US Citizenship Test App Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 5, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Vylora Studio ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the US Citizenship Test mobile application (the "App"). The App is an educational study tool for users preparing for the U.S. citizenship test and related interview practice.

By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly

We may collect information that you choose to provide, including:

  • Contact support information: your name, email address, contact reason, and message when you submit a support or feedback request through the App.
  • Practice settings: choices such as interface language, content language, selected test version, location/state settings, theme preferences, notification preference, and similar app settings.
  • Practice activity stored on your device: progress, bookmarks, wrong-question history, mock test history, mock interview history, and related learning statistics.

Information collected automatically

When you use the App, we and our service providers may collect certain information automatically, including:

  • Device and app information: device model, manufacturer, operating system version, app version, package or bundle identifier, locale, timezone, and similar technical information.
  • Usage and analytics information: app opens, screen views, onboarding completion, practice starts, mock test completion, mock interview completion, support submissions, language settings, selected test version, scores, pass/fail status, and other high-level app usage events.
  • Advertising identifiers and ad interaction data: where ads are shown, Google Mobile Ads may process identifiers, device information, approximate location, ad performance data, and interaction data to serve, measure, and improve ads.
  • Notification identifiers: if you opt in to push notifications, OneSignal may process a push token or subscription identifier and related device information so notifications can be delivered.
  • Remote configuration and update information: Firebase Remote Config and Google Play services may process app version, device, and technical information to provide configuration values, app update checks, and asset delivery.

Microphone and speech recognition

The App may request microphone permission for mock interview or speech practice features. Audio is used to support speech recognition on your device or through operating system speech services. We do not intentionally store, sell, or use your microphone recordings for advertising. Speech recognition availability and processing may depend on your device, operating system, and platform provider settings.

2. How We Use Information

We use information for the following purposes:

  • To provide and operate the App, including lessons, practice questions, mock tests, interview practice, progress tracking, bookmarks, and app settings.
  • To save your learning progress and preferences on your device.
  • To respond to support requests, bug reports, privacy requests, feedback, and content issue reports.
  • To understand high-level app usage and improve performance, reliability, design, content, and user experience.
  • To provide app updates, remote configuration, asset delivery, and compatibility checks.
  • To request and manage notification permission and deliver push notifications if you opt in.
  • To show, limit, measure, and improve ads, including interstitial or rewarded ads where enabled.
  • To comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, protect users, prevent abuse, and maintain security.

3. Local Storage on Your Device

A significant part of the App works locally on your device. Your practice progress, bookmarks, wrong answers, mock test history, mock interview history, app settings, and downloaded or delivered app content may be stored locally using device storage technologies such as a local database and preferences storage.

Local data usually remains on your device unless you delete it, clear the App's data, uninstall the App, or use any in-app reset option that may be available. Local data is not automatically associated with a user account because the App does not currently require account registration.

4. Information We Share

We do not sell your personal information. We may share or allow service providers to process information in the following situations:

  • Service providers: we use third-party services to provide analytics, advertising, push notifications, remote configuration, contact message handling, app updates, and asset delivery.
  • Legal and safety reasons: we may disclose information if required by law, legal process, government request, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of users, the public, us, or our service providers.
  • Business transfers: if the App or our business is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
  • With your direction or consent: we may share information when you ask us to do so or when you give permission.

5. Third-Party Services

The App may use the following third-party services. These services may collect and process information according to their own privacy policies:

  • Google Firebase Analytics: used to understand high-level app usage and improve the App. Firebase Privacy and Security
  • Firebase Remote Config: used to provide app configuration values such as update policy information. Firebase Privacy and Security
  • Firebase Firestore: used to receive and manage contact support messages that you submit. Firebase Privacy and Security
  • Google Mobile Ads / AdMob: used to serve and measure ads where enabled. Google Advertising Privacy
  • Google User Messaging Platform: used to request and manage advertising consent where required. Google Privacy Policy
  • Google Play services, Play In-App Updates, and Play Asset Delivery: used for app update checks and delivery of app assets. Google Privacy Policy
  • OneSignal: used to manage and deliver push notifications if you opt in. OneSignal Privacy Policy
  • Apple platform services: on iOS, device permissions, notifications, speech recognition, app review prompts, and other platform features may be processed according to Apple's terms and privacy policy. Apple Privacy Policy

Third-party services may collect information such as device identifiers, advertising identifiers, IP address, device and app information, diagnostic data, approximate location, interaction data, and other information needed to provide their services.

6. Ads and Consent Choices

The App may display ads through Google Mobile Ads. Depending on your region and applicable law, you may be asked to make choices about personalized ads, non-personalized ads, cookies, identifiers, or similar technologies through a consent form. The App attempts to request ads only when the applicable consent state allows it.

You may also be able to limit ad tracking or reset your advertising identifier through your device settings. These controls are provided by your device platform and may vary by operating system version.

7. Push Notifications

Push notifications are optional. If you choose to enable notifications, the App and OneSignal may process a push token, notification subscription identifier, device information, and notification interaction data to send and manage notifications.

You can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings or in any notification controls provided inside the App.

8. Contact Support Messages

If you submit a support message, we collect the information you enter and basic technical metadata so we can respond, troubleshoot, investigate content issues, and improve the App. Support messages may include any personal information you choose to include in the message field. Please do not send sensitive information unless it is necessary for your request.

9. Children and Teens

The App is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, do not submit personal information through the App.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us using the information below.

10. Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

  • Local app data: remains on your device until you delete it, clear app data, uninstall the App, or use an available reset option.
  • Support messages: may be retained for as long as needed to respond to your request, maintain support records, resolve disputes, protect against abuse, and comply with legal obligations.
  • Analytics, ads, notifications, and platform data: retention is handled by the relevant third-party provider according to its own policies and settings.

11. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, or withdrawal of consent for certain personal information.

You can exercise control in several ways:

  • Use device settings to manage microphone permission, notification permission, advertising identifier settings, and app storage.
  • Use in-app settings where available to manage app preferences, ads-related options, notifications, or local data.
  • Uninstall the App to remove locally stored app data from your device, subject to your device backup settings.
  • Contact us to request access, deletion, or correction of personal information associated with a support message or privacy request.

12. U.S. State Privacy Notices

Some U.S. state privacy laws, including California privacy laws, may give residents additional rights regarding personal information. We do not sell personal information for money. Some advertising or analytics activities may be considered "sharing," "targeted advertising," or similar terms under certain state privacy laws.

You can use device privacy controls, advertising identifier controls, consent forms where available, and in-app settings where available to manage certain advertising and tracking choices. You may also contact us to make a privacy request.

13. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission, processing, or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

14. International Processing

We and our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. These countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws where you live.

15. Educational and Government-Affiliation Notice

The App is an independent educational study tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, or any other government agency.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the effective date above. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice in the App, on our website, or through other appropriate means.
