1. Summary
- The app stores learning progress, settings, joker balance, and entitlement status locally on the user's device.

- The app may use Google AdMob for ads, including optional rewarded ads.
- The app does not operate a user account backend and does not collect account credentials.

2. Information Stored Locally on the Device
The app may store the following information locally on the user's device:

- Custom quiz templates and personal category/list selections created by the user inside the app.

3. Information Processed by Third-Party Services
| Service | Purpose | Possible Data Processed |
|---|---|---|
| Apple App Store / StoreKit | Processing optional in-app purchases, subscriptions, restore purchases, and subscription management. | Purchase status, product identifiers, transaction identifiers, subscription status, and Apple ID purchase information handled by Apple. |
| Google AdMob | Showing ads and optional rewarded ads. | Device information, advertising identifiers where available, IP-derived approximate region, ad interactions, diagnostics, and usage signals according to Google's policies. |
| Device operating system and browser | Opening legal pages, App Store subscription management, and system purchase flows. | Standard device and browser data required to open web pages or system purchase screens. |
4. Advertising and Tracking
The app may display ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may process advertising identifiers, device information, approximate location derived from network information, ad interactions, and diagnostics to deliver, measure, and improve ads.
If Apple App Tracking Transparency permission is requested, users may allow or deny tracking in the iOS system prompt. If permission is denied, the app should continue to provide its core learning features.
Users can also limit ad personalization through device settings where supported.
5. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions
Optional purchases and subscriptions are processed by Apple through Apple In-App Purchase. Capitals Quiz does not collect or store credit card numbers, Apple ID passwords, or bank account details.
The app may store purchase entitlement status locally so that premium access and purchased features can work correctly.
6. Data We Do Not Intentionally Collect
- No user account credentials.
- No name, phone number, or email address inside the app, unless the user voluntarily contacts support by email.
- No precise location data.
- No contacts, camera, microphone, or photo library access for core app features.
- No health, financial, biometric, or sensitive personal data.
- No user-generated public content, public comments, chat messages, or social profiles.
7. How Information Is Used
- To provide quiz, flash card, table, custom quiz, joker, and settings features.
- To remember progress, preferences, and purchase entitlement state.
- To process optional in-app purchases and subscriptions through Apple.
- To display ads and optional rewarded ads through Google AdMob.
- To diagnose technical issues and improve app reliability.
- To respond to support requests if the user contacts us.
8. Data Sharing
We do not sell user account information because the app does not create user accounts. Data may be processed by Apple and Google as described above when users use App Store purchases, subscriptions, ads, or rewarded ads.
Third-party services process data under their own terms and privacy policies. Users should review the privacy policies of Apple and Google for more information.
9. Data Retention
- Local app data remains on the device until the user resets progress where available, deletes app data through device settings, or uninstalls the app.
- Purchase and subscription records handled by Apple are retained according to Apple's policies.
- Advertising data handled by Google AdMob is retained according to Google's policies.
- Support emails are retained only as long as needed to respond and maintain support records.
10. Deleting Data
Users can delete local app data by using reset options inside the app where available, deleting the app, or removing app data from device settings where supported.
Deleting local app data does not cancel an App Store subscription. Subscriptions must be managed or canceled through Apple ID subscription settings.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect app data. However, no method of storage or transmission is completely secure.
12. Children's Privacy
Capitals Quiz is an educational app but is not directed specifically to children under 13 and is not submitted as an App Store Kids Category app. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If a parent or guardian believes a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.
13. International Processing
Third-party services such as Apple and Google may process data in countries other than the user's country of residence. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies and legal mechanisms.
14. User Rights and Choices
Depending on location, users may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of personal data. Because Capitals Quiz does not operate user accounts, many app records are stored only on the user's device and can be deleted locally.
For support requests, users can contact us at apps@tarz.net.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
