Privacy policy

What we collect

When you use Tryhard Prep we hold:

• Your email address and, if you give one, your name. If you sign in with Google, we also get the profile picture Google shares.
• How you sign in: a Google account link, email links, or a password. Passwords are stored only as a one-way hash.
• Your study activity: every test and drill you take, your answers, how long you spend on each question, what you flag or cross out, highlights and notes on passages, your scores, and settings such as extended time and the interface theme.
• Purchase records: which pass you bought and when, and a customer reference from Stripe. Your card details go to Stripe and never reach us.
• Basic technical logs: the pages requested and errors, kept briefly to keep the service running.

How we use it

To run the product: sign you in, save your work, score your tests, show your analytics, and decide what to recommend next.

To improve the questions: we look at how questions perform across all students, for example how often a question is missed, to find questions that are too hard, too easy, or broken. That analysis is done on answers without your name attached.

To email you: sign-in links, verification, and purchase confirmations. We do not send marketing email unless you ask for it, and there is no advertising on the site.

Who else sees it

We use a small number of services to run Tryhard Prep, and each sees only what it needs:

• Stripe processes payments and holds your card details and receipts.
• Resend delivers our email.
• Google handles sign-in if you choose that method.
• Desmos provides the calculator inside the Math section.
• Our hosting and database providers store the data described above.

What we do not do

We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use tracking pixels in email. The only cookie we set is the one that keeps you signed in.

How long we keep it

For as long as you have an account. If you delete your account, we remove your name, email, and sign-in methods right away. Your answers stay, with nothing linking them to you, because they feed the question statistics that make the tests better for everyone. Stripe keeps payment records for as long as the law requires.

Your choices

From the account page you can download everything we hold about you as a file, change your name and settings, and delete your account. If you cannot get in, or you are a parent asking about a child's account, email us and we will help.

Students under 18

Most of our students are in high school. We collect the minimum needed to run a study tool, and we do not use it for advertising. Tryhard Prep is not for children under 13. Parents and guardians can ask to see or delete a student's data at any time.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will say so on the site. Questions go to hello@tryhardprep.com.
