Privacy Policy

Welcome to the Canada Citizenship Test 2026 Privacy Policy. Rapidserve ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Canada Citizenship Test 2026 mobile application (the "App").

1. Information Collection and Use

1.1 Personal Information

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. Our App is designed to function without requiring:

• User registration or account creation
• Name, email, or contact information
• Payment or financial information
• Social media connections
• Location data or GPS information

1.2 Test Progress and Scores

Your practice test results, mock test scores, bookmarks, and study progress are stored locally on your device only. This means:

• Only you have access to your test data
• Data remains on your device and is never uploaded to any server
• Uninstalling the app will permanently delete all your progress
• We cannot recover lost progress as we have no access to it

1.3 Anonymous Analytics

To improve our app, we may collect minimal anonymous usage data, including:

• App open events and session duration
• General device information (device type, OS version)
• App version being used
• Country-level location (not precise location)
• Crash reports and performance metrics

This data is completely anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally.

2. Data Security

We prioritize the security of your information:

• Local Storage: All data is stored using your device's secure local storage mechanisms
• No Cloud Sync: Your study data never leaves your device
• Minimal Network Access: The app only connects to the internet to verify connectivity and serve ads
• Encryption: Device-level encryption protects your locally stored data

3. Third-Party Services

Our App uses the following third-party services:

3.1 Google Play Services / Apple App Store

• Used for app distribution and updates only
• Subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Apple's Privacy Policy

3.2 Firebase Analytics

• Collects anonymous usage statistics
• Helps us understand app performance and usage patterns
• Subject to Firebase Privacy Policy

3.3 Google AdMob and Advertising

Our App displays advertisements using Google AdMob, a service provided by Google, Inc. Google AdMob and its partners may collect certain information automatically, such as device identifiers (including the Advertising ID), advertising data, app usage data, and general location information, to deliver, personalize, and measure ads within the App.

This data collection is governed by Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

If you wish to opt out of personalized advertising, you may do so by adjusting your device's advertising preferences or visiting Google Ad Settings.

4. Children's Privacy

Our App contains educational content suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13 years of age. The app can be safely used by minors as it requires no personal information and all test data remains on-device.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have complete control over your data:

• Access: All your data is stored locally and accessible only to you
• Deletion: Clear app data anytime through your device settings
• Portability: Your local data stays with your device
• Analytics Opt-out: Disable analytics through your device's privacy settings
• Ad Personalization Opt-out: Manage ad preferences via Google Ad Settings

6. Data Retention

Since all study data is stored locally on your device:

• Data persists as long as the app is installed
• You control when to delete your data
• We retain no user data on our servers
• Anonymous analytics data is retained according to Google's policies

7. International Users

While our app focuses on the Canadian citizenship test, users from any country can use it. Regardless of your location:

• No personal data is collected or transmitted
• All study data remains on your device
• The same privacy protections apply globally

8. Legal Compliance

This Privacy Policy is designed to comply with applicable privacy laws, including:

• Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) — Canada
• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — for EU users
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) — for California residents
• Google Play Store and Apple App Store Developer Program Policies

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When we make changes:

• The "Last Updated" date at the top will be revised
• Significant changes may be notified through app updates
• Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of the updated policy

10. No Warranties

While we strive to protect your privacy, we provide the app "as is" without warranties. We are not responsible for:

• Data loss due to device issues or app uninstallation
• Unauthorized access due to device-level security breaches
• Third-party services' privacy practices

11. Official Government Information Sources

The practice questions and information in our app are based on publicly available materials from the Government of Canada. Sources include:

• Discover Canada: The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship — official IRCC study guide
• Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) public citizenship test information
• Publicly available Government of Canada fact sheets and guides

All sources are properly referenced within the app. For the most current and official information, always refer to the official IRCC website at canada.ca.

13. Consent and Acceptance
