Tabib Talk teaches medical Arabic and history taking to medical students. This policy explains exactly what we collect, why, who can see it, and how to get rid of it. It describes what the software actually does — not what we might do one day.
The short version. We collect the details you type when you sign up, and what you do in the course, so your progress follows you between devices. We do not use any analytics or tracking, we do not run advertising networks, we never see your card or bank details, and we do not sell or share your data with anyone for their own purposes.
Tabib Talk is operated from India by the person who runs tabibtalk.com. For anything in this policy, including requests to see or delete your data, contact thetabibtalk@gmail.com.
All of these are asked for on the signup form, and all are required to create an account:
| What | Why we ask |
|---|---|
| Email address | It is how you sign in, and how we can reach you about your account |
| Full name | Shown on your account page; your first name only appears to other students |
| Phone number | So we can reach you about a payment or an account problem |
| College / university | Places you on the university leaderboard |
| Nationality | Helps us understand which dialects and content to build next |
| Year or grade | Same — it tells us who the course is being used by |
You can change any of these at any time from My Account, on the website or in the app. Your email address is the one exception, because it is what you sign in with.
So that your progress is the same on every device you use, we store: lesson sections you have passed, test and quiz scores, days you studied and time spent, your streak, bookmarks, saved questions, and where you left off. We also store a nickname and emoji if you choose them for the leaderboard.
Signing in is handled by Firebase Authentication, a Google service. It holds your email address and, if you use email sign-in, a securely scrambled version of your password. We never see or store your actual password. If you sign in with Google, we receive your email address from Google and nothing else.
Accounts are limited to a small number of devices, because a single subscription is for one person. To enforce that we store a random identifier generated by your browser, the browser and operating system name your browser reports, and when it was first and last used. This is not a tracking profile and is not used for anything else.
Payments are made by bank or wallet transfer — InstaPay, UPI or PayPal — directly to us, and checked by hand. You send us the transaction reference number from your own payment app, and we store that along with which plan and amount it was for.
We never receive, see or store your card number, bank login, CVV or any other payment credential. Those stay entirely with your own bank or payment provider. There is no automatic renewal and nothing is ever charged without you choosing to pay.
Most of what we hold is private to you. These are the only things visible to others, so there are no surprises:
Your email address, phone number, nationality, year of study, scores, bookmarks and payment history are never shown to other students.
We use a small number of services to run Tabib Talk. They process data on our behalf only:
| Service | What it does |
|---|---|
| Google Firebase | Sign-in, and the database holding your account and progress |
| Vercel | Hosts and serves the website |
| Google Fonts | Supplies the typefaces the pages use |
| Cloudflare CDN | Supplies one small library used to create shareable phrase images |
Data is stored on Google and Vercel infrastructure, which may be located outside your country. Both operate under standard international data-protection safeguards.
The audio you hear when a phrase is read aloud is generated by your own device using the voice built into your phone or computer. The text is never sent to us or to anyone else to produce that sound.
Tabib Talk is intended for medical students and qualified professionals. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, write to us and we will delete it.
We keep your account and progress for as long as your account exists, so that returning after a break does not cost you your work. Payment records are kept for accounting purposes. Shared Feed posts expire automatically after seven days, though a phrase you bookmarked stays in your own bookmarks permanently.
When you ask us to delete your account, we remove your account record, your progress, your bookmarks, your posts and your friend connections.
You can, at any time:
Write to thetabibtalk@gmail.com for either of the last two. We aim to respond within 30 days.
The site is served entirely over an encrypted connection. Passwords are handled by Firebase Authentication and are never visible to us. The database cannot be read or written by any browser directly — every request goes through our server, which is also why your streak and scores cannot be edited from a phone. Administrative access is restricted.
No system is perfectly secure, and we will not pretend otherwise. If a breach ever affects your data, we will tell you.
If this policy changes in a way that materially affects you, we will update the date at the top and let you know in the app. Continuing to use Tabib Talk after that means you accept the updated policy.
