Privacy Policy

How version 1.0 of AI Governance Prep handles information.

Effective date: August 18, 2026

Summary

Information handled by the app

The app can create or store the following information for its features:

• question review records, spaced-repetition scheduling data, answers, grades, and timestamps;
• reading milestones and timed mock-exam attempts;
• an optional exam date and local app preferences;
• optional local notification settings and schedules;
• a JSON question file that you choose to import into the app's local Application Support directory;
• temporary microphone audio and a temporary recognition transcript while Voice Drill is actively listening; and
• playback state and metadata needed to play bundled lessons or notes through the device, Bluetooth, lock screen, or CarPlay.

The app does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, payment information, advertising identifier, precise location, contacts, photos, or a publisher login.

Local storage and private iCloud sync

Bundled questions, lessons, notes, scenarios, and glossary entries ship with the app. Your imported JSON file remains in the local app container and is not uploaded by the app.

Question reviews, answers, reading milestones, and exam attempts use Apple SwiftData. The app asks the operating system to mirror that progress through the private CloudKit database associated with your Apple Account. If private iCloud setup fails, the app falls back to a local-only store and reports that status in Settings. The publisher has no developer dashboard or endpoint that exposes your private records.

iCloud processing is provided by Apple and may involve Apple's infrastructure and international data handling under your Apple Account terms. You control which apps use iCloud in device settings. Apple explains those controls at support.apple.com/en-euro/118225 and its privacy practices at apple.com/legal/privacy.

Microphone and speech recognition

Voice Drill asks for microphone and speech-recognition permission only after you deliberately start that feature. It listens for short answer choices. The app requires Apple's on-device recognition mode; if the device cannot recognize speech locally, the feature refuses to listen rather than using off-device recognition.

Microphone audio is processed in memory for the active drill and is not retained by the app after listening stops. The recognition transcript is temporary and is not saved to the study store, private iCloud database, or a publisher service. You can always answer by tapping instead. You can change microphone and speech permissions in iOS or iPadOS Settings.

Audio playback and CarPlay

Lesson and note playback uses Apple operating-system text-to-speech services. Voice Drill uses bundled prerecorded audio for compatible question, answer-option, and explanation prompts, with Apple's on-device speech synthesizer as a fallback. The prerecorded files were generated before distribution; the app does not contact the audio-generation provider or send text or audio to it at runtime.

Playback state and Now Playing metadata are handled on the device. The CarPlay screen provides a minimal control to start Voice Drill and displays talking or listening status; it does not display a full quiz or mock exam. Spoken answers are captured and recognized on the connected iPhone under the microphone and speech-recognition rules above. The app does not send playback history, microphone audio, or transcripts to the publisher.

Notifications

Study reminders are off on a new installation. The app requests notification permission only after you enable reminders. Reminder requests, due counts, delivery times, and badges are scheduled locally through Apple notification services; the app does not use a publisher push-notification server.

Purchases and Apple processing

AI Governance Prep is a USD 0.99 paid-upfront App Store app with no in-app purchases or subscriptions. Apple processes the purchase, Apple Account, payment, storefront, tax, receipt, download, and redownload information outside the app. The publisher may receive App Store sales, proceeds, tax, and financial reporting made available by Apple, but the app does not connect those reports to your study activity or collect them from your device. Apple's App Store privacy notice is at apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/app-store.

Apple-provided analytics and diagnostics

The app does not embed an analytics or crash-reporting SDK and does not send telemetry to a publisher-operated service. Apple may nevertheless provide the publisher with aggregated App Store discovery, download, sales, usage, and stability metrics. When a user has chosen to share diagnostics and usage information with app developers, Apple may also make usage or crash information available through App Store Connect or Xcode. Apple applies aggregation, privacy thresholds, and other privacy protections to its reports.

These Apple-provided reports are separate from the private CloudKit study database and do not give the publisher access to imported JSON, microphone audio, speech transcripts, answers, reading milestones, or mock attempts. Availability and fields depend on the user's Apple settings and Apple's current reporting policies. See the Analytics Reports API overview and App Store Connect app-usage documentation.

Retention and deletion

Local app information remains until you remove it, delete the app and its data using Apple device controls, or the operating system removes it. Private iCloud progress remains under your Apple Account until it is deleted through the app and synchronized or removed through Apple iCloud controls. Apple may retain transaction and account records under its own policies and legal obligations.

The in-app Erase all progress action deletes question review records, answer records, reading milestones, and timed mock-exam attempts, and cancels local reminder schedules. It does not delete the optional exam date or other preferences, or imported JSON. The separate Reset reading progress action deletes reading milestones only. Remove imported questions deletes the imported JSON file.

For the most complete removal currently available:

1. In AI Governance Prep > Settings, choose Remove imported questions if that control is shown.
2. Choose Erase all progress and confirm.
3. Delete AI Governance Prep through Settings > General > iPhone Storage or iPad Storage > AI Governance Prep > Delete App. Do not choose Offload App, which keeps documents and data. Apple describes the distinction at support.apple.com/en-us/108429.
4. Remove any remaining AI Governance Prep data through Settings > your name > iCloud > Manage Account Storage, if the app is listed, using Apple's displayed delete-data control. Device and OS wording can vary; follow Apple's current iCloud storage controls. Turning iCloud sync off by itself stops synchronization but does not necessarily delete already stored iCloud data.

Allow synchronization to complete before deleting the app if you want in-app deletions to reach other signed-in devices. Repeat the app deletion on other devices if local copies remain. If AI Governance Prep data is not exposed in the iCloud storage screen or returns after these steps, contact [email protected] for current guidance; the publisher cannot directly enter or erase a user's private CloudKit database.

Security

The app relies on iOS and iPadOS application sandboxing, data protection, Apple permission controls, private CloudKit access, and App Store distribution protections. No system can be guaranteed completely secure. Protect your device passcode and Apple Account, keep the operating system current, and avoid importing JSON from an untrusted source. Imported text is treated as study content, not executable code, but it can contain inaccurate or unwanted material.

Children

The app is a general-audience independent study tool and is not directed to children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children or anyone else through the app. It is not listed in the App Store Kids category. Parents and guardians control downloads and device settings through Apple's family and parental-control tools.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, data-protection law may provide rights concerning personal data controlled by the publisher. Because the publisher does not receive app study data or maintain an app account, the publisher generally cannot identify or retrieve a user's on-device or private iCloud study records. You can use the controls above to access the app's visible progress, change permissions, disable iCloud use, remove imports, and delete data. Apple controls requests concerning your Apple Account, App Store transactions, private iCloud service, and Apple's own analytics processing; contact Apple through support.apple.com.

Support correspondence sent directly to the publisher

This section applies when you email, call, or otherwise contact IT Piotr Szmielew directly. It does not apply to on-device or private CloudKit study data.

IT Piotr Szmielew is the controller for this correspondence. No data protection officer has been appointed; privacy requests go to [email protected].

• Data and source: the publisher receives information directly from you, such as your name or chosen identifier, email address or phone number, message, attachments, device/app details you provide, and ordinary communication routing metadata.
• Purposes and legal bases: the publisher uses the correspondence to answer and administer support requests connected with the paid app or steps requested before support under GDPR Article 6(1)(b); to handle general inquiries, feedback, security reports, misuse prevention, and service improvement under the publisher's legitimate interests in operating and protecting the app under Article 6(1)(f); to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims under Article 6(1)(f); and to retain or disclose records when a legal obligation applies under Article 6(1)(c). The publisher does not use support correspondence for targeted advertising or automated decision-making.
• Recipients: access is limited to the publisher and, where necessary, email/hosting and IT service providers acting under contract, professional advisers, Apple when a case must be escalated and the message is minimized, and public authorities where disclosure is legally required. The publisher does not sell support contact data.
• International transfers: support providers may process data outside the European Economic Area only where a GDPR Chapter V transfer mechanism applies, such as an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses with required supplementary safeguards. Details of the applicable provider and safeguard can be requested at [email protected].
• Retention: ordinary support and feedback threads are deleted or anonymized within 24 months after the matter is closed. Records reasonably needed for legal claims are kept until the applicable limitation period expires, normally no longer than six years from the end of the year in which the claim arose. A litigation hold, unresolved dispute, or specific statutory duty may require longer retention; when it ends, the record is deleted or anonymized. Data contained in legally required business records is kept for the statutory period applying to that record.
• Required information: contacting support is voluntary, but the publisher needs a return contact and enough problem detail to respond. Without them, the publisher may be unable to handle the request.
• Rights: subject to applicable conditions and exceptions, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, or portability of your personal data and may object to processing based on Article 6(1)(f). Contact [email protected]. The publisher does not rely on consent for the purposes listed above, so there is no consent to withdraw for this correspondence.
• Complaint: you may lodge a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office in Poland (UODO), including through the official guidance at uodo.gov.pl/en/681/1404, or with another competent supervisory authority, particularly where you live or work or where the alleged infringement occurred.

For a privacy request, include enough detail to locate the correspondence, but do not send passwords, payment-card information, microphone recordings, or sensitive imported content. The publisher may need to verify identity proportionately before fulfilling a rights request and will respond within the period required by applicable law.

International availability

The app is intended for worldwide App Store availability. Local app processing occurs on your device. Private iCloud, App Store, and Apple-provided analytics processing is performed by Apple under the terms and safeguards applicable to your Apple Account and region. Direct support messages are received by the publisher in Poland and handled as described above.

Changes to this policy

This policy may change when app functionality, legal requirements, or Apple services change. The effective date above will be updated, and material changes will be posted at https://szmielew.pl/aigp/privacy. If a future app version introduces a publisher server, embedded analytics, advertising, third-party SDK, off-device speech, or another material data flow, the publisher will revise this policy and App Store privacy answers before release.
