RPL & PPL Exam Prep Australia Privacy Policy

RPL & PPL Exam Prep Australia has no account and no third-party ads. Questions and explanations are built into the app and work offline. Your answers, notes and study history stay on your device. Only two things leave the app: usage statistics from Google Analytics for Firebase (described below; you can turn them off), and a message you choose to send with "Send feedback", described in the "Feedback" section.

What stays on your device

The app keeps the following on your phone or tablet only. None of it is sent to the developer.

• Your study record: which questions you answered and whether you were right, when each question is due for review, your bookmarks, your mock exam results and an unfinished mock exam.
• Your settings: vibration on answer, the first-launch notice, and your choice about usage statistics (with the time and the version of the text you saw).
• A record of the problem reports you wrote (the latest 200): the question ID, the reason, your note and the app and question bank versions.
• The result and time of the last check with the App Store or Google Play, so the app keeps working offline.
• Whether the app has already asked you for a store rating.
• The date you first opened the app, used to run the free week.
• A random install identifier and the time of your last sent feedback, used only by "Send feedback" (see below).

Other apps by the developer

The app shows cards for other apps made by the same developer: in a panel when you open the app and at the top of Settings. These are the only promotions in the app; there are no ads from other companies and no advertising ID is used.

• On Android, the app checks on your device whether those apps are already installed, so it can leave them out. The result stays on your device and is not sent anywhere.
• On iPhone and iPad, the app does not check which apps are installed.
• Tapping a card opens that app's page in Google Play or the App Store. You can close the panel, or choose "Don't show today".

Usage statistics (Google Analytics for Firebase)

• What is sent: which screens you open, which features you use (for example "started a mock exam"), steps of the first-run notice, error codes when something fails, when the plans screen is shown and when a purchase starts. Firebase also records in-app purchase events with the product and price, and basic device information (device model, operating system and app versions). Google estimates an approximate location (country or region) from your IP address.
• What is never sent: question text, your answers, your notes or problem reports, your name or email address.
• Firebase keeps a random app instance ID on your device to count visits. It does not identify you by name. We do not use the advertising ID (IDFA on iPhone and iPad, advertising ID on Android) and do not use the data for advertising.
• Your choice: In the European Economic Area and Switzerland we ask first and collect only if you agree. Elsewhere statistics are on by default. You can turn them off at any time in Settings › Send app usage statistics. Turning them off stops collection and deletes the analytics data stored on your device.
• Google processes this data under its own terms and privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). Statistics are kept for 14 months and then deleted.

Device backups and moving to a new phone

• Android: the app turns off Android backup, so nothing it stores is included in Google cloud backup. One exception: the date you first opened the app is also saved with Google Play services (Block Store), with cloud backup turned off, so the free week does not restart after reinstalling. Android may copy that date when you move directly from an old phone to a new one. It is not sent to the developer.
• iPhone and iPad: your study record and problem reports are left out of device backups (iCloud Backup and computer backups). The date you first opened the app is kept in the device keychain as "this device only": it is not synced through iCloud Keychain and does not move to a new device. Your other settings are saved like ordinary app settings, so they can be included in your own iCloud Backup or computer backup.

Purchases

Monthly and yearly subscriptions and the one-time Lifetime purchase are sold only through the App Store or Google Play. Payment details are handled by the store; the app and the developer never receive them. To check whether you have an active plan, the app asks the store on your device. Cancellations and refunds are handled in the store's subscription settings.

Problem reports

When you report a problem with a question, the app opens your own email app with a message filled in: the question ID, the reason you chose, your note, the start of the question text, the question bank version and the app version. Nothing is sent until you press send in your email app. We use these emails only to fix questions and answer you.

Feedback (optional)

Only when you write a message in Settings › Help › "Send feedback" and tap Send, the app sends: your message, the app version, whether the app runs on iOS or Android, and a random install identifier created by the app on your device (used only to spot repeated or spam messages; it is not a device or advertising identifier). Your answers, notes, progress and exam date are never included. Please do not put your name or contact details in the message. It is stored with our database provider Supabase, Inc. and read only by the developer. To have a message you sent deleted, email the address below.

Rating request

The app may ask once for a rating through the store's built-in rating prompt. What you choose there goes to the store, not to the developer.

Deleting your information

You can delete your study record and the record of your problem reports in Settings › Reset progress. Turning off usage statistics deletes the analytics data on your device. Uninstalling the app removes everything it stores on your device, except the date you first opened the app (device keychain on iPhone and iPad; Google Play services Block Store on Android phones with Google backup on), so the free week does not restart. Copies in your own device backups follow the backups you keep.

Third parties

The developer does not sell or share personal data. Processors: Supabase, Inc. (stores feedback you send) and Google LLC (usage statistics, see above). Besides these, the app uses Apple's and Google's own tools for purchases, the rating prompt and the free-week date (StoreKit and the device keychain on iPhone and iPad; Google Play Billing, Google Play In-App Review and Google Play services Block Store on Android).

Not affiliated with CASA
