CitizenReady — Privacy Policy
CitizenReady helps you prepare for the United States naturalization civics test. This policy explains what happens to your information. It is short, because the app does very little with it.
Summary
- There is no account, no sign-up and no sign-in.
- The app has no server and makes no network requests at all. It works identically in aeroplane mode.
- Which questions you answered, how you scored and what you have set are stored only on your phone.
- There is no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising and no tracking of any kind. No third party receives anything.
- The developer cannot see your data. There is nothing to request, export or delete from us, because we never have it.
What stays on your device
- Your answers: which question, whether you got it right, and when.
- Your mock test results: the score and which questions you missed.
- Your streak: the days you studied.
- Your settings: which test version applies to you, whether you are studying the 65/20 subset, speech, and your theme.
- Questions you reported as looking wrong, so the app can show you that you reported them.
All of this is kept in the app's private storage, which Android does not allow other apps to read. Android Auto Backup is disabled, so the app does not copy it to Google Drive. Deleting the app deletes all of it.
What leaves your device
Nothing. CitizenReady contains no networking code. It does not call any API, including ours. The only things that leave are ones you start yourself: tapping a link opens your browser, and tapping “Export my progress” hands a copy to whichever app you choose to share it with.
Permissions
CitizenReady requests no runtime permissions at all. No microphone, no storage, no location, no contacts. Reading questions aloud uses the speech engine already built into your phone; nothing is recorded and no audio is produced as a file.
Where the questions come from
The 100 questions for the 2008 civics test and the 128 for the 2025 civics test are the official questions published by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. They are works of the United States federal government and are therefore in the public domain under 17 U.S.C. § 105. They are reproduced word for word.
Some answers change with elections or appointments, and some depend on which state you live in. USCIS does not publish those, and neither does this app — it marks them and points you at uscis.gov/citizenship/testupdates for the current answer.
CitizenReady is not affiliated with USCIS, the Department of Homeland Security, or any government agency, and it is not legal or immigration advice. Always check the current requirements on uscis.gov.
Payment
If CitizenReady offers a paid unlock, the purchase is handled entirely by Google Play. Google processes the payment and tells the app only whether the unlock is owned. We never see your name, your card or your billing address. Google's handling of that transaction is covered by Google's own privacy policy.
Children
CitizenReady is not directed at children under 13 and collects nothing from anyone.
Your rights
Laws such as the GDPR and the DPDP Act give you rights to access, correct and delete personal data held about you. We hold none, so there is nothing for us to give you or erase. Your data is on your phone: use Delete all my progress in Settings, or uninstall the app, and it is gone.
Changes
If this policy changes, the effective date above changes with it. If a future version of the app ever sends anything off your device, it will be off by default, it will say so plainly before you turn it on, and this policy will be updated first.
