Privacy Policy — VCA Safety Master
Effective date: 25 March 2026
Language: Nederlands
This policy applies to VCA Safety Master on Google Play (Android) and the App Store (iOS). Both versions are referred to below as “the app.”
1. Who we are
The app is provided by the developer identified in the store listing (“we,” “us”). We are the data controller for any personal data processed in connection with the app, except where third parties (such as Google) process data on their own behalf as described in Section 4.
Contact: For privacy-related questions, email info@muehldorfsd.com. You may also use the support email or contact option shown on the app’s store listing.
2. What the app does
VCA Safety Master is an unofficial study and practice tool for VCA-style safety topics. It includes practice questions, a timed mock exam, a PPE matching activity, optional daily study reminders, and advertising served through Google’s advertising services.
3. Information we collect and how we use it
3.1 Information stored only on your device
The app stores the following locally on your device to work as intended. We do not operate our own servers to receive this data from the app:
- Settings: display language preference (including “follow system”), optional daily reminder time, and whether PPE haptics are on or off.
- Mock exam: in-progress exam data such as which questions are in the session, your selected answers, position in the exam, items marked for review, and timer-related state so you can resume after closing the app.
- Learning support: aggregated counts of incorrect answers by question category (“weak areas”) to suggest focused practice.
This local data is not sent to us by the app code as part of normal operation. It may still be included in device backup or transfer features offered by Apple, Google, or your device manufacturer, according to your system settings and their policies.
3.2 Permissions and system features
- Internet: used to load and display ads and related consent or configuration flows.
- Notifications (Android): used only if you enable scheduling of the daily study reminder; the reminder content is generic study encouragement.
- Vibration (Android): optional feedback in the PPE matcher when enabled in settings.
- iOS “App Tracking” prompt: on supported iOS versions, the system may ask whether the app can request permission related to tracking across apps and websites; this affects how advertising partners may personalize ads, not our own account system (the app has no user accounts).
4. Advertising and third-party services
The app uses Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to show ads. When ads load, Google and its partners may collect or process information such as device identifiers, coarse location, IP address, and app interaction data, as described in Google’s policies.
Android (EEA/UK and similar regions): Where required, the app uses Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to present consent or preference choices before ads are initialized, in line with applicable rules.
iOS: Ad serving is started after the system App Tracking Transparency flow where applicable. Your choice in iOS Settings affects whether certain identifiers may be used for tracking as defined by Apple.
We do not sell your personal information. Ad-supported apps rely on advertising partners; those partners may use data for advertising and measurement under their own terms and your choices where available.
5. Legal bases (EEA, UK, and similar)
Where GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on:
- Contract / necessity: providing the app’s core features and local storage needed for those features.
- Legitimate interests: operating and improving the app, ensuring security, and (where permitted) serving non-personalized or contextual ads.
- Consent: where we or Google present consent or preference UIs for ads or related technologies, or where Apple’s ATT applies.
6. Children
The app is not directed at children under 16 (or the age required in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for our own purposes. If you believe a child has provided information that concerns you, contact us using the store listing contact details.
7. International transfers
If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, data processed by Google or other partners may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your region. Google provides appropriate safeguards as described in its privacy documentation.
8. Retention
- On-device data remains until you clear app data, uninstall the app, or replace the device, subject to your backup settings.
- Data held by Google or other ad partners is retained according to their policies and your ad/privacy settings.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Because we do not hold an account or study history on our own servers, many requests about ad-related data are best directed to Google via your Google account and device ad settings (e.g. “Ads personalization” on Android, Apple’s tracking and privacy settings on iOS).
10. Security
We design the app to keep study and settings data on your device. No method of storage or transmission over the internet is completely secure; you should keep your device software updated and use device security features.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The new effective date will be shown at the top. Material changes may also be communicated through the store listing or in-app where appropriate.
Use of Artificial Intelligence
Parts of our content, including practice questions and educational explanations, are generated or curated using advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) models to ensure broad and updated coverage of official study materials.
Accuracy Disclaimer
While our AI engine is trained on official handbooks and regulations, AI can occasionally generate incorrect information. This app is provided "as-is" for study assistance only and does not constitute an official government or board-certified document. Users are responsible for verifying information with official sources before taking any certified exam.
No-Guarantee Clause
Use of this app does not guarantee a passing result on any official exam. We are not liable for any failed attempts, fees, or lost opportunities resulting from the use of this study tool.
Intellectual Property and Anti-Scraping
Users may not use automated systems (bots, scrapers, or AI) to extract content from this app for commercial use or to create competing databases.
12) Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These terms and your use of the App are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Any legal action or proceeding related to this App shall be brought exclusively in the courts of Amman, Jordan. By using this App, you consent to the personal jurisdiction of and venue in such courts.
