Versed Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 2, 2026

Who runs Versed

Versed is an iPhone app. It limits the apps you choose, and you earn time back by answering study questions.

Versed is run by John Gibson.

Questions about this policy: support@useversed.com.

The short version

• Your Versed account holds your email address, an account ID, a few settings, and your purchase record if you buy Versed Pro. The full list is below.
• The apps you limit, the time you earn, and your study answers stay on your iPhone.
• Versed has no ads, no tracking, and no analytics tools.
• We do not sell your information.
• You can delete your account in the app.

What your account stores

Versed uses a service called Supabase to run its accounts. When you create an account, Supabase stores the following for Versed:

• Your email address. You give it when you sign up with email, or Apple shares it when you use Sign in with Apple.
• An account ID. This code is created with your account and links your records to it.
• Your earning settings. How many questions a round asks, how many minutes a round earns, and your daily limit.
• Your pack choices. Which of Versed's shared question packs you chose, whether each one is in your mix, and their order.
• Older study sets, if you have any. Sets made with the older set editor in early test versions of Versed: their titles, descriptions, questions and answers.
• Your purchase record, if you buy Versed Pro. Which plan you have; whether it is a free trial, active or ended; its trial end and expiry dates; Apple's ID number for the subscription; whether it came from Apple's live store or Apple's test store; and when it was last checked.
• Sign in with Apple details, if you use it. A locked (encrypted) Apple sign-in key and a scrambled form of your Apple user ID. Versed keeps these so it can end Sign in with Apple for Versed when you delete your account.
• Sign-in sessions. While you are signed in, Supabase keeps a record of each session: when it started and was last refreshed, your IP address, and your device type (the user agent your phone sends).

If you sign up with email, you also choose a password. Supabase uses it to confirm it is you when you sign in.

Versed uses this information to run your account, to bring your settings back when you sign in on another iPhone, and to give you Pro when you have paid for it. Versed does not use it for ads, and does not use it to track you across other companies' apps or websites.

What stays on your iPhone

• The apps, app categories and websites you choose to limit.
• The time you earn, your unlock history, and whether blocking is on.
• Your study answers and your progress.
• Study sets you make in Versed.
• Your first name, if you type it during setup or Apple shares it when you use Sign in with Apple.
• Reports you make about a question. Sending reports to Versed is not turned on in this version.
• Reminders you ask Versed to set. Your iPhone schedules them itself.

Versed does not send any of this to its servers.

Paying for Versed Pro

Apple handles all payments for Versed Pro. Versed never receives your card or bank details.

When you buy Pro while signed in, Versed adds your account ID to the purchase. This lets Apple's records show which Versed account the purchase belongs to.

Your iPhone then sends Versed's server the purchase's transaction number, and no payment details. The server asks Apple to confirm the purchase. It checks Apple's live store first, then Apple's test store, which test versions of Versed use. It then saves your purchase record.

Apple also tells Versed's server when a subscription renews, ends or is refunded. The server checks with Apple and updates your purchase record.

Deleting your Versed account does not cancel a subscription. Cancel it in your Apple account settings. The steps are on the Support page.

Who else handles your information

• Supabase stores your account information for Versed. It is stored in the United States (Supabase's US West region).
• Apple handles payments, Sign in with Apple, and Screen Time on your iPhone.
• Email. If you email support, your message and your email address reach the developer's inbox through Cloudflare Email Routing, which forwards mail sent to useversed.com addresses.

This website is hosted by Cloudflare. It has no cookies, scripts or analytics. Cloudflare may keep basic technical logs, such as IP addresses, for security.

How long we keep information

We keep your account information while you have an account.

When you delete your account, your account and the information stored with it are removed from Versed's database right away, including your sign-in sessions. The exceptions are explained below.

If you used Sign in with Apple, a background job then asks Apple to end Sign in with Apple for Versed, using the locked key described above. It runs every five minutes and keeps trying for up to 30 days. If Versed cannot finish this step, Versed's Deletion recovery screen says so and links to Apple's instructions, so you can end it yourself.

For this step, Versed keeps three things for a short time:

• The locked Apple sign-in key. It is deleted as soon as Apple confirms, and it is never kept more than about 30 days after you delete.
• Your account ID. It is deleted when this step is done, at most about 30 days after you delete.
• The scrambled Apple user ID. It is deleted within about 30 days after you delete. If Apple later sends Versed a message about your Apple ID, it can be kept for about 30 days after that message.

A short deletion record is kept so the app can show whether deletion finished. Deletion finishes right away if you did not use Sign in with Apple; otherwise it finishes when the Sign in with Apple step is done. Once deletion has finished, the record no longer includes your account ID. The record is removed 30 days after deletion finishes, so at most about 60 days after you delete.

If you delete your account while Pro is still active, a new Versed account on the same Apple ID can take over the subscription. Versed then keeps a scrambled code made from the deleted account's ID with the new account's purchase record, so the subscription cannot be taken over twice.

Backups: Supabase keeps daily backups of Versed's database for 7 days, so a deleted account can remain in a backup for up to 7 days.

Sign-in records and logs: Versed's database keeps no sign-in records after an account is deleted. Supabase keeps its technical logs, which can include IP addresses, for 7 days.

Support emails: kept for up to 1 year, then deleted.

Deleting your account

1. In Versed, open Settings and tap More tools.
2. Tap Delete account.
3. Tap "I'm sure, delete my account".
4. Pick a reason, then tap "Delete my account".

The reason you pick stays on your iPhone. It is not sent to Versed.

To delete your account from Versed's servers, you need to be signed in and online. If you are signed out, this clears Versed's information from your iPhone, but it does not delete your account. Sign in first to delete it.

After the server confirms, Versed turns off its app blocking for your account and clears your account's information from your iPhone. If the connection drops, your account may already be deleted, and Versed clears your iPhone either way.

To check a deletion request saved on your iPhone, open Settings, tap More tools, then tap Deletion recovery.

You can also ask us to delete your account by emailing support@useversed.com.

Children and teens

Versed is not meant for children under 13.

Teens aged 13 to 17 may use Versed.

If you believe a child under 13 has made a Versed account, email support@useversed.com and we will delete it.

No ads, tracking or analytics

Versed contains no advertising, analytics, tracking or crash-reporting tools of its own. It does not use your device's advertising identifier, and it does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

Crash reports from Apple

Your iPhone can share crash reports and app statistics with app developers if you turn that on. If you do, Apple may give the developer of Versed crash reports and statistics about how Versed is used. Apple says it collects this information anonymously.

You can change this at any time in the Settings app, under Privacy & Security, then Analytics & Improvements.

Your choices

• Pause Versed's app blocking at any time: in Versed, open Settings, then tap Pause next to App blocking.
• Remove Versed's Screen Time access in your iPhone's Settings app. The steps are on the Support page.
• Delete your account in the app, as described above.
• Ask what your account holds, or ask us to correct it, by emailing support@useversed.com.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page and update the effective date.
