Core Privacy Commitment: We DO NOT sell, rent, monetize, or share your personal information with third-party advertising networks or commercial data brokers. We require zero account registration, zero sign-up, and zero personal tracking. Your study records and test attempts remain sandboxed locally on your iOS device.

2. Categories of Information Processed
- Local Client-Side Study Data (Sandboxed SQLite): Your practice test attempts, readiness scores, streak days, bookmarks, exam dates, and mistake logs ("The Brig") are stored on your physical iOS device inside the app's sandboxed SQLite database. This data is never sold or shared with third-party advertisers.
- In-App Purchases & Apple Refund Consumption Data (Apple StoreKit & RevenueCat): Subscriptions are processed directly by Apple Inc. via StoreKit. Our entitlement verification service (RevenueCat) receives only an anonymous, non-identifying cryptographic receipt token to unlock your Pro Pass entitlement on your device. In addition, when resolving a refund request submitted to Apple at
reportaproblem.apple.com, we share anonymous transaction consumption telemetry (such as active study/play time, content consumption status, delivery confirmation, sample content availability, and refund preference) directly with Apple Inc. via the App Store Server API in accordance with Apple's refund review policies. We never receive, process, or store your name, credit card number, banking credentials, or billing address.
- Interactive AI Tutor & Voice Interrogation ("Ask Sarge"): When you type or speak a question to the AI tutor, the practice question context and your prompt are transmitted securely via TLS 1.3 encryption to our stateless Cloudflare Worker inference proxy (powered by Google Gemini API) solely to generate the real-time educational explanation. Optional voice input uses native iOS Speech Recognition on your device solely while you hold or tap the microphone button; raw audio is never stored or retained by us.
- Zero Tracking & Zero Third-Party Ad Networks: Our applications contain zero third-party advertising SDKs, zero cross-app tracking, and do not access your contacts, location, photos, or camera.
3. Data Deletion & User Sovereignty
Because our apps require no user account creation and store study data locally on your device, you have immediate, 100% self-service control over your data at all times:
- Instant Local Purge: Navigate to Profile > "Reset All Data & Restart Setup" inside the app to immediately erase and rebuild your local SQLite database.
- App Uninstallation: Deleting the app from your iOS device immediately and permanently deletes all sandboxed files and local databases from your hardware.
- Support Correspondence Erasure: If you have emailed our support desk and wish to have your email correspondence deleted, contact us at the email address below for immediate erasure.
4. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K)
Our applications are professional, academic, and vocational licensure study tools intended for adults and young adults preparing for credentialing examinations. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children under 13.
