Privacy Policy

Panel Board Revision · Effective 8 October 2026 · Last updated 7 November 2026

Panel is a revision app for internal medicine examinations. This policy says what Panel keeps, where it keeps it, and what leaves your device. In short: there is no account, your study stays on your device, and nothing is sent to us.

No account

Panel has no sign-in, no email address and no profile. We never learn your name or any way to contact you. Panel has no server of its own, and it uses no analytics, advertising or tracking service.

What stays on your device

Everything you do in Panel is kept on your device, in Panel's own storage:

• your answers to questions and your timed sittings;
• your cards' review schedule and history;
• your highlights, notes and bookmarks;
• the rapid-review facts and mnemonics you mark;
• your settings: exam date, cards a day, reminder time, appearance and reading size.

None of it is sent to us or to anyone else. The content you study — lectures, questions, cards and images — comes inside the app and is not personal data.

iCloud

Device backup. If iCloud Backup is on for your device, Panel's storage is included in it, as Apple's backup includes any app's. Apple holds that backup under your Apple Account; we cannot read it.

Sync. Where your version offers sync, your answers, cards and notes move between your iPhone and iPad only through your own iCloud, in a private database under your Apple Account. They never pass through us and we cannot read them; Panel's iCloud switch in iOS Settings controls it.

The free trial's dates. So that reinstalling Panel does not restart the free trial, the day it began and ended are kept in your iCloud key-value storage (readable only by Panel) and in your device's keychain. These are dates only; they say nothing about what you studied.

Reminders

If you turn on the daily reminder, Panel asks your permission and schedules it on your device itself. It is never sent from a server. Turn it off in Panel's Settings or iOS Settings at any time.

Subscriptions and the free trial

Panel opens everything free for 7 days from its first launch. Then two monthly, automatically renewing subscriptions are offered, Pro and Plus. Purchases are made with Apple through the App Store; Apple processes the payment and we never see your payment details or your Apple Account's identity. The App Store tells Panel, on your device, which plan is active.

What leaves your device

Only these, and only to Apple:

• App Store purchase and subscription information, when Panel checks your plan or you buy, restore or manage one;
• the free trial's dates in your iCloud key-value storage, as above;
• sync data in your own iCloud, if sync is on;
• your device backup, if it is on;
• crash reports and usage statistics, only if you chose to share them with developers in iOS Settings (Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements). Apple collects these and shows them to us in summary; they do not identify you.

How long it is kept

Your study stays on your device until you delete Panel. Deleting Panel deletes its storage on the device; copies in iCloud follow your iCloud settings.

Your choices

• Turn the daily reminder off in Settings.
• Cancel or change a subscription in your Apple Account's subscriptions (Settings → your name → Subscriptions).
• Turn off sharing analytics with developers in iOS Settings.
• Turn Panel's sync or backup off in iCloud settings.

Children

Panel is written for doctors preparing for a professional examination. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

Changes

A change will come with a version of the app and a new "Last updated" date on this page.
