CitizoPrivacy Policy
Last updated: November 2, 2026
Citizo helps you prepare for the French civic exam. The app asks for no account and keeps your progress on your phone. We run no server that receives your answers, we use no advertising or analytics tools, and we sell no data.
The short version. Your application type, exam date, answers and results stay on your device. The app connects to the internet only for purchases, handled by Apple or Google Play depending on your phone, and by RevenueCat, to check once a day whether a newer version exists, and when you open a link to an official source yourself.
1. Who we are
Citizo is published by Artiom Gaureac (“we”, “us”). For any question about your data, email gaureac@gmail.com.
2. What stays on your device
Using the app creates information that is saved in its private storage, on your phone only:
- the application you prepare for (multi-year residence permit, resident card or naturalisation), your exam date and your daily plan;
- your answers, series, mock exams and their results, and the schedule of questions to review;
- your preferences: interface language, appearance, vibrations, showing answers and the reminder time.
This information is not sent to us and we have no access to it. Deleting the app erases it.
3. No account, no ads, no tracking
The app contains no advertising or analytics tools. We do not measure what you do in the app, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
The one exception, stated plainly: our purchase provider shows us statistics about the purchases themselves (how many subscriptions are active, started or cancelled). That is what Apple’s privacy label calls “Analytics”, and we declare it there. It concerns purchases, never your answers.
4. When the app connects to the internet
The questions ship inside the app, which works offline. It connects only in these cases:
| Purpose | What is sent | To whom |
|---|---|---|
| Showing prices, buying, restoring a purchase | Transaction details and an anonymous identifier the app generates at random. No name or email address. | Apple or Google Play, and RevenueCat |
| Checking whether a newer version exists, at most once a day | Nothing about you: the app downloads a small public file that names the latest version. As with any web page, the host sees the connection’s IP address. | GitHub Pages |
| Opening a question’s source, if you tap the link | Your browser opens the official page cited (for example formation-civique.interieur.gouv.fr). | That website |
5. Reminders
If you turn reminders on, they are scheduled on your phone. No notification goes through our servers: we have none. You can turn them off in the app, in iOS Settings or in Android settings.
6. Service providers
- Apple: payments, subscriptions and refunds on the App Store. See Apple’s Privacy Policy.
- Google: payments, subscriptions and refunds on Google Play. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
- RevenueCat: validates and restores your purchases with an anonymous identifier, and shows us statistics about them. See RevenueCat’s Privacy Policy.
- GitHub: hosts this site and the version file. See GitHub’s Privacy Statement.
We do not sell, rent or share your information for marketing.
7. If you email us
When you email us, for instance to report a mistake in a question, we receive your address and your message. We use them only to reply and to fix the app, and we delete the exchange on request.
8. Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask for access to your data, its correction or its erasure. Since your practice data stays on your device, you control it directly. For purchases, email us and we will pass your request on to RevenueCat. The steps are on the Delete your data page. You can also complain to your data protection authority; in France, the CNIL (cnil.fr).
9. Children
Citizo is meant for adults preparing for the civic exam. It does not knowingly collect any data from children.
10. Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. If a new version of the app handles data differently, this page is updated before that version is released.
