The short version
ClinSim is a training app, not a data business. The app works fully offline — you can complete all 206 patient cases without ever creating an account. If you choose to sign in, we store only your account details and your training progress so it syncs across your devices. We show no ads, use no third-party trackers, and never sell your data.
1. What we collect
Signed-in users only
- Account information: your email address and the display name you choose. Your password is stored securely by our authentication provider and is never visible to us.
- Training progress: which cases you attempted, your scores, pass/fail results, number of actions taken, time spent, practice streaks, and personal-best scores.
- Optional leaderboard data: only if you explicitly opt in — your display name, cases completed, and average score become visible to other opted-in users.
Everyone
- On-device data: guest progress, app preferences, and offline queues are stored in your browser's local storage on your own device. This never leaves your device unless you sign in.
2. What we do NOT collect
- No real patient data — all 206 cases are fictional training scenarios.
- No location data.
- No contacts, photos, or device identifiers beyond what is needed for sign-in.
- No advertising identifiers and no behavioral tracking for advertising.
- No health data about you — your scores measure training performance, not your health.
3. How we use your data
- Progress tracking: to show your dashboard, category breakdowns, streaks, and personal bests.
- Cross-device sync: so your progress follows you from phone to laptop.
- Leaderboard: only if you opt in — to rank you among other opted-in learners.
- Improving the app: we may look at aggregated, anonymous usage statistics (e.g. which cases are attempted most) to improve training content. This never identifies you.
We do not use your data for advertising, marketing to third parties, or any purpose outside operating ClinSim.
4. Where your data is stored
Account and progress data is stored with Supabase, our backend provider, in the EU West (eu-west-1) region. Data is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. Access to the database is restricted to the app's own authenticated requests — other users cannot see your data unless you opt into the leaderboard.
5. Data sharing
We share your data with nobody except:
- Supabase (database and authentication hosting) — bound by their own privacy and security commitments.
- Legal requirements — if compelled by law, we will disclose only what is legally required.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
6. Your rights
You are in control of your data:
- Access: sign in and open "📊 My Progress" to see everything we store about your training.
- Export: use the "⬇️ Download Report" button to download your full attempt history as a CSV file.
- Delete: contact us (see below) and we will delete your account and all associated progress data. Deleting the app from a guest session clears local data from that device.
- Opt out: you can turn off leaderboard visibility at any time, or simply use the app signed out — it works fully offline.
7. Children's privacy
ClinSim is designed for medical students and healthcare trainees aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
8. Data retention
We keep your account and progress data for as long as your account exists, so your training history is preserved. If you delete your account, associated data is removed. Anonymous, aggregated statistics may be retained for improving the app.
9. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we will update the "Last updated" date below and, where practical, notify signed-in users inside the app. Continued use of ClinSim after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.

Questions about privacy, or requests to access or delete your data:
ClinSim is developed by a medical student at JAIU as an educational training tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice.
