Lagda is coming soon to iOS. This page describes how Lagda will work and is being finalised before the app is released. Questions are welcome at [email protected].
In short
The essentials
- Your study notes and your signature are kept on your device and in your own iCloud, not on Lagda's servers.
- Your signature is never placed on a shared card unless you turn that on.
- On this website, the only thing we store is the email address you give us for the launch notice. We also measure how the site is used, with Google Analytics.
- We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for advertising.
This website
The launch notice
If you ask for a launch notice, we store your email address, the form you used, and the time you signed up. We use it to write to you once, when Lagda is on the App Store. That email has a link that removes your address in one step, and you can also ask us to remove it at any time.
The name field and the signature pad
The name you type at the top of the home page and the signature you draw at the bottom stay in your browser. They are never sent to us, and they are gone when you close the page.
The free tools
The planner and the countdown card work in your browser. The numbers you enter in the planner and the name you type on a card are not sent to us; a plan leaves your browser only if you copy and share its link yourself.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to learn which pages and tools people use, so we know what to improve. It records the pages you visit, the buttons and links you press, the kind of device and browser you use, and your approximate location from your IP address. It never receives what you type: not your email address, not a name on a card, not your planner numbers and not a search of the list of passers. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy, and you can stop it by blocking cookies for this site or using Google's opt-out browser add-on.
Cookies
The site sets two cookies that it needs to work: a session cookie, and a security token that protects the launch notice form from forged requests. Google Analytics sets its own cookies to tell visits apart. We do not use advertising cookies.
Fonts
The site's typefaces are served by Google Fonts. When a page loads, your browser requests them from Google, which receives your IP address as part of that request. Google's own privacy policy applies to that request.
Server records
Like any website, our servers receive technical information with each request, such as your IP address and browser type. We use it only to run the site and keep it secure, for example to stop the launch form from being flooded.
The Lagda app
| Information | Where it is kept |
|---|---|
| Your signature | On your device and in your own iCloud. Never placed on a shared card unless you turn that on. |
| Filed sentences and notes | On your device and in your own iCloud. |
| Books, pages and study hours | On your device and in your own iCloud, to build your plan. |
| Sessions and your record | On your device and in your own iCloud. |
| Grades you enter as a retaker | On your device and in your own iCloud, to set where your plan starts. |
iCloud is provided by Apple under your Apple Account, and Apple's terms and privacy policy apply to it. You can remove Lagda's data at any time by deleting the app and its iCloud data in your device settings.
Purchases
Paid features are bought through Apple's App Store. Apple handles the payment, and we never receive your card details. We receive only what Apple provides to confirm that a purchase was made.
Who we share with
We do not sell or rent your information. We share it only with service providers that help us run Lagda, such as our hosting provider and the service that sends the launch email. They act on our instructions. We also share it where the law requires us to.
How long we keep it
We keep your launch notice email until we have written to you about the launch, and then for 30 days so we can answer replies. After that it is deleted automatically. If you ask us to remove it sooner, or use the link in the email, it is deleted straight away. Technical records are kept only as long as they are needed to run and secure the site.
Your rights
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), you have the right to:
- be informed about how your personal data is processed;
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- object to its processing;
- have it corrected, blocked or erased;
- receive a copy in a portable format; and
- be indemnified for damages, and to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission.
To use any of these rights, write to [email protected]. We will answer within the period the law requires.
Children
Lagda is made for people preparing for the Philippine Bar Examinations. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Changes to this policy
When Lagda changes in a way that affects your privacy, we will update this page and the date at the top. If the change is significant, we will say so in the app or by email before it takes effect.
