Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4 October 2026

Sussed is a revision tutor built for GCSE, A-Level and NCEA students. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what we do with it. It is written in plain English on purpose.

Who we are

Sussed is run by Jane Swire, trading as Sussed, based in the United Kingdom. You can reach us at hello@getsussed.co.uk.

What we collect

When you start a free trial, we ask for:

Your name — so the tutor can greet you.
Your email address — so your progress is tied to an account, so you can get back to your work on another device, and so we can contact you with trial updates. This is stored on our server; everything else below sits only in your browser unless you subscribe.
Your country (UK or NZ) — so we show you the right exam calendar and curriculum.
Your year group — so we show the right topics.
Your subjects and topic confidence ratings — so we can build your revision timetable and tutor sessions. These stay in your browser's local storage during the trial.

If you subscribe, we additionally store:

Your subject progress, past-paper history and tutor conversations — on our server, so they survive device changes.
A Stripe customer ID — provided by our payment processor (Stripe) when you pay. We never see or store your card details; Stripe handles those directly.

What we don't collect

We don't ask for a phone number, date of birth, address, school name, or anything that identifies you beyond what's listed above. We don't track you around the web. We don't use advertising cookies. We don't sell your data — to anyone, for any reason.

Where it lives

Email, name, country, year and subjects for trial signups are stored on Netlify Blobs, hosted in the EU. Subscription progress data (if you subscribe) is stored the same way. Payment handling is done by Stripe, who are a separate controller for that data — see Stripe's privacy policy.

AI tutor conversations go through Anthropic's Claude API to generate answers. Anthropic may process the conversation text to produce the response; by default they do not train on API traffic. See Anthropic's commercial terms.

What we use your email for

Three things, and only three things:

Occasional product updates — new features, exam-period tips, that sort of thing. A few emails a term at most.
Letting you restore your account on another device (coming soon).
Replying if you contact support.

No spam. No marketing lists. No sharing with anyone. You can ask to be removed at any time — email us and it's done within a few days.

Cookies and local storage

We use your browser's local storage to remember your profile and progress so Sussed works offline-ish. No tracking cookies. The only time we set a server-side cookie is during Stripe checkout; that's Stripe's cookie, not ours.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

Ask what data we hold about you (we'll tell you — it's the list above).
Ask us to correct it or delete it.
Take your data with you (export your progress).
Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you think we've mishandled your data.

Email hello@getsussed.co.uk for any of these.

If you're under 13

Sussed is built for secondary-school students (typically 14+). If you're under 13, please ask a parent or guardian to set up Sussed with their email, and we'll treat the account as theirs.

Changes to this policy

If we change what we collect or how we use it, we'll update this page and the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will also be flagged in-app.

Any questions? Just email hello@getsussed.co.uk.
