Privacy policy

1. What this app is

This is a student study tool (quiz, terminal tutorial, class notes). The public copy is static files on GitHub Pages. It is not an official OsloMet service and it has no cloud account.

The person who publishes the files can update the quiz text. They cannot see your display name, points or cards unless you show them your phone or send a score code yourself.

2. What we do not collect

• No email address is required.
• No cookies for tracking, ads or analytics.
• No Google Analytics, Facebook pixels, or similar.
• No third-party score cloud (nothing is posted to jsonblob or other hosts).
• No password, account or recovery word is required.
• Quiz answers you type are not uploaded.
• The app does not send your progress to another phone by itself.

3. What stays on this device

The browser stores data in localStorage on this phone or PC only.

Local preferences

• Display name you choose (max 24 characters).
• Share flag (off unless you tick it) and a random ranking id if you share.

Study progress

• Points, streak, trophies, due cards, drill lists.
• Spaced-repetition queues and flash-card position.

Tutorial progress

• Where you are in the ACIT4050 terminal tutorial.
• Where you are in the Computer basics tutorial.
• Last course tab you opened.

All progress is ordinary browser storage. Clearing site data removes it.

4. Sharing is off unless you tick it

Default: nobody sees your points. If you tick Share my score on the class ranking, this browser can show your display name, points, streak and trophy count on this device.

You can also copy a score code that starts with MSC1|. That code holds only those four public fields plus a time stamp. Quiz cards are never in the code.

Untick Share to leave the board on this device.

5. Offline cache

On HTTPS the service worker may cache the app files (HTML, quiz decks, icons) so the syllabus works offline. That cache is the course content, not your private scores. It does not use tracking cookies.

6. Honest limits

• This is one browser, not a cloud login. A new phone starts empty unless you copy a score code (scores only) or use the same browser profile.
• Anyone with access to this browser profile can open the local study progress.
• GitHub Pages can see that someone loaded the public files (normal web logs: IP, time, which file). That is GitHub, not a score database we run.

7. How to delete your data

• Clear site data for this page in the browser (or delete the site under Settings / Storage).
• That removes local scores, tutorial progress and the ranking board on this device.
• If you already sent an MSC1| code to a classmate, ask them to ignore or remove that entry. We cannot delete it from their phone.

8. Course content vs your data

Quiz cards, notes and tutorials are study material. They are not your personal file. Your personal file is the name you type and the scores on this device.
