Privacy Policy

1. About This App

US Civics Practice is a study app that helps users prepare for the United States naturalization civics interview. It contains all 100 official USCIS civics questions, flashcard and practice test modes, and progress tracking.

2. Information We Collect

We do not collect any personal information. Specifically:

• No account creation or login is required.
• No name, email address, or contact information is collected.
• No location data is collected.
• No data is transmitted to our servers — we do not operate any servers.

All app data (study progress, starred questions, test history, and your settings for dynamic answers like elected officials) is stored locally on your device only using Android's standard storage mechanisms (Room database and DataStore Preferences). This data is never transmitted anywhere.

3. Advertising (Google AdMob)

The free version of this app displays advertisements served by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and use data to show you relevant ads, including:

• Advertising identifiers (Android Advertising ID)
• Coarse location (country/region level)
• Device information (model, OS version)
• App usage data

This data is collected and processed by Google under their own privacy policy. For details, see the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses data from apps that use AdMob.

Consent: On first launch, users in regions subject to GDPR or similar laws will be shown a consent form (powered by Google's User Messaging Platform). You can change your ad consent preferences at any time in Settings → Manage Ad Consent.

Pro users who have purchased "Remove Ads" do not see any advertisements and are not subject to AdMob data collection.

4. In-App Purchases (Google Play Billing)

The app offers a one-time "Remove Ads & Unlock Pro" in-app purchase. All payment processing is handled entirely by Google Play. We do not receive, store, or process any payment information. For details, see the Google Play Terms of Service.

5. Consent Management (Google UMP)

We use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to manage advertising consent in applicable regions. UMP may store a consent string on your device. This string is used only to communicate your consent choices to advertising partners and is not transmitted to us.

6. Children's Privacy

This app is intended for adults preparing for the U.S. naturalization interview. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided information through this app, please contact us at the address below and we will take appropriate action.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

All app data is stored locally on your device. You can delete all app data at any time by going to your device's Settings → Apps → US Civics Practice → Storage → Clear Data. Uninstalling the app also removes all locally stored data.

8. Your Rights

Since we do not collect or store personal data on our servers, we cannot provide or delete data we do not have. For data collected by Google AdMob, you can:

• Reset your Android Advertising ID in your device settings.
• Opt out of personalised ads in your device's Google settings.
• Submit a data request to Google directly via their privacy tools.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
