Privacy policy
CitizenshipPractice is designed to be used anonymously. There are no accounts, no sign-up and no login, and we don't ask for your name, email or any other personal detail to use the site. This page explains the little that is stored, where it lives, and the one case where information leaves your device.
What we store on your device
As you use the site we save a small amount of data in your browser's local storage, on your own device. It stays on your device and is not sent to any server of ours. Specifically:
- Tests in progress and completed: your answers, scores and timing, so you can resume a test and review your results.
- Flashcard study progress: which cards you've worked through, so the study guides remember where you were.
- Your preferences: the translation-subtitle language you pick and similar display settings.
How long it's kept
Completed test results expire automatically after 24 hours. Your study progress and preferences have no expiry and stay until you reset them in the app or clear your browser data, which removes everything immediately. In a private or incognito window the same data is kept only for that session and is cleared automatically when you close the window. Because the data lives only in one browser on one device, it does not follow you to another browser, phone or computer.
Cookies
We don't use cookies. The data above is kept in local storage, which is similar but is never attached to network requests, and we set no advertising or tracking cookies of any kind.
When you contact us
The one time information leaves your device is if you choose to send us a message through the contact form. That form is handled by Formspree, a third-party service that receives your submission and forwards it to us by email. Whatever you type — your message, and your name and email if you add them — is processed by Formspree under their privacy policy. We use what you send only to read and reply to your message. The contact form is entirely optional — if you never use it, none of your messages or saved progress is ever transmitted to us. (Like any website, simply loading a page sends ordinary technical details such as your IP address and browser type to whoever hosts the site; we don't use those to build a profile of you.)
What we don't do
We don't collect personal information to use the site, we don't use analytics or tracking, we don't set advertising cookies, and we don't sell or share data with anyone — there is no profile of you to sell. Using the site collects nothing from anyone, including children. The optional contact form is the only way to send us anything; we ask that children don't submit personal details through it, and we use whatever is sent only to reply.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the site handles data, we'll update this page so it always describes what the site actually does. Significant changes will be reflected here rather than announced separately, since we have no way to contact you.
