Privacy Policy for Preparez Code Route Algérie

Last Updated: May 30, 2026

1. Introduction

Code Route Algérie (“the App”) is a free educational application designed to help users prepare for the Algerian driving theory exam (code de la route). This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and your available choices.

By installing and using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The App operates locally and does not utilize external user-account servers. The following data is stored strictly on your local device storage (using Hive) and is never transmitted to us:

• Exam Results: Scores and timestamps from mock exams (up to the last 20 results).

• Disclaimer Acceptance: A configuration flag indicating whether you have read and accepted the in-app disclaimer.

2.2 Information Collected by Third Parties (Advertising)

To keep the application free, the App displays advertisements through Google AdMob. When ads are rendered, Google may automatically collect and process certain information, including:

• Advertising ID (Android Advertising ID)

• Device Information (Device model, hardware specs, OS version)

• IP Address

• Ad Interaction Data (Impressions, clicks, and engagement metrics)

• Approximate Location (Coarse location derived strictly from IP addresses)

⚠️ Permissions Note: The App declares the INTERNET and AD_ID permissions in the Android Manifest solely to facilitate this advertising framework. Data processing is governed by Google's privacy protocols and may be used for personalized advertising depending on your device settings and local consent frameworks.

2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect

We intentionally structure the App to maximize user privacy. We explicitly do not collect:

• Personal identifiers (Name, email address, phone number, or account credentials—the App has no login system).

• Precise GPS location data.

• Device ecosystem data (Contacts, photos, microphone access, or camera data).

• Financial or payment information (The App contains no in-app purchases).

3. How We Use Information

Data Type	Managed By	Purpose
Local Exam Results	Local Device Only	Displays your historical progress and pass rate inside the App interface.
Disclaimer Flag	Local Device Only	Remembers your configuration selection so you do not have to accept the disclaimer on every launch.
Ad-Related Data	Google AdMob	Serves, optimizes, and measures the performance of advertisements.

Data Selling Policy: We do not, and will never, sell your personal or device information to any third party.

4. Third-Party Services

The App integrates third-party software development kits (SDKs) to serve advertisements. You can review their data handling practices via the official links below:

• Google AdMob Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

• How Google Uses Data From Partner Sites: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Note: AdMob utilizes the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request explicit privacy consent from users where legally required.

5. Children’s Privacy

The App is tailored for individuals studying to obtain a legal driving license, generally targeting users aged 16 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has inadvertently provided personal tracking data through the ad network, please contact us immediately at the support address below.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

• Local Progress Data: Remains on your device permanently until you manually clear the application cache or uninstall the App.

  • To delete manually on Android: Navigate to Settings → Apps → Code Route Algérie → Storage → Clear Data.

• Ad-Tracking Data: Retained and cycled directly by Google in accordance with AdMob’s standardized data retention timelines.

7. Your Privacy Choices & Control

You maintain complete control over how data is handled on your device:

• Reset Advertising ID: Open Android Settings → Google → Ads → Reset advertising ID.

• Opt-Out of Personalized Tracking: Open Android Settings → Google → Ads → Toggle on Opt out of Ads Personalization.

• Wipe App History: Clear the application storage or uninstall the App completely from your device (see Section 6).

8. Security

Because the App does not maintain a backend server database, your educational data remains safe on your physical hardware. Internet communication layers are isolated to the Google AdMob SDK framework for asset retrieval.

9. International Users

The App is designed primarily for distribution and use within Algeria. AdMob may process, route, and store data points on servers located outside of your home country—including within the United States—in strict compliance with global data protection frameworks.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this policy to reflect app upgrades or changing regulatory standards. When changes occur, the "Last Updated" timestamp at the top of this document will change. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
