LectureQ does not collect personal information such as your name, email address, location, device identifiers or anything you write. There is no account to create and nothing to sign in to. The only things that reach the developer are the anonymous usage statistics described in Section 5 and any feedback you send yourself, described in Section 6.
Everything you create in the app — lectures, time blocks, notes, questions, answers, learning status and so on — is kept only in local storage (SwiftData) on your Mac, in the following location:
~/Library/Containers/com.lectureq.LectureQ/Data/Library/Application Support/LectureQ/This data is never sent to anyone outside your Mac, including the developer, and it is not synced to iCloud or any other cloud service.
In addition, the app records the date it was first installed and the number of times it has been opened in its app settings (macOS user defaults). These values are used only for the anonymous usage statistics in Section 5.
When you use Import from Markdown…, the app opens, read-only, only the file you pick yourself in the file picker. Its contents are saved as a new lecture in the app’s local storage. The app does not change the original file or access any other file.
When you choose Copy AI Prompt, text containing the selected question and related details (the lecture name, your notes from that point in the lecture, your learning status, the original question and any answer you’ve written) is copied to your Mac’s clipboard only at the moment you choose it.
LectureQ never sends this content directly to any external service, AI services included. If you paste what you copied into an external AI service, what happens next is governed by that service’s privacy policy. Please check for anything sensitive before you paste.
To know how many people use the app and to fix errors, LectureQ sends the following anonymous statistics to Apple iCloud (CloudKit). Only the developer can read them.
These statistics do not include your name, contact details or location, or anything you write, such as lectures, questions, answers or notes. They are sent only when your Mac is signed in to iCloud.
Only when you write and send it yourself — through Send Feedback in Settings (⌘,) or through Something could be better in the satisfaction prompt — the following is stored in Apple iCloud (CloudKit) and delivered to the developer:
Your lectures, questions, answers and notes are never attached to feedback automatically. Please avoid including personal information in your feedback. Choosing Contact by Email opens your default mail app, and that email is delivered through your own email provider.
The app also reads per-feature on/off settings from iCloud so that a feature with a problem can be turned off remotely. It only reads them; no information about you is sent in the process.
The only things LectureQ sends over the internet are the anonymous usage statistics in Section 5 and the feedback you send yourself in Section 6. The developer does not run any separate server. The app uses no advertising and no third-party tracking technology of any kind. Apart from sending feedback, every feature of the app works without an internet connection.
The Guide: Find Answers with AI link in the app opens this website (GitHub Pages) in your default web browser. Connections made when you visit the web page are governed by the policies of your browser and GitHub.
Because we don’t collect personal information, there is none to provide to or share with third parties. Anonymous usage statistics and feedback are stored in Apple iCloud only and are not provided to any other company.
Your data stays on your device until you delete it.
LectureQ does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.
If this policy changes, we will post the updated version on this page and revise the “Last updated” date at the top.
