Last Updated: October 16, 2026

1. Introduction and Scope

Welcome to the Life in the UK Test application ("LITUK," "the App," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy is a legally binding document designed to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use, protection, and disclosure of Personal Information we receive from users of our application.

We are based in London, United Kingdom, and operate under the jurisdiction of the laws of England and Wales. This Privacy Policy has been meticulously drafted to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you explicitly consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, you must immediately uninstall the App and cease all use of our services. We reserve the right to modify, alter, or otherwise update this Privacy Policy at our sole discretion at any time.

2. Our Core Principles: No Data Sales and No Third-Party Cookies

We believe in absolute transparency and the minimization of data collection. To ensure your privacy is paramount, we explicitly guarantee the following:

We do not sell your personal data: Under no circumstances will your personal information, usage metrics, or test scores be sold, rented, or leased to advertisers, data brokers, or any other third parties.
We do not use third-party cookies: The App operates strictly without the use of third-party tracking cookies, cross-site trackers, or invasive analytics pixels.

3. Information We Collect

To provide a seamless and highly functional educational experience, we collect the minimum amount of data necessary.

3.1. Information You Provide to Us Voluntarily

Account Information: If we implement account creation, we may collect your name, email address, and password.
Communications: If you contact our support team, we will collect your email address, name, and the contents of your message.

3.2. Information Collected Automatically

When you use the App, we automatically collect certain technical information to ensure the App functions properly:

Device Information: We may collect non-identifiable information about your mobile device, including the hardware model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information.
Usage Data: We collect local app usage data, such as your progress on mock tests, accuracy rates, and time spent on specific questions. This data is primarily stored locally on your device to enable the "Offline Mode" and progress tracking features.
Crash and Error Logs: In the event the App crashes, we may collect error-reporting data to diagnose and fix bugs. This data is strictly technical and stripped of personally identifiable information where possible.

4. How We Use Your Information

We process your data exclusively for the following purposes:

Service Provision: To operate, maintain, and provide the core functionalities of the App, including scoring mock tests and generating progress reports.
Customer Support: To respond to your inquiries, troubleshoot technical issues, and provide assistance.
App Improvement: To understand how users interact with our App, identify bugs, and develop new features to enhance the educational experience.
Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable UK laws, regulations, and legal processes.

Under the UK GDPR, we require a lawful basis to process your personal data. We rely on the following bases:

Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary to fulfill our Terms of Service and provide the App's functionalities to you.
Legitimate Interests: We have a legitimate interest in improving our App, ensuring its security, and analyzing aggregated, non-identifying usage data to enhance our educational offerings.
Consent: In cases where explicit consent is required (e.g., opting into specific communications), we will obtain your clear, affirmative consent before processing. You may withdraw this consent at any time.

6. Data Storage and Security

6.1. Local Storage

A significant portion of your data, including your test history and progress metrics, is stored locally on your mobile device. You are solely responsible for the physical and digital security of your device.

6.2. Server Security

Any data transmitted to our servers (e.g., error logs, support requests) is protected using industry-standard encryption protocols (such as TLS/SSL) during transit and encrypted at rest.

6.3. Disclaimer of Absolute Security

While we employ commercially reasonable and rigorous security measures to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot and do not guarantee absolute security. By using the App, you acknowledge and accept this inherent risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability for any unauthorized access to, or use of, our secure servers and/or any personal information stored therein.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

Support queries: Retained for up to 12 months after resolution to assist with future inquiries.
App Data: Data stored locally on your device remains there until you delete the App or clear the App's cache/data. We will also retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies.

As a resident of the United Kingdom, you possess extensive rights regarding your personal data:

The Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
The Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.

As explicitly stated in Section 2, we do not sell your data. However, we may disclose your information in the following strictly limited circumstances:

Service Providers: We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our App (e.g., cloud hosting providers). These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
Legal Requirements: We will disclose your Personal Information where required to do so by UK law, a court order, or subpoena, or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement.
Protection of Rights: We may disclose information when we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or violations of our Terms of Service.

10. Children's Privacy

The App is designed specifically for individuals preparing for the Life in the UK test, which is a requirement for adult settlement and citizenship. Our services are not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or under 18 without parental consent). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately so we may securely delete it.
