Privacy policy
Last updated 7 October 2026
This policy explains what information the Qwok apps and this website collect, why, and what you can do about it. The apps are published by AZM Tech Pty Ltd (ABN 50 660 702 858) ("we", "us"), an Australian company. We follow the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
The short version
- Your study progress stays on your device unless you choose to sign in.
- The free apps show ads from Google AdMob, which uses device identifiers. You can limit this.
- Purchases go through Google Play or the App Store. We never see your card details.
- We don't sell your information, track your location, or read your contacts, photos or microphone.
- You can delete your data at any time.
What we collect and why
| Information | Why | Who handles it |
|---|---|---|
| Your answers, scores, bookmarks, streak, chosen state or test, and settings | To run the app and show your progress | Stored only on your device, encrypted |
| Advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, and how you interact with ads | To show ads, measure them and prevent ad fraud (free version only) | Google AdMob |
| Purchase record (product, date, store transaction ID) and a random app user ID | To unlock "Remove ads" and restore it on a new device | Google Play or Apple, and RevenueCat |
| If you sign in: your name, email address or phone number, account ID, and your synced progress | To back up your progress and sync it across devices | Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, App Check) |
| Emails you send us | To answer you | Us |
Signing in is optional, and not every app offers it. If you sign in with Apple, Google or Facebook, that provider tells us your account ID and, depending on your choices, your name and email address. Phone sign-in uses a one-time SMS code.
Ads and your choices
In regions where the law requires it, the app asks for your consent before showing personalised ads, through Google's consent message. On iPhone and iPad the app asks for permission to track; if you say no, ads are not personalised. You can change your choice at any time in the app under Settings → Ad privacy choices, and reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings. Buying "Remove ads" stops ads, and the ad software is then not started.
Google's use of information from apps that use its services is explained at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
What we don't do
- We don't sell or rent personal information.
- We don't use analytics or crash-reporting tools that profile you.
- The apps don't request location, contacts, camera, microphone or photos.
- This website uses no cookies and no analytics.
Children
Our apps are made for teenagers preparing for a learner licence and for adults. They are not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you think a child has given us information, email us and we will delete it.
Where your information is stored
Our service providers (Google, RevenueCat and the app stores) may store and process information outside Australia, including in the United States. We use providers that protect information to a standard comparable to the Australian Privacy Principles.
How long we keep it
- Progress on your device: until you delete the app or reset your progress in Settings.
- Account and synced progress: until you delete your account. We delete it within 30 days of your request.
- Purchase records: as long as the stores and tax law require.
- Ad data: as set out in Google's policies.
Your rights
You can ask to access or correct the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to delete it. To delete your account, use Settings → Delete account in the app, or see Delete your data. If you have a complaint, email us first. If you're not satisfied with our answer, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Security
Progress on your device is stored encrypted, with a key kept in your device's secure storage. Data sent to our providers is encrypted in transit, and access to our accounts is limited and protected with two-step verification.
Our service providers
- Google AdMob and Firebase: Google privacy policy, Firebase privacy and security
- RevenueCat (purchases): RevenueCat privacy policy
- Google Play and the App Store process payments under their own privacy policies.
Changes
If we change how we handle your information, we will update this page and the date at the top. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
