3. Advertising & Third-Party Services

The app is supported by advertising. We work with third-party ad networks that collect and use information to display ads. Ads may be personalized (based on your interests) or non-personalized (contextual).

Third-Party Advertising Networks & Services:

What Information Ad Networks Collect:

  • Advertising Identifiers: Google Advertising ID (AAID) on Android and Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) on iOS – unique, user-resettable identifiers for advertising purposes
  • Device Information: Device type, model, operating system version, screen size, mobile network information
  • IP Address: Used to derive approximate geographic location (country/city level) for ad targeting and fraud prevention
  • Ad Interaction Data: Which ads were shown, viewed, clicked, or interacted with
  • App Activity: Information about how you use the app to help determine relevant advertisements

Personalized vs. Non-Personalized Ads:

  • Personalized ads are tailored to you based on your advertising ID, interests, and previous ad interactions across apps and websites
  • Non-personalized ads are based only on contextual information (like app content you're viewing) and general location, without using your advertising ID for targeting

Additional Ad Partners: The ad networks listed above may work with additional advertising partners and demand sources. These partners operate under their own privacy policies and may also collect device and interaction data.

4. Data Storage & Permissions

The app stores data both locally on your device and on our servers:

  • On your device: Favorites, learning progress, cached content, and basic in-app settings
  • On our servers: Account information (name, email, user ID), learning progress, streaks, review history, favorites, and notification preferences
  • With third parties: Ad preferences and frequency capping data (managed by our advertising providers)

The app may request permissions including storage and internet access to support app features. You can change permissions in your device settings at any time.
