U.S. Civics Test

1. Information We Collect

Study Data (Local Only)

Your practice test scores, progress, streaks, and question history are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

Payment Information

If you choose to support us, payments are processed by Stripe. We receive only a confirmation of payment and your email address to verify supporter status. We never see or store your credit card information.

Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data — such as page views and general location (country level). No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.

2. How We Use Information

• To verify supporter/payment status for premium features
• To send a payment confirmation email (if you support us)
• To understand how users interact with the app and improve it

3. Cookies

We use minimal cookies necessary for basic functionality. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies. Vercel Analytics uses a privacy-first approach that does not rely on cookies for analytics.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We share data only with:

• Stripe — for payment processing
• Vercel — for hosting and anonymous analytics

5. Data Retention

Study progress data lives in your browser and is deleted when you clear your browser data. Payment confirmation data (email) is retained for as long as your supporter status is active. You can request deletion at any time by emailing us.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access any personal data we hold about you
• Request deletion of your data
• Opt out of communications

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@civicstest.org.
