.
Support and content reports. If you contact us, submit feedback or report an issue, we may process the information you provide together with relevant chapter or page context, your account email or identifier if you are signed in, and the time of submission so that we can investigate and respond.
Subscription information. We may process subscription status, plan information, billing period information and identifiers associated with Stripe. Payment card details are handled by Stripe and are not stored by SQE Success as full card numbers.
Technical information. Our service providers may process technical information necessary to deliver and secure the service, such as request information, timestamps, device or browser information, IP addresses and operational logs.
3. How we use personal information
We use personal information to authenticate users; provide and synchronise study features across supported devices; maintain study progress, highlights and notes; provide subscription access; operate offline and synchronisation features; respond to support requests and content reports; maintain security; diagnose technical problems; prevent misuse; and comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell personal information.
4. iOS app privacy and device features
Secure session storage. The iOS app stores authentication session credentials in the Apple Keychain so that you can remain signed in securely. Your SQE Success password is not stored in the app for this purpose.
Face ID. If you choose to enable the Face ID lock, biometric authentication is performed by iOS using Apple's LocalAuthentication framework. SQE Success does not receive or store your Face ID biometric data.
Study reminders. If you enable study reminders, the app uses Apple's local notification system to schedule reminders on your device based on your Study Plan. Notification permission can be changed in iOS Settings, and reminders can be disabled in the app.
Offline reading. If you choose to make study material available offline, copies of selected study content may be stored locally on your device. You can remove offline downloads from the app's Settings.
Local preferences. Certain app preferences, such as reminder settings and interface preferences, may be stored locally on your device.
5. Service providers and sharing
We use service providers where necessary to operate SQE Success. These currently include Supabase for authentication and database services, Render for hosting and service infrastructure, and Stripe for website subscription payments and payment processing.
These providers process information for the purposes of providing their services to SQE Success and are subject to their own contractual and privacy obligations. We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect legal rights or security, or in connection with a legitimate business reorganisation where applicable.
6. Legal bases
Where UK data protection law applies, we generally process personal information because it is necessary to provide the service you have requested or perform our contract with you, because we have legitimate interests in operating, securing and improving SQE Success, because you have given consent where consent is required, or because processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
7. Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this notice, including providing the service, maintaining security, resolving disputes and meeting legal, tax or accounting obligations where applicable.
Study data associated with an account is generally retained while the account remains active. Some records may need to be retained for a limited period after account deletion where required by law or necessary for legitimate legal, security, fraud-prevention, accounting or dispute-resolution purposes.
8. Account deletion
The SQE Success iOS app provides an in-app option to permanently delete your account. Account deletion removes the authentication account and associated SQE Success study data intended to be linked to that account, including profile and study-state data, highlights and notes, question activity and mock-attempt data, subject to any information that must lawfully be retained.
Account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Deleting the app from your device does not by itself delete your SQE Success account.
9. Your data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights including access to your personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, restriction or objection to certain processing, and data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you may also have the right to withdraw that consent.
To make a privacy request, contact turkeyluke3@gmail.com.
You may also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office if you believe your personal information has been handled in breach of applicable data protection law.
10. International processing
Some service providers may process information in countries outside the United Kingdom. Where applicable, we rely on appropriate legal safeguards or other lawful mechanisms for international transfers of personal information.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information, including authenticated access controls and secure storage mechanisms. No internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
12. Changes to this notice
We may update this Privacy Notice as SQE Success develops, including when app features, service providers or legal requirements change. The current version will be published on this page.
