Privacy policy
examARnow works without an account and keeps your progress in your own browser. Analytics and advertising are used only if you accept them. Draft text pending legal review.
1. Controller
Privacy contact: examo.arnau@gmail.com or the in-app “Report a problem” button (contact).
2. Summary
- Without an account, everything is stored only in your browser. We use no first-party tracking cookies.
- Analytics (Google Analytics 4) and advertising (Google AdSense) are only enabled if you accept them in the cookie notice. You can change this any time (“Cookie settings” in the footer and in Settings).
- If you say you are under the age of digital consent in your country, we treat your choice as “rejected”: no analytics or advertising.
- We do not sell your data.
3. What data we process and why
| Data | Where | Purpose and legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Progress, settings, mistakes, streak, achievements, language | Your browser (localStorage) | Make the app work. Necessary; not sent to our servers. |
| Age range and country (optional) | Your browser; in the cloud if you have an account | Apply minor protection and the right age of consent. Consent. |
| Account (email, Google name), attempts and subscription | Firebase / Google Cloud (if you create an account) | Keep your progress across devices and manage Premium. Performance of the service. |
| “Report a problem” and “Request an exam” messages | Firebase (if active) or your browser until sent. Each message is also forwarded by email to the team through FormSubmit (formsubmit.co), a form-to-email service | Reply and improve the service. Legitimate interest. |
| Record of your cookie choice (random anonymous id, categories, date, whether you are a minor) | Firebase | Prove consent (GDPR art. 7.1). Legal obligation. |
| Usage statistics (page views, completed sessions, selected exam; age range, country and language) | Google Analytics 4 | Understand and improve examARnow. Only with your consent; no name or email. |
| Aggregated daily user count (one +1 per browser per day to a total: with or without an account, mobile or desktop, site language and the exam you use) | Firebase | Know how many people use examARnow each day. Only if you accept analytics or are signed in, and never if you told us you are under the age of digital consent; your name, email, id, IP or anything else that identifies you is never stored, only the day's total. Your browser keeps only the date of the last counted day (mx-dau-v1). Consent or, when signed in, legitimate interest. |
| Non-personalised ads | Google AdSense | Fund the free service. Only with your consent, never while you study. |
4. Advertising and minors
When ads are shown they are non-personalised (based on page context, not your profile) and only on calm screens (home, results, statistics, achievements and guides), never during a practice or test. We show no ads and use no analytics for users under the age of digital consent (13–16 depending on the country). examARnow is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their personal data.
5. Who we share data with
With providers acting on our behalf: Google (Firebase, Analytics, AdSense), FormSubmit (email forwarding of “Report a problem” and “Request an exam” messages) and, if payments exist, Stripe or Paddle. Some are in the US; transfers rely on standard contractual clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. We do not pass data to third parties for their own commercial purposes.
6. Retention
Browser data is under your control (delete it in Settings). Account data, while you keep the account. Analytics, 2 months. Consent records, as long as needed to prove consent.
7. Your rights
You can request access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction and portability, and withdraw consent at any time, by writing to the privacy contact. You can download or delete your data in Settings. If you are not satisfied you may complain to your supervisory authority (in Spain, the AEPD: aepd.es; in Andorra, the APDA).
8. Changes
If our purposes change we will ask for your consent again. The date above shows the latest version.
