Privacy Policy

AceGCSE ("we", "us") is a GCSE revision app for students. This policy explains what information the app handles, why, and your choices. We have deliberately kept data collection to the minimum needed to run the app — no advertising, no ad tracking, and product analytics collection is disabled.

Information we handle

• Account details (only if you sign in): your email address and name, via Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. You can use the core app without an account (anonymously); signing in lets you join the leaderboard and keep your Pro access across devices.
• Study data: your progress, scores, streaks, bookmarks and which questions you have practised, so the app can track your mastery and resume where you left off.
• Purchase status: whether you have an active subscription or have redeemed a code. Payments are handled entirely by Apple — we never see your card or payment details.
• App identifiers: a randomly generated display name for the leaderboard (e.g. "BlueOtter42") and an internal account identifier. These do not identify you personally.

What we do not collect

• No advertising or third-party ad/tracking SDKs.
• No usage analytics — Firebase Analytics collection is switched off in the app.
• No location, contacts, photos, or device-tracking identifiers.

How we use information

• To provide the app: store and sync your progress and unlock purchased content.
• To run the optional leaderboard (shown under your display name, never your email).
• To respond to support requests you send us.

Service providers

We use Google Firebase (Authentication and the Firestore database) to store account and progress data on our behalf, and Apple to process purchases and subscriptions. They act as our processors under their own terms: Firebase · Apple.

Children & young people

AceGCSE is designed for GCSE students (typically aged 14–16). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under the age of digital consent in your country, please use the app with a parent or guardian's involvement. Parents/guardians may contact us to access or delete a child's data.

Your rights

Under UK/EU data protection law you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data, and object to certain processing. You can delete your account and associated data at any time in the app (Settings → Delete account), or contact us at aerion.labs@gmail.com.

Data retention & security

We keep your data while your account is active and delete it on request or account deletion. Data is stored on Google's secure infrastructure with access restricted to the app's backend. Some processing may take place outside the UK, subject to appropriate safeguards.

Changes

We may update this policy; the "last updated" date above reflects the latest version.
