Privacy Policy
What we collect, why, and what we do not.
Last updated: 2026-07-08
Our approach to privacy
BorelliScopie is designed with privacy as a default. You can use the entire platform — every module, every quiz, the TADA simulator — without creating an account or providing any personal information.
If you choose to create an account, we collect the minimum data needed to make progress tracking work. Nothing more.
Without an account
If you use BorelliScopie without signing in, here is what happens:
- No personal data collected. We do not know who you are.
- No tracking cookies. We do not use advertising networks, social media trackers, or cross-site tracking of any kind.
- Anonymous page-view counts only. We use Vercel Analytics, a privacy-focused service, to count how many times each page is visited. It sets no cookies, does not identify individual visitors, and cannot follow you across other websites.
- Everything works. All educational content, quizzes, and the TADA simulator function fully.
Your learning is your own. When you close the browser, the session is gone.
With an account
Creating an account is optional. It unlocks progress tracking, quiz history, and a personal dashboard. Here is exactly what we store:
What we collect
| Data | Why | Where stored |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | Account login and password reset | Supabase Auth (encrypted) |
| Display name | Shown on your dashboard | Supabase database |
| Module progress | So you can resume where you left off | Supabase database |
| Quiz attempts | So you can review your learning history | Supabase database |
| Account timestamps | When you registered, last login | Supabase Auth |
Signing in with Google
If you choose to sign in with Google instead of an email and password, Google shares your name, email address, and profile picture with us to create your account. We never see your Google password. Google's own privacy policy governs their side of this process.
Cookies
When you sign in, we set strictly necessary cookies that keep you securely signed in. These are essential for account features to work and are not used for tracking or advertising. We set no other cookies.
What we do not collect
Even with an account, we do not collect:
- Payment information (BorelliScopie is free)
- Location data
- Device or browser fingerprints
- Browsing behaviour beyond your BorelliScopie progress
- Any patient or clinical data
Data security
Your data is stored in Supabase, a managed database service hosted in the EU (Ireland). Row-level security policies ensure you can only access your own data. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text.
Your rights
You can:
- View your data — your dashboard shows all stored progress and quiz history
- Export your data — contact us and we will provide a full export
- Delete your account — this permanently removes all your data from our systems
- Correct your data — update your display name or email in your account settings
These rights apply regardless of your jurisdiction, though they also align with GDPR, UK GDPR, and similar data protection frameworks.
No patient data
BorelliScopie does not collect, process, or store any patient information. The platform has no mechanism for uploading clinical images, entering patient data, or submitting identifiable health information.
Do not enter patient information anywhere on this site. The educational simulator uses pre-authored teaching scenarios only.
Server logs
Like most websites, our hosting provider (Vercel) may automatically log basic technical information when you visit:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Pages requested
- Date and time of access
These logs are managed by Vercel according to their privacy policy. We do not analyse them for user tracking or marketing purposes, and they are retained for a limited period before deletion.
Local storage
BorelliScopie may use your browser's local storage to remember preferences such as accessibility settings. This data stays on your device. We cannot access it, and it is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.
Third-party services
BorelliScopie uses a small number of third-party services:
Supabase — provides authentication and database storage. Data is stored in the EU (Ireland). Supabase's privacy policy governs their handling of infrastructure-level data.
Vercel — provides website hosting and delivery. Vercel's privacy policy governs their handling of server logs and infrastructure data.
Vercel Analytics — provides anonymous, aggregate page-view statistics so we can see which educational content is most used. It is cookieless, does not identify individual visitors, and does not track you across other websites.
Google sign-in (optional) — available as an alternative way to create and access your account, as described above.
We do not use advertising networks, social media integrations, or any analytics that identify individual users.
External links
BorelliScopie may link to external resources such as guidelines, references, and related organisations. Once you leave our site, you are subject to the privacy practices of those external sites, which we do not control.
Children
BorelliScopie is designed for healthcare professionals and students. It is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
If we change our privacy practices, we will update this page. The "last updated" date at the top shows when revisions were last made. Significant changes will be noted on the dashboard for signed-in users.
