1. Who we are
Security Guard License Prep (the "App") is published by MD Shahariar Nazim Joy (the "Developer", "we", "us"). You can reach us at dmjks120@gmail.com. This policy explains what the App does and does not do with information.
2. Data we collect
We collect none. Specifically, the App does not collect any of the following:
- Name, email address, phone number, or postal address
- Contacts, photos, camera, microphone, or location data
- Device identifiers, advertising identifiers (IDFA), or fingerprinting signals
- Usage analytics, crash telemetry, or behavioural profiles
- Payment card details (see "Purchases" below)
There are no accounts and no login — the App does not ask who you are. The only permission the App requests is an optional local notification permission for a daily study reminder, which you may decline. If you decline it, every other feature of the App continues to work exactly as before.
3. Data stored on your device
To make the App work, it saves the following locally on your device only, in a local file inside the App's own storage. This data is never uploaded, and it is not visible to us or to anyone else:
| What | Why | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Your answers to practice questions | To score you and show which questions you missed | Your device |
| Mock-exam results and scores | To show your trend and readiness by topic | Your device |
| Bookmarks and flashcard scheduling | To power review and spaced repetition | Your device |
| Your exam date and study goal | To build your study plan and countdown | Your device |
| Your study streak | To keep you consistent | Your device |
| Your reminder setting | To know whether to schedule a daily local notification | Your device |
You can erase all of it at any time: Settings → Reset all progress. Deleting the App from your device also deletes it.
4. Notifications
If you turn on the daily study reminder, the App schedules a local notification using Apple's on-device notification system. No push server is involved, and no notification content ever leaves your device. Declining this permission does not disable or limit any other part of the App. You can turn reminders off in the App at any time, or revoke the permission in the iOS Settings app.
5. Purchases
Security Guard License Prep requires a purchase to use. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store using Apple's StoreKit In-App Purchase system. We never see, receive, or store your payment card details, your Apple Account credentials, or your billing address. Apple's handling of that information is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
The App asks Apple's StoreKit framework whether your Apple Account currently holds a valid purchase or subscription. That check is made by the operating system against Apple's servers; the App itself receives only a yes-or-no answer and never a personal identifier.
6. Third parties
The App contains no third-party SDKs of any kind — no analytics, no advertising, no attribution, no crash reporting, no social logins. We do not share data with third parties, because we do not have any data to share.
7. Children
The App is intended for adults preparing for a state security guard licensing examination. It is not directed at children, and it does not knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age — because it does not collect information at all.
8. Your rights
Privacy laws such as the GDPR (EU/UK) and the CCPA/CPRA (California) give you rights to access, correct, delete, and port your personal data, and to object to its sale. Because the App does not collect or process any personal data, there is nothing for us to access, correct, delete, port, or sell. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA. All data the App produces already sits on your own device and is under your direct control.
9. Deleting your data
You have two ways to remove everything the App has stored:
- In the App: Settings → Reset all progress. This clears answers, mock-exam history, bookmarks, flashcard scheduling, streak, and your exam date/goal.
- Delete the App: removing it from your device deletes its entire local storage along with it.
Neither action affects an active subscription, which is managed separately through your Apple Account.
10. Security
Your study data is stored in the App's private container on your device, protected by iOS's built-in app sandboxing and by device encryption when you have a passcode set.
11. Changes to this policy
If this policy ever changes, we will update this page and revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will also be noted in the App's release notes.
