How Sterilize.io handles information in its online study service.
Last updated: September 29, 2026 · Version 2026.09.29.1
Camus LLC operates Sterilize.io. We store your name, email address, password hash, account preferences, study responses, saved questions, flashcard reviews, experience entries, contact messages, and records of your acceptance of our terms. We use session cookies to keep you signed in and temporary tokens for account recovery. Request information helps us limit abuse and maintain the service.
Stripe processes payments and billing details. We store Stripe customer and subscription identifiers, payment status, and billing-period information; we do not receive or store your full card number. A random browser identifier, retained for up to one year, and server-side question counts help prevent repeated free previews across accounts on the same browser. Request information also supports account-creation rate limits.
We use this information to provide your account and study tools, show study activity, respond to support requests, recover account access, and protect the service. Experience entries are a personal planning log and are not sent to HSPA. Do not enter patient information or sensitive workplace details.
Microsoft Azure hosts the application and its database in United States regions. Brevo processes recipient details and email content to deliver account, recovery, and support messages. Password reset messages contain a temporary recovery link. Authorized operators can access information needed to support and maintain the service.
Habit Of Living is a DBA of Camus LLC and the verified publisher of the Sterilize.io plugin. Connecting your account authorizes the OpenAI client to request study content and practice summaries and save answers you choose. We receive tool inputs such as the selected choice or terminology search, not the full conversation. We return the requested questions, explanations, terms, and practice summaries to OpenAI; those results become part of your conversation and are handled under OpenAI’s terms and privacy policy. We do not share your password, payment details, contact messages, or experience log through the plugin.
Public sample answers are not saved to an account. For connected accounts, we store hashed OAuth credentials, authorization records, question-delivery identifiers, selected answers, and study timestamps. These support secure access, prevent duplicate submissions, and maintain your study history. Authorization requests expire after ten minutes, approved codes after two minutes, access tokens after one hour, and refresh tokens after thirty days. Expired authorization and token records are removed during subsequent connection activity within thirty additional days; backup copies may remain under our recovery practices. Saved study answers and delivery records remain with your study history until an account-deletion request is handled. Request identifiers are hashed for narrowly scoped abuse limits; we do not use them for advertising.
You can disconnect at any time from Connected apps, which revokes account access immediately. Disconnecting does not delete existing study records or copies already in an OpenAI conversation. Use OpenAI’s conversation controls for those copies, and contact us to request deletion of Sterilize.io account data.
Account and study records remain stored to support your use of the service. Database backups support recovery and may retain earlier copies after records change. To request access, correction, or deletion of your account information, email contact@casetheory.org. We may need to verify that the account belongs to you before handling a request.
