The short version
FlowState was built by two Milken students (Eli and Liam) to help our classmates study smarter. We don't sell your data. We don't show ads. We only collect what we need to make the app work.
What we collect
- Google account info — your name and email, used to sign you in.
- Blackbaud iCal feed URL — the link you paste so we can pull your assignments. We never see your Blackbaud password.
- Assignment data — title, due date, points, subject — pulled from your Blackbaud feed.
- Chat messages — anything you send to Flowy, plus Flowy's replies. Used to keep context across the conversation.
- Plans & study content — the daily plans and flashcards/quizzes you generate.
- Usage limits — how many messages you sent today (so we can rate-limit).
Where it lives
All data is stored in a Supabase Postgres database with Row-Level Security enabled — meaning each student can only ever read or write their own rows. AI chat goes through OpenAI's API per their data usage policy (no training on your data).
What we do NOT do
- We do not sell your data to anyone.
- We do not share your data with advertisers.
- We do not look at your individual chat messages unless you flag a bug or there's a serious safety issue (slurs, self-harm, threats).
- We do not store your Google or Blackbaud passwords — sign-in is handled via OAuth.
Your rights
- You can delete your account at any time from /account → Danger zone.
- You can export your data by emailing getflowstateai@gmail.com.
- You can disconnect Blackbaud or wipe your assignments anytime.
Students under 13
FlowState is intended for high-school students. If you are under 13, please don't use the app without a parent's consent — message us and we'll help.
