NAATI Sinhala ("the App", "we", "us", "our") is a study app for the NAATI Credentialed Community Language (CCL) test in Sinhala, available on Android and iOS. This policy explains what information the App handles and how it is used.
Quick summary
The App does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information.
The App does not require an account, sign-in, email, or phone number.
The App displays third-party advertising. Aside from the ad network described below, the App does not include analytics, tracking, or telemetry SDKs.
The only data the App stores itself is on your device, in its private sandbox: your theme preference, your "hard words" list, and a single flag indicating whether you have purchased the Pro unlock.
What the App stores on your device
The App uses your device's app-private storage — Android's app-private storage sandbox, or iOS's App Sandbox / UserDefaults — to remember:
Theme preference — light, dark, or system.
Hard words list — vocabulary items you have flagged for revision.
Purchase status — a single boolean flag indicating whether you have purchased the lifetime Pro unlock. On a fresh install this flag is restored automatically via the platform's purchase restore mechanism (Google Play "Restore Purchases" on Android, or "Restore Purchases" through the App Store on iOS), by querying the store for past purchases linked to your account.
This data never leaves your device. Uninstalling the App removes it.
Audio streaming
Practice dialogue audio files are hosted on Google Drive and streamed over HTTPS when you tap Play. Google's standard server logs apply to that request (IP address, request time, user-agent). We do not access or use those logs.
The audio request contains only the public file identifier; it does not include any account information, device identifier, or other data from the App.
Advertising
The App displays advertising provided by a third-party advertising network ([Ad Network Name, e.g. Google AdMob]) on both Android and iOS. This SDK may collect data such as your device's advertising identifier, general device information, approximate location, and app usage data in order to serve and measure ads. On iOS, the App requests permission via Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework before any tracking-related identifier is used; you can allow or deny this at any time in Settings. We do not receive or store any of the data collected by the ad network ourselves — it is handled directly between your device and the ad network under their own privacy policy.
In-app purchase
The App offers a single one-time, non-consumable in-app product (a lifetime Pro unlock) on both platforms:
Android: naati_pro_unlock, AUD 9.99, processed by Google Play Billing.
iOS: [iOS product ID], [price], processed by Apple's In-App Purchase (StoreKit).
All purchase steps are handled by Google Play or the Apple App Store respectively. We receive only the result of the purchase (success / pending / failed / refunded) and the product identifier; we never see your name, email, payment method, or billing address.
Refunds are governed by the relevant store's standard refund policy:
Google Play: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637
Apple App Store: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084
Permissions and platform capabilities used
Android — the App requests only the minimum permissions required for its functionality:
INTERNET — to stream dialogue audio and serve ads.
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE — to detect when there is no internet connection and show a friendly offline message instead of a generic error.
com.android.vending.BILLING — to process the optional in-app purchase via Google Play.
iOS — the App does not request access to sensitive iOS permissions such as contacts, location, camera, microphone, or photos. It only uses standard network access to stream dialogue audio, serve ads, and process in-app purchases, plus the App Tracking Transparency prompt described above where applicable.
Neither version of the App requests, and the App's code does not access, any of the following: contacts, calendar, call logs, SMS, phone state, location, camera, microphone, body sensors, biometrics, files outside its private sandbox, accounts on the device, or installed-apps list.
Data shared with third parties
We do not share any user data with third parties ourselves. The only third parties the App communicates with are:
Google Drive (HTTPS, anonymous) — to stream dialogue audio.
Google Play Billing (Android) or Apple's App Store (iOS) — to process the optional one-time purchase.
[Ad Network Name] — to serve and measure advertising, as described above.
None of these communications transmit any user-identifying data from the App itself; any data collected by the ad network is governed by its own privacy policy.
Children's privacy
The App is intended for adults (ages 18+) preparing for a credentialed translator / interpreter exam. The App is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.
Security
All network requests use HTTPS. Data stored on your device sits inside your platform's private app sandbox (Android's private app storage or iOS's App Sandbox), which is automatically isolated from other apps and removed on uninstall.
Your rights
Because the App does not collect any personal data itself, there is no personal data for you to access, modify, export, or request deletion of. To remove all locally stored preferences (theme, hard-words list, Pro flag), simply uninstall the App.
If you wish to revoke the Pro purchase, you may request a refund directly from Google Play or the Apple App Store under their standard refund policies linked above.
Changes to this policy
If this policy is updated, the new version will be published at the same public URL with an updated "Last updated" date at the top of the document. Continued use of the App after such an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
