We may use Firebase services for authentication, notifications, and other application-related functionality.

Depending on the Firebase services enabled in the App, Firebase may process information such as email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, user-agent information, and other service-related data. Firebase

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

We may use Amazon Web Services to store and process application and user-related data required to provide the App's functionality.

Data stored through AWS may include account-related information, user IDs, mock test results, scores, attempts, and other application data necessary for the services we provide.

Google AdMob

4. Advertising and Advertising ID

Preparation Guide may display personalized or non-personalized advertisements depending on the user's device settings, applicable laws, advertising provider settings, and our configuration.

Google Play requires apps using advertising identifiers for advertising purposes to use the Android Advertising ID when available rather than other device identifiers for advertising purposes. Google Help

Users may be able to reset or delete their Android Advertising ID through their device settings.

When advertising personalization is disabled or an advertising identifier is unavailable, advertising providers may use other permitted information or provide non-personalized/contextual advertising depending on their configuration and applicable policies. Google Help

6. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

Information transmitted to supported services may be protected using encryption in transit, such as HTTPS.

Firebase states that its services use HTTPS for data in transit and that several Firebase services also encrypt data at rest. Firebase

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.


7. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the App's services, maintain account functionality, preserve test history and results, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the security of the App.

When information is no longer required, we may delete or anonymize it in accordance with our applicable retention practices and legal requirements.

Certain information may also remain temporarily in backups or logs before being securely removed in accordance with our retention processes.


8. Account Deletion

If you have created an account, you may request deletion of your account and associated personal data.

Preparation Guide will provide an account deletion mechanism within the App and/or through an external web-based deletion request process.

When an account deletion request is completed, we will delete information associated with the account unless we are legally required or permitted to retain certain information.

Some information may need to be retained for legitimate legal, security, fraud-prevention, or regulatory purposes.

Google Play requires apps that allow account creation to provide users with an accessible account deletion option both within the app and through an external web resource. Google Help
