The short version
This app collects nothing, transmits nothing, and asks for nothing.
There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising, and no network code of any kind. Everything you do in the app stays in the app's own private storage on your device. When you uninstall it, that data is gone.
1. What the app stores, and where
All of it is local to your device, inside the app's private storage area, which other apps cannot read.
| What | Where | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Quiz results (score, mode, test, timestamp) | Room database | Your progress dashboard and per-test best scores |
| Per-question statistics (attempts, correct count) | Room database | Weak-area detection and accuracy |
| Bookmarks | Room database | The Saved tab |
| Current and best streak | Room database | The streak counter on Home |
| Theme preference (light/dark) | DataStore preferences | Remembering how you left the app |
| Onboarding-completed flag | DataStore preferences | Not showing you the intro twice |
The 408-question bank itself is a read-only file bundled inside the app download. It is not personal data and it never changes.
2. What the app does not do
- No network access. The app contains no networking library and makes no network requests. It does not hold the
INTERNETpermission, so the operating system would refuse a request even if one existed. - No accounts. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to sign in to.
- No analytics or telemetry. No Firebase, no Google Analytics, no Crashlytics, no third-party measurement SDK of any kind.
- No advertising. No ads SDK is present in the build. No advertising identifier is read, stored, or transmitted.
- No third-party SDKs beyond the AndroidX and Jetpack libraries that make up the app itself, none of which collect data here.
- No data collection. Nothing you enter or do is gathered, profiled, or sent anywhere.
- No location, camera, microphone, contacts, calendar, photos, or file access.
3. Permissions
The app requests no permission that grants access to any device capability or to any of your data. You will not see a permission prompt.
For completeness, and because this document should match what a technically-minded reader finds if they inspect the app: the packaged app declares exactly one permission string, com.zenocanvas.thelifeinuk.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION. It is added automatically by a standard Android support library (androidx.core) and is a signature permission that the app defines for itself and grants only to itself. It protects an internal message receiver. It gives access to nothing on your device, is not shown to you by Google Play, and cannot be used by any other app.
There are no other permissions. No internet, no storage, no notifications, no location.
4. Third-party services
None. The app talks to no service, ours or anyone else's.
Google Play itself will process your download and any review you leave under Google's own privacy policy. That is Google's relationship with you, not ours, and we receive nothing from it beyond aggregate, anonymous install statistics in the Play Console.
5. Children
The app collects no data from anyone, of any age.
It is not directed at children — the Life in the UK Test is taken by adults applying for settlement or citizenship — and it is not enrolled in Google Play's Designed for Families programme. Its content (UK history, law, and customs) is nonetheless suitable for all ages.
6. Deleting your data
Two ways, both immediate and complete:
- In the app: Settings → Reset All Progress. This clears every quiz result, all per-question statistics, all bookmarks, and your streak. The question bank stays, because it is not your data.
- Uninstall the app. Android deletes the app's private storage with it.
There is no server-side copy to request the deletion of, because nothing was ever sent anywhere.
7. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at the same URL with a new "Last updated" date, and the app's Play listing will point to it. Because the app collects no data, any realistic future change would be about a new feature rather than a new use of existing data. If a future version ever did collect or transmit anything, that would be disclosed here and in the Play Data Safety form before the version shipped.
8. Not a government service
Zeno Canvas is an independent developer. This app is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the UK Home Office, GOV.UK, or any government body. It cannot book your test and does not submit anything on your behalf. The official test is booked through GOV.UK.
The practice questions are original material written to cover the same syllabus as the official handbook. They are not reproductions of the official examination questions.
