Last Updated: June 28, 2025
Old Gate built the US Citizenship Test 2025 app as an Ad Supported app. This SERVICE is provided by Old Gate at no cost and is intended for use as is.
This page informs users about our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when using this app.
By using this app, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information Collection and Use
The app may request standard device permissions to function correctly, including:
- Internet access
- Network state access
These permissions are required solely for enabling app features (like quizzes, mock interviews, and flashcards) and for displaying advertisements. No personally identifiable information is collected or stored by the developer.
However, the app integrates with third-party services that may automatically collect certain technical data to improve ad delivery and app performance. This may include:
- IP address
- Device identifiers (e.g., Android Advertising ID)
- App usage statistics
- Crash diagnostics
- Approximate location (based on IP)
These third-party services operate under their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review their privacy practices for full transparency.
2. Third-Party Service Providers
This app uses the following third-party services, which operate under their own privacy policies:
- Google Play Services
- Google AdMob
3. Advertising and User Consent
This app uses Google AdMob to display in-app advertisements. Data collected by AdMob may include:
- Advertising ID
- Ad interactions (views, clicks)
- Crash and performance diagnostics
- Approximate location (based on IP)
This information is used to deliver personalized or non-personalized ads, depending on your preferences.
To comply with privacy laws such as the GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California), the app uses Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to manage consent.
Users may:
- Choose between personalized or non-personalized ads
- Opt out where applicable
- Update their ad preferences anytime via the “Manage Consent” option in the app
The UMP SDK ensures that your preferences are respected and that data collection complies with the applicable regulations.
4. How We Use Your Information (Collected by Third-Parties)
The information collected by third-party services (as detailed in Section 1) is used for the following purposes:
- To display and optimize advertisements: To serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on your consent, to manage ad frequency (preventing too many ads from being shown), and to measure ad performance (e.g., how many times an ad was seen or clicked).
- For analytics (related to ad performance & SDK health): To understand the effectiveness of ad campaigns, monitor the stability and performance of the advertising SDK, and detect invalid activity.
- Fraud prevention, security, and compliance: To prevent fraudulent ad impressions or clicks, protect against malware, and ensure compliance with Google’s advertising policies and applicable laws.
5. How We Share Your Information
We do not share any personal information collected directly by us (as we do not collect any such data). Information collected by Google AdMob is shared with Google and its advertising partners as part of the ad-serving ecosystem to facilitate ad bidding, delivery, and measurement. This is in accordance with Google’s privacy policies.
