# Privacy Policy for CDL Prep 2026
**Last updated:** February 25, 2026
CDL Prep 2026 (“the App”) is an iOS study app for the Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) written test. This policy describes how the App handles information.
---
## 1. Information We Collect
The App is designed to work **without an account**. We do not collect your name, email, or any other personally identifiable information.
**Data stored only on your device**
The following data is stored locally on your iPhone or iPad using your device’s standard storage (e.g., UserDefaults). It never leaves your device and is not sent to our servers or any third party:
- **Progress** — How many questions you’ve answered per category and in total
- **Missed questions** — Question IDs for the “Review missed” feature
- **High scores** — Your best score per category
- **Bookmarks** — Questions you’ve bookmarked for later
- **Settings** — Your preferences (e.g., default quiz length, practice exam length, sound and haptics on/off)
- **Onboarding** — Whether you’ve seen the first-launch intro (so we don’t show it again)
We do not have access to this data. You can delete it at any time using **Settings → Clear all progress and data** in the App.
---
## 2. No Account or Server Collection
You do not sign in to use the App. We do not operate servers that collect or store your usage data. All progress and preferences stay on your device.
---
## 3. Third-Party Links (State CDL Manuals)
The App includes links to official state CDL manuals and sample tests. When you tap a link, the content may open in an in-app browser (e.g., Safari View Controller). Those sites are operated by state agencies (e.g., DMVs) and are not under our control. Their own privacy policies and practices apply when you visit them. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any site you open from the App.
---
## 4. Advertising
At this time, the App may show a placeholder where advertising could appear. **We do not currently use third-party advertising SDKs that collect data.**
If we add advertising (e.g., Google Mobile Ads / AdMob) in the future, we will update this policy to describe what data may be collected for ads and will, where required, obtain consent and provide options (e.g., opt-out) in line with applicable law (including the App Store’s requirements and GDPR/CCPA where applicable).
---
## 5. Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
---
## 6. Data Security
Because the data described above is stored only on your device, its security depends on your device’s security (e.g., passcode, biometrics, and device encryption). We do not transmit this data over the internet.
---
## 7. Your Rights and Choices
- **Delete your data:** Use **Settings → Clear all progress and data** in the App to remove all progress, scores, bookmarks, and missed-question data.
- **Uninstall:** Deleting the App removes all data stored by the App on your device.
- Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights (e.g., access, correction, portability, or deletion under GDPR, CCPA, or similar laws). Because we do not collect or hold your data on our systems, most such requests are satisfied by using the in-app “Clear all progress and data” option or uninstalling the App.
---
## 8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will be revised when we do. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy. For material changes, we may notify you in the App or via the App Store listing.
