Users may save questions and create lists from saved questions. Users may share a question list using a list code. If a list or deck is shared, associated content, list metadata, and creator identifiers may be visible or accessible as necessary for the sharing feature to function. Users should not include personal or sensitive information in shared lists, decks, reports, or feedback.
15. International Use and Data Transfers
The App is intended for global use. Personal information may be processed and stored in countries other than the user country of residence, including countries where our service providers operate. Data protection laws in those countries may differ from local laws. Where required, we use appropriate legal, technical, and organizational safeguards for international transfers.
16. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the App, maintain user accounts, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud or abuse, and support legitimate business purposes. No purpose in this Policy is intended to require us to keep personal information longer than the period during which the user has an account with us, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, security needs, billing verification, fraud prevention, backup systems, dispute resolution, or compliance obligations. When a user deletes their account, we will delete or anonymize account data and associated app data where reasonably possible, except where retention is required or permitted for legal, security, billing, fraud prevention,
Page 4 · idiomed Privacy Policybackup, or compliance reasons. If deletion from backups is not immediately possible, we will isolate the data from ordinary processing until deletion is possible according to our backup retention practices.
17. Account Deletion and User Rights
Users can delete their account through the App where available. Users may also contact us at contact@citrapps.com to request account deletion or assistance. Depending on applicable law and the user location, users may have rights to access, correct, update, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of their personal information. Users may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. We may need to verify identity before responding to requests. Users may review or update certain account information by logging in to their account settings, where available. If a request is denied or limited, we will explain the reason where required by applicable law.
18. Additional Privacy Rights for EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada
Users in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada, or similar jurisdictions may have additional rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to request access to personal information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection to processing, and withdrawal of consent. If a decision that produces legal or similarly significant effects is made solely by automated means, and if applicable law grants this right, users may request information about the main factors involved and may request human review. idiomed does not currently use automated decision-making to make legal or similarly significant decisions about users. Users in the EEA or UK may have the right to lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority. Users in Switzerland may contact the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner. Users in Canada may have rights under applicable federal or provincial privacy laws.
19. Additional Privacy Rights for United States Residents
Depending on the state of residence, US users may have specific privacy rights, including the right to know whether we process personal information, access personal information, correct inaccuracies, request deletion, obtain a copy of personal information, and not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights. Where applicable, US users may also have the right to opt out of targeted advertising, the sale or sharing of personal information, or certain profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. We do not sell personal information and do not share personal information for targeted advertising. Some US state laws may provide additional rights, such as the right to obtain categories of third parties to whom personal information has been disclosed, the right to limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal information, or the right to appeal a privacy request decision. To exercise rights, users may email contact@citrapps.com. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by applicable law, but we may require proof of authorization and may verify the identity of the user before processing the request. If we decline to take action on a request and applicable law provides an appeal right, users may appeal by emailing contact@citrapps.com. If an appeal is denied, users may have the right to contact their state attorney general or other competent authority.
20. Do-Not-Track Signals
Some web browsers and mobile operating systems include Do-Not-Track or similar settings. Because there is no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing Do-Not-Track signals, we do not currently respond to such signals. If a legally required standard is adopted that applies to us, we will update this Policy accordingly.
21. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information, including the security features of Firebase and other service providers. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. Users should access the App only within a secure environment and should protect their login credentials.
22. No Advertising
The App does not show advertisements and does not use advertising networks. We do not sell personal information or share personal information for targeted advertising. If this changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy before or when the relevant advertising features are introduced.
23. AI and User Data
The App does not currently provide an in-app AI chat or user-facing AI assistant. User data is stored in Firebase and is not intentionally sent to AI model providers for user-facing AI processing. If we introduce user-facing AI features or send user data to AI service providers in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and, where required, request appropriate consent. This does not prevent us from using AI-assisted methods internally to create or improve educational materials, provided that user personal information is not intentionally submitted to AI model providers for user-facing AI processing unless this Policy is updated and legal requirements are met.
24. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by a revised "Last updated" date. Where required by law or where changes are material, we may provide additional notice through the App, email, or other appropriate means. We encourage users to review this Policy periodically.
