MDCAT Prep
This Privacy Policy explains how MDCAT Prep ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use our Android application.
MDCAT Prep is an independent educational application designed to help students prepare for the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) through multiple-choice question practice, quizzes, revision, and other educational preparation features.
We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how information may be processed when you use the App.
1. Information We Collect
The App does not require users to create an account or provide information such as their name, phone number, postal address, or password in order to use the main educational features.
However, certain information may be processed automatically by third-party services used by the App, including advertising services.
Information that may be processed automatically
Depending on your device, operating system, settings, and the services used by the App, information may include:

- Crash and diagnostic information
- Information about interactions with advertisements

We do not intentionally request sensitive personal information from users through the App.
2. Advertising - Google AdMob
The App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob is a mobile advertising service provided by Google.
Advertising behavior may vary depending on the user's device, region, consent choices, and applicable Google advertising settings.
Google may use information to provide personalized advertising where permitted and where the appropriate consent or settings apply. Non-personalized or limited advertising may be used where applicable.
For users in regions where consent is required, applicable consent mechanisms may be presented in the App before relevant advertising processing takes place.
For more information about how Google handles information in its advertising products, please review Google's privacy resources:

Third-party services currently used by the App may include:
- Google AdMob - for displaying and measuring advertisements.
- Google Play Services - for Android platform functionality where applicable.
Third-party providers operate independently and their processing of information is governed by their respective privacy policies.
4. Children's Privacy
MDCAT Prep is an educational application intended primarily for students preparing for an admission examination. Because some users may be younger than 18, we take privacy considerations for younger users seriously.
The App does not intentionally ask students to submit personal information such as their full name, home address, phone number, or password.
Advertising and data processing are subject to applicable Google Play, Google AdMob, and privacy requirements based on the selected audience, region, consent, and applicable laws.

6. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information associated with the App. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Because some services used by the App are provided by third parties, information processed by those services is also subject to their security practices and privacy policies.
