This policy explains how Prep Mate - Tech Interview (“we”, “the app”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our Android app distributed on Google Play. It is intended to meet transparency requirements described in Google Play’s app content and privacy and user-data expectations.
1. Data controller
The developer identified on the app’s Google Play listing is responsible for this processing. For privacy, deletion, and rights requests, use the developer contact email shown on that listing.
2. Data we collect
Depending on how you use the app, we may process:
- Account data — e.g. name, email, or user identifiers you provide when you sign in (including via third-party sign-in providers).
- App usage data — e.g. learning progress, selected technologies or difficulty preferences, and notes you save in the in-app journal.
- Content you submit — text you send to AI/chat features so we can return a response.
- Technical & security data — limited diagnostics, device/app identifiers as needed for operation, fraud prevention, and support.
- Advertising-related data — if the app shows ads, ad partners may collect or receive data under their own policies and your device settings.
3. How we use data
- Provide and improve app features (quizzes, learning, journal, AI assistance).
- Authenticate users, secure the service, and enforce limits and policies.
- Comply with law and Google Play requirements.
- Where applicable, serve or measure ads in line with platform rules and consent where required.
4. Who may access data
Access is limited to us, our service providers (e.g. hosting, authentication, analytics or ad SDKs as used in the app), and parties if required by law. Each third party processes data under its own policy where it acts as a separate controller or processor. We do not sell your personal information as a commodity; standard ad/analytics SDKs may use data as described in their policies.
5. Sharing & transfers
We share data with providers strictly as needed to run the app. Some providers may be in countries other than yours; where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses) as offered by those services.
6. Retention & deletion
We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law.
To request deletion of your account or personal data we hold, email us using the developer contact email on our Google Play listing, or use any account or data-deletion option offered in the app. We aim to respond within about 30 days. Some requests may take longer if they are complex or if we must keep certain information to comply with law.
7. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
8. Children
The app is intended for the age group indicated on our Google Play listing. Parents and guardians should decide whether the app is suitable before a child uses it.
Where the listing targets children under applicable local rules (for example, under 13 in the U.S. under COPPA), we treat children’s data in line with Google Play’s Families policies and applicable law. We encourage parents and guardians to supervise sign-in, chat, AI features, and any purchases or account settings.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live (e.g. EEA/UK GDPR), you may have rights to access, rectify, delete, restrict, object to, or port your data. Contact us using the developer contact email on our Google Play listing to exercise these rights (see also section 6 for deletion).
10. Changes
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date above will change. Continued use of the app after updates may mean you accept the revised policy where allowed by law.
