Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2026
Civics128 is built to be privacy-first. We designed it so you can study without giving us any personal information.
What we store
Your study data is stored locally in your own web browser using localStorage on your device. This includes:
- Your selected study language and state
- Your progress and mastery level for each question
- Your weak (needs-review) questions
- Your mock interview scores and history
- Your audio speed preference and study streak
This data never leaves your device through Civics128 and is not sent to any server. Clearing your browser data or using “Reset progress” in Settings will erase it.
What we do NOT collect
We do not ask for or store any of the following:
- Your name, email, phone number, or address
- Your A-number or green card number
- Your date of birth or immigration status
- Your exact location
- Voice recordings (audio is output only; we never record you)
Audio
The “Listen” and “Slow” features use your browser’s built-in text-to-speech to read official questions aloud. We do not use speech recognition and we never capture or store microphone input.
Performance analytics
We use Vercel Speed Insights to measure anonymous, aggregated performance metrics (such as page-load and Web Vitals timing) so we can keep the site fast. It does not collect personal information, does not build a profile of you, and is not used for advertising. See Vercel’s privacy documentation for details.
Email sign-up
The “Lifetime Pro” email field shown on the site is a placeholder and is not active in this version. No email addresses are collected or stored.
Children
Civics128 is a general-audience study tool and is not directed to children under 13.
Changes
If this app later adds optional accounts or paid features, this policy will be updated to describe any data those features use.
