What happens to the study guide I upload?
Your upload stays private and is deleted 30 days after your deck goes live. Our own computers remove names, grades and other personal details first. Photos are only read by AhaBulb's own computers; DeepSeek, an outside AI, only ever gets the cleaned-up text. The deck never shows who made it.
- Your file stays private. It is stored on our own server in a private folder, never published and never shown to other players.
- We remove personal information first. Our own computers take out names, signatures, emails, phone numbers, addresses, student ID numbers, grades and scores, and school, class and period details. Questions about a real person you know are dropped.
- Photos never leave our systems. Only AhaBulb's own AI, on our own computers, looks at the pages.
- DeepSeek, an outside AI service, helps write the cards. It only gets the text after personal information is removed. Never your file, pictures, name or email.
- kit-search, our own search tool, checks answers against outside sources using only the question and answer text.
- We delete your upload 30 days after your deck goes live, or right away if we can't use it.
- Your name is never on it. The deck says "Made by an AhaBulb player". Only the AhaBulb team can see who made it.
- Decks are public. Anyone with the code can play, it is listed at /guides/, and search engines can find it. You can unpublish it any time.
- You see who played your deck. On /me/ (My decks) and on your deck's page you see the AhaBulb names of the people who played it, when they last played, and how many cards they answered and got right. Never their email. Visitors without an account show as "A visitor".
- Print 50 cards free. Your own deck's first 50 cards as printable index cards, from My decks or your deck's page.
For kids under 13, we email the parent, never the kid. Full details: /privacy/.
