1. Overview

GetBereit is a German language exam preparation application designed to help users study for Austrian integration exams (OIF A1–C1). This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and your rights regarding that information. By using GetBereit, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Data Stored Locally on Your Device

All core app data is stored exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. This includes:

Learning progress — completed exercise IDs, session history (exercise scores, accuracy, timestamps), and daily streak count
Selected level — your chosen exam level (A1–C1)
Spaced repetition state — flashcard review schedules, buckets, and due dates for Values & Orientation (Werte & Orientierung) cards
App preferences — theme mode (light/dark/system), language preference (German/English/Arabic), and onboarding completion status
Exercise cache — a local copy of exercises fetched from our database, cached for up to 7 days to improve performance and enable offline use

This data is held in SharedPreferences on your device. It is not backed up to any cloud service by us and is deleted when you uninstall the app or clear app data.

2.2 Data Collected Automatically

When you use the app, the following data is collected automatically through third-party services (described in Section 4):

Usage Analytics (Firebase Analytics)

In-app events such as: exercise started, exercise completed, exercise reviewed, Values & Orientation quiz started/completed, flashcard session started, level changed, and onboarding completed
Event parameters such as exercise type, exam type, level, skill, score, total questions, and pass/fail status
Device information: device model, operating system version, app version, language, and country/region
Session information: session duration and frequency of use
A randomly assigned analytics identifier (not linked to your name or email)

Crash Reports (Firebase Crashlytics — if enabled)

Stack traces and error logs when the app crashes or encounters an error
Device state at the time of the crash: device model, OS version, app version, available memory, and battery level
A randomly assigned installation identifier

No analytics or crash report contains your exercise answers, learning progress, or any personal content.
