1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how the South African University APS Calculator ("the App"), developed by Krieo ("we", "us", or "our"), handles information when you use the App. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

2. Information We Collect

We do not collect any personal information. The App is designed to work entirely offline. All data you enter into the App — including your subjects, marks, and saved qualifications — is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to us or any server.

Specifically:

• We do not require you to create an account or sign in.
• We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal identifier.
• We do not track your location.
• We do not access your contacts, camera, microphone, or files.
• We do not use analytics or tracking tools.

3. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdMob)

The App displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob to support ongoing development while keeping the App free. Google AdMob is a third-party advertising service operated by Google LLC.

Google AdMob may collect and use certain information, including:

• Advertising ID: A unique, user-resettable identifier for advertising purposes provided by your Android device.
• Device information: Device type, operating system version, and general hardware information.
• Ad interaction data: Information about how you interact with advertisements shown in the App.

This data is collected and processed by Google in accordance with their own privacy policy. We do not have access to any personally identifiable information collected by Google AdMob.

For more information about how Google uses your data, please visit: Google Privacy Policy and How Google Uses Information from Sites or Apps That Use Our Services.

4. Data Storage

All App data (your subjects, marks, preferences, and saved qualifications) is stored locally on your device using an embedded database. This data is:

• Stored only on your device.
• Never uploaded to any server.
• Included in your device's standard backup (if enabled in your Android settings).
• Deleted when you uninstall the App or clear the App's data.

5. Children's Privacy

The App is an educational tool intended for use by high school students and prospective university applicants. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since the App does not collect personal data, no special provisions for children's data are necessary beyond those provided by Google AdMob.

Parents and guardians can manage their child's ad experience through the device's advertising settings.

6. Your Choices

You have control over your data and ad experience:

• Reset Advertising ID: You can reset or opt out of personalised ads through your Android device settings under Settings > Privacy > Ads.
• Delete App Data: You can clear all locally stored data by going to your device's Settings > Apps > SA University APS Calculator > Storage > Clear Data.
• Uninstall: Uninstalling the App removes all locally stored data from your device.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
