Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 24, 2026  ·  Effective immediately

1. Introduction

Welcome to Swedish Civics ("App", "we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data when you use our iOS application.

By downloading or using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum data necessary to operate and improve the App:

• Purchase & Subscription Data: When you subscribe to Swedish Civics Premium, Apple processes the transaction. We receive only an anonymized confirmation of your subscription status through Apple's StoreKit framework. We never receive your payment details, card numbers, or Apple ID.
• Progress Data: Your lesson completion history and quiz results are stored locally on your device only using Apple's UserDefaults. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to us.
• App Settings: Your selected display language and audio playback preferences are stored locally on your device.
• Notification Preferences: If you enable daily study reminders, the App requests permission to send local push notifications. We do not use notifications for marketing or tracking. You can disable them at any time from iOS Settings.
• Crash Reports & Analytics: If you have enabled crash reporting through Apple's system, we may receive anonymized crash logs to help us fix bugs. No personally identifiable information is included.

3. Information We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any contact information
• We do not collect your location data
• We do not use advertising trackers or third-party analytics SDKs
• We do not build user profiles or sell data to any third party
• We do not access your camera, microphone, contacts, or photos
• We do not send marketing push notifications — reminders are local, scheduled on-device only

4. How We Use Your Information

The limited information we receive is used solely to:

• Verify and restore your Premium subscription status
• Diagnose and fix technical issues and crashes
• Improve the App's stability and performance

5. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following Apple-provided frameworks, which are subject to Apple's own Privacy Policy:

• StoreKit — for in-app purchases and subscription management
• AVFoundation — for local audio playback (no data is transmitted)

We do not integrate any third-party advertising networks, social media SDKs, or data brokers.

6. Data Storage & Security

All user data (progress, settings) is stored exclusively on your local device. We do not operate servers that store personal user data. Your subscription entitlement is validated directly with Apple's servers — we never store or process payment information ourselves.

7. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

8. Your Rights

Since we do not collect or store personal data on our servers, there is no personal profile to access, correct, or delete. All locally stored progress data can be cleared at any time from within the App (Settings → History → Reset All Progress).

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have rights under GDPR. Since we collect no personal data, these rights are satisfied by design.

9. Changes to This Policy

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