CitizenReady Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 2, 2026

CitizenReady ("the app", "we") helps you prepare for the US naturalization civics test and interview. We built it to work on your device and to collect as little as possible. This policy explains what the app handles, why, and the choices you have.

Summary

• You don't need an account. We don't ask for your name, email or phone number.
• Your study progress and settings stay on your device.
• We don't show ads, we don't track you across other apps or websites, and we don't sell your data.
• Purchases are handled by Apple. RevenueCat, our subscription provider, receives purchase records linked to a random ID.

Information stored on your device

The app keeps the following only on your iPhone or iPad:

• Your study progress: which questions you practiced, answered correctly or missed, your favorites and your mock interview scores.
• Your settings: test version (2008 or 2025), the state or territory you choose, your interview date, explanation language, reminder and read-aloud preferences.

We don't receive this information. It may be included in your device backups (for example iCloud Backup) according to your own device settings. Deleting the app deletes it from your device. You can also erase your progress anytime in the app under Settings > Reset all progress.

Microphone and speech recognition

If you choose to answer out loud, the app asks for access to your microphone and to speech recognition. Your speech is turned into text by Apple's speech recognition so your answer can be checked. On devices that support it, this happens entirely on your device. On other devices, Apple may process the audio on its servers under Apple's Privacy Policy.

The app does not record or keep audio, and it does not save what you said. Only whether an answer was correct is stored on your device. Answer checking, including Apple's on-device language model on supported devices, runs on your device. Voice features are optional: you can always type your answers.

Purchases and subscriptions

Payments are processed by Apple. We never see or store your payment card or Apple Account details.

We use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions and unlock Pro features. To do this, RevenueCat receives a random app user ID created on your device, your purchase and subscription history (products, dates, prices, trial status), and basic technical information such as app version, device model, operating system and approximate country (derived from the IP address or App Store country). This information is used to provide and restore your purchases, prevent fraud and give us aggregated sales reports. RevenueCat processes it on our behalf; see the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, the app schedules reminders on your device, such as a countdown to your interview or a reminder before a free trial ends. These are local notifications created on your phone; we don't use a server to send them.

What we don't do

• No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
• No tracking as defined by Apple's App Tracking Transparency.
• No analytics or crash reporting tools other than what Apple provides to developers with your consent in your device settings.
• No sale or sharing of personal information for marketing.
• No location tracking. The state you choose is used only to show the right answers.

Children

The app is meant for adults preparing for the naturalization test and is not directed to children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your choices and rights

• Turn microphone, speech recognition or notification access on or off anytime in your device's Settings.
• Erase your progress in the app, or delete the app.
• Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.
• Ask us to delete the purchase records linked to your random app user ID, or ask what we hold, by contacting us. Depending on where you live (for example California or the European Union), you may have additional rights to access, correct or delete your information, and we will honor them.

Data retention

Information on your device stays until you erase it or delete the app. Purchase records held by RevenueCat are kept as long as needed to provide your purchases and meet legal and accounting obligations, and are deleted on request where the law allows.

Not affiliated with the government

CitizenReady is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to USCIS or any government agency. Questions come from the public USCIS civics test lists.

Changes to this policy

If we change how the app handles information, we will update this page and its effective date. Important changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
