1. Information We Collect
We collect information necessary to provide the app’s features, monitor performance, and improve the user experience. Types of information we may collect include:
- Usage and App Data: Progress, test results, settings, and other in‑app data you generate while using English Prep - B2 FCE.
- Technical and Device Data: Device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, IP address, and crash reports.
- Identifiers: A generated identifier (provided by Firebase Authentication or other system) that links your app instance and stored progress data. This identifier is used to associate progress and settings with a device or user session.
- Transaction Data: Information related to in‑app purchases (purchase status, receipt, product identifiers). Payment processing is handled by the platform (Google Play) and payment providers — we do not store full payment card details.
2. Firebase Services and Third‑Party Services
English Prep - B2 FCE uses Firebase services provided by Google. These services may collect and process data as described below. For details about Google’s data practices, review Google’s privacy documentation.
- Firebase Authentication: Used to manage identifiers for app instances and users. We currently use anonymous authentication but may support additional sign‑in methods (such as Google sign-in) in the future. Authentication identifiers help link progress and preferences to a user or device.
- Cloud Firestore: Stores app progress, test results, and configuration data. Firestore stores the generated identifier used to associate user data; it does not need to store names or email addresses unless you later choose to add optional sign‑in that collects that information.
- Firebase Analytics: Collects usage metrics (events, screen views, engagement) to help us understand how the app is used and to improve the product.
- Firebase Crashlytics: Collects crash reports and diagnostics to help identify and fix stability issues.
- In‑App Billing / Google Play: We use the platform billing system to process purchases. Google Play and its payment processors handle payment details; we receive purchase receipts and status information necessary to unlock premium features.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information for purposes including:
- Providing, operating, and improving the app and its features.
- Recording and restoring user progress and settings.
- Processing in‑app purchases and managing subscriptions or entitlements.
- Monitoring app performance and diagnosing crashes or errors.
- Analyzing usage trends to enhance the user experience.
4. Data Retention
We retain data (such as progress and diagnostics) for as long as necessary to provide the service, to comply with legal obligations, and to resolve disputes. If you request deletion of your data, we will delete or anonymize it in accordance with applicable laws and our internal procedures.
5. Sharing and Disclosure
We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: With trusted third‑party vendors who perform services on our behalf (hosting, analytics, crash reporting, payment processing). These providers are contractually obligated to protect the data and may only use it to provide services to us.
- Legal Requirements: When required by law, regulation, or valid legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of users or others.
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, or sale of assets, users will be notified and we will require the buyer to honor this Privacy Policy.
- Aggregated or De‑identified Data: We may share non‑identifiable aggregated data for analytics or research.
6. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or delete your data. You can request deletion of your data or ask questions by contacting us at the email address below. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.
7. Children
English Prep - B2 FCE is intended for a general audience. We do not target children under the age of 13. If you believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us to request deletion.
8. Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information. However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. International Transfers
Data may be stored and processed in any country where our service providers operate. By using the app, you consent to transfers of data to countries that may have different data protection laws than those in your country.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the Effective Date above and may provide additional notice within the app or via email.
