Privacy Policy — Britannica App

Last Updated: June 2026

Britannica App values your privacy. This policy explains what data the app uses, what it does not collect, and how ads and local storage work.

1. Our Commitment to Privacy

Britannica App is an independent educational app designed for reading research-style content across categories like History, Science, Geography, Technology, and more.
You can use the app without creating an account, signing in, or sharing personal identity details.

This app is not affiliated with or endorsed by Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not directly collect or store the following personal information:

• Name

• Phone number

• Email address

• Home or mailing address

• Date of birth

• Government ID numbers

• Contacts, photos, camera content

• Precise GPS location

• Payment card details

No sign-up, login, OTP, social login, or registration is required.

3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

To provide app functionality, Britannica App stores limited local data on your device:

• Saved bookmarks

• Recent search terms

• Theme preference (Light Mode / Dark Mode)

This data is stored locally and is not linked to a personal account.

4. Advertising (Google AdMob)

Britannica App uses Google AdMob to show banner and interstitial ads.
Google may collect certain technical data (such as Advertising ID, device info, IP address, and ad interaction data) to serve and measure ads according to Google policies.

Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

You can manage ad personalization in your Android settings: Settings → Google → Ads

5. Offline Content and Network Use

Most educational content is available directly in the app.
Core app features can work without account creation. Internet may be used for loading ads and other network-dependent services.

6. Sharing Content

If you use your device’s share feature, sharing is handled by your selected apps (e.g., messaging/email apps). We do not receive shared content unless you explicitly send it to us.

7. Third-Party Services

Other than Google AdMob for advertising, Britannica App does not use social login or cloud account sync.

8. Cookies and Tracking

The app itself does not use browser cookies.
Ad-related data processing may be handled by AdMob/Google as part of ad serving.

9. Permissions

The app is designed to avoid unnecessary sensitive permissions.
No account permission prompt is required to use the app.

10. Data Security

Because there is no user account system, there is no personal login profile stored by us.
Locally stored app data remains on your device unless you clear app storage or uninstall the app.

11. Children’s Privacy

Britannica App is intended for general audiences.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12. Your Choices

You may clear local app data anytime: Settings → Apps → Britannica App → Storage → Clear storage
Uninstalling the app removes local bookmarks, search history, and theme settings.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updated versions will be shown inside the app.
