1. Summary
This policy explains how Arda Future Limited(“Theorio”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use theorio.co.uk or the Theorio application.

2. Data we collect
We collect and process the following categories of data:
Account data
Email address, display name, and password. Passwords are hashed by our authentication provider (Supabase) and are never stored or accessible to us in plain text.
Profile data
Preferred language, country of origin (optional), and planned exam date (optional). Used to personalise your learning experience.
Usage data
Your answers to practice questions, diagnostic test scores, topic-level performance scores, and progress through the learning journey. Used to adapt the difficulty and topic mix of practice sessions.
AI-generated content cache
Summaries and daily coaching messages generated on your behalf by our AI provider (Anthropic) are cached against your account to avoid repeated regeneration.
Payment data
If you subscribe to a paid plan, our payment processor (Stripe) collects and stores your payment details. We receive only a Stripe customer identifier and subscription status — we do not see or store your card number, CVV, or bank details. Payment processing is not currently active and will be enabled when our launch infrastructure is complete.
Technical data
When errors occur, a limited technical record (error message, stack trace, affected account identifier) is sent to our error-monitoring provider (Sentry). We do not use fingerprinting or behavioural tracking for advertising.
3. Why we process your data (legal bases)
Under UK GDPR Article 6, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) — to provide the account, quiz functionality, adaptive learning engine, and paid subscription if you choose one.
- Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) — to detect and diagnose errors, to personalise your learning path based on past performance, and to maintain the security of our systems.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — for optional analytics cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time through the cookie banner.
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) — to retain payment and tax records for the period required by UK law.
4. Service providers (data processors)
We share personal data with the following processors. Each is bound by a data processing agreement.
- Supabase — authentication, database hosting, and row-level security. UK/EU region.
- Anthropic — large language model (Claude) used to generate multilingual explanations and personalised coaching text. Processes in the United States.
- Stripe — payment processing and subscription management. Processes in the European Union and the United States.
- Sentry — application error monitoring. Receives error messages, stack traces, and account identifier only when errors occur.
- Google Analytics — anonymised usage analytics, only if you give cookie consent. Not currently active in production.
5. International transfers
Some of our processors are located in the United States (including Anthropic and, in certain cases, Stripe and Sentry). Transfers of personal data from the UK to the US are protected by the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, as approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
You can request more information about the specific safeguards in place by emailing info@theorio.co.uk.
6. How long we keep your data
We retain your account and associated usage data for as long as your account is active. If you request deletion of your account, we permanently erase your personal data within 30 days of receiving the request, except where we are required to retain specific records (for example, payment records) by UK tax and accounting law.
Error logs held by Sentry are retained for up to 90 days and then deleted.
7. Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
- Access (Art. 15) — request a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Rectification (Art. 16) — correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure (Art. 17) — request deletion of your data.

8. Cookies
We use two categories of cookies:
- Functional cookies — set by Supabase to keep you logged in. These are necessary for the service to work and are set without consent under the PECR “strictly necessary” exemption.
- Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics (when active) only after you give consent via the cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser storage for this site.

Theorio is intended for users aged 16 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 16, please email info@theorio.co.uk and we will delete it.
