This policy explains what information the Driving License Tayari app ("the app", "we", "us") handles, why, and the choices you have. We wrote it in plain language. If anything is unclear, please email us.
- You do not need an account. We do not ask for your name, email or phone number.
- Your practice progress, scores, bookmarks and settings are saved **only on your phone**. We never receive them.
- The app shows ads from **Google AdMob**. Google may collect device information such as the advertising ID to show and measure ads. Section 4 explains this.
- We do not sell your personal information.
## 2. Information stored only on your device
The app saves the following on your phone so it can work offline and remember your progress:
- Quiz progress, scores, streaks, points, badges and statistics
- Bookmarked questions and unfinished practice sessions
- Settings: language, theme, sound, vibration, reminder time, numeral style
- **Personal emergency contacts** you choose to add on the Emergency screen (name and phone number)
This information is never uploaded to us or anyone else. You can delete it at any time:
- **Settings → Reset progress** clears your progress, statistics and bookmarks.
- You can delete each emergency contact on the Emergency screen.
- **Uninstalling the app** removes all of this data from your phone.
## 3. Information we collect
**The app does not collect or send any personal information to us.**
If the app is set to download questions from our server ("Online" question source), your phone connects to our server once when the app opens to fetch the latest question list. Like any website, the server may briefly record standard technical details such as your IP address, the time of the request and the device type. These logs are used only to keep the service running and secure. They are not used to identify you and are not shared or sold.
## 4. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The app is free and is supported by ads served by Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC.
To show and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google may collect and process:
- Your device's advertising ID (Android Advertising ID or Apple IDFA)
- IP address and approximate (coarse) location derived from it
- Device and app information, such as model, operating system, language and app version
- Ad interactions, such as which ads were shown or tapped
- Diagnostics, such as crash and performance data
This data is collected and processed by Google, not by us. Google's use of it is governed by Google's own policies:
- Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- How Google uses information from apps that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
- **Consent:** in regions where the law requires it (for example the EEA, the UK and some US states), the app shows Google's consent form before any ads load. You can change your choice later under **Settings → Ad privacy choices** when that option appears.
- **Personalised ads:** on Android, go to *Settings → Google → Ads* (or *Settings → Privacy → Ads*) to reset or delete your advertising ID. On iOS, the app asks permission before tracking (App Tracking Transparency), and you can change this in *Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking*.
- Ads in the app are limited to content suitable for a general audience.
## 5. Permissions the app uses
| Internet / network state | To load ads and, if enabled, to download the question list |
| Notifications | To send the daily practice reminder. This happens only if you allow it, and you can turn it off in Settings. |
| Run at startup | To keep your daily reminder scheduled after the phone restarts |
| Vibration | For short haptic feedback when you answer, if you have it enabled |
The app does **not** access your location (GPS), camera, microphone, photos, files or phone contacts. On the Emergency screen, tapping a number opens your phone's dialer with the number filled in. The app cannot place a call by itself.
The app is meant for people preparing for a driving licence test and is **not directed at children under 13**. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we will help remove it.
Because your progress stays on your device, it is protected by your phone's own security (screen lock, encryption). Connections to Google's ad services and to our question server use encrypted HTTPS.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data, or to object to its processing. We do not hold personal data about you, but you can:
- Delete all app data using *Settings → Reset progress* or by uninstalling the app
- Manage ad consent and your advertising ID as described in Section 4
- Contact us with any privacy request at the email below
We respect applicable privacy laws, including Nepal's Individual Privacy Act, 2075 (2018).
## 9. Not a government app
Driving License Tayari is an independent study app. It is **not affiliated with, endorsed by or run by the Government of Nepal or the Department of Transport Management (DoTM)**. For official information, visit https://dotm.gov.np.
