Last updated: 26 May 2026
Questions, answers, attempts and progress are stored in your browser on this device.
AlphaDrill does not host, seed, sell or distribute CFA Institute content.
You can export or delete local study data from this browser.
AlphaDrill is designed as a local study tool. Imported files, generated questions, answers, notes, attempts and progress are processed and stored in your browser unless AlphaDrill clearly tells you otherwise.
AlphaDrill may process limited account, licence, payment, support and security data where needed to run the service.
Clearing browser storage, using private browsing, changing device, or deleting local files may remove your study data. You are responsible for backups.
