Privacy Policy - Australian Citizenship Test

This Privacy Policy describes how AzadStudio ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our AU Citizenship Test 2026 mobile application (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your study progress and preferences are stored locally on your device and may be synced to our secure servers if you create an account. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

Service Providers: We may share information with third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf (e.g., hosting, analytics, customer support)
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or in response to valid legal requests
Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale, or transfer of company assets
With Your Consent: When you have given us permission to share your information

5. Third-Party Services

The App may use third-party services that collect information. These may include:

Apple App Store (for app distribution and in-app purchases)
Analytics services to understand App usage
Crash reporting services to improve App stability

These third parties have their own privacy policies governing the use of your information.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information
Data Portability: Request a copy of your data in a portable format
Opt-Out: Opt out of certain data processing activities

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the App and fulfil the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal purposes.

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have different data protection laws. We take appropriate safeguards to ensure your information remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy in the App and updating the "Effective Date" above. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.

11. Our Website and Advertising

This section covers azadstudio.net — our website and the ad landing pages for this app — rather than the app itself, which is described above.

When you visit our website or one of the landing pages we advertise, we and the providers below may record: the pages you view and which version of a page you were shown; the address of the page that referred you; your browser's user-agent string and the device and platform we derive from it; your country; simple interactions such as scrolling three quarters of the way down a page or pressing a download button; and, if you arrive from one of our ads, the identifiers Google adds to the link (gclid, wbraid, gbraid) together with campaign, keyword and utm parameters.

We do not store your IP address. It is converted to an irreversible salted hash, so repeat visits can be counted without identifying you, and your country is determined on our own servers rather than by sending your address to anyone else.

We use:

Google Analytics 4 — how the site is used: visits, page views, approximate location, device and referral data.
Google Ads conversion tracking — tells Google when a visit that began with one of our ads reached a download button, so we can measure what our advertising achieved.
Microsoft Clarity — heatmaps, scroll depth and session replay, which record how a page was used (clicks, scrolling, mouse movement) rather than who used it.

Google and Microsoft process this data under their own privacy policies, which involves it being handled outside your country.

Your choices. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we ask you before any of this is enabled: until you accept, advertising and analytics storage is denied and no cookies are set for those purposes. Your answer is remembered on our website for 180 days, and you can change it at any time with the Cookie settings button in the footer of any page. Elsewhere these measurements run by default.

Full details are in our website privacy policy.
