Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

CitizenReady ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and related services (collectively, the "App"). Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the App.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Account information: If you create an account or subscribe to Premium, we collect your email address and payment information (processed securely by our payment provider — we do not store raw card data).
• Usage data: Study progress, quiz scores, flashcard history, and feature interactions to power spaced repetition and analytics.
• Device information: Device type, operating system version, and app version for diagnostics and compatibility.
• Location (optional): If you provide your ZIP code to personalize questions (e.g., your U.S. Representative), that data is stored only on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the App and its features
• Process subscriptions and manage your Premium account
• Send you transactional emails (receipts, account notices) if you have an account
• Personalize your study experience (streaks, spaced repetition scheduling)
• Analyze aggregate, anonymized usage trends to improve the App
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Sharing of Information

We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: Trusted third-party vendors (e.g., payment processors, cloud hosting, analytics) who assist us in operating the App under strict confidentiality obligations.
• Legal requirements: When required by law, court order, or governmental authority.
• Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Subscriptions and Payments

Premium subscriptions are processed through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. We do not directly handle or store your payment card information. All billing is managed by the respective platform under their own privacy and security policies. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your device's subscription settings.

6. Children's Privacy

The App is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the address below and we will promptly delete such information. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Security

We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Opt out of certain data uses

To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
