ExamCert ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile applications and website (collectively, the "Services").

4. Data Storage and Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

4.1 Security Measures

• Encryption: SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers
• Secure Storage: Encrypted storage for sensitive data at rest
• Access Controls: Strict access controls and authentication for our systems
• Regular Audits: Security audits and updates to maintain data protection
• Payment Security: All payments processed through Apple and Google's secure payment systems

4.2 Data Location and Overseas Disclosure

Your data may be stored and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Our principal overseas recipients are the cloud hosting, analytics and payment providers described in section 5.

4.3 Security Limitations

While we strive to protect your information using commercially acceptable means, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

4.4 Data Breach Notification

If we become aware of a data breach that is likely to result in serious harm, we will notify affected individuals and the relevant data protection authorities as required by applicable law.

5. Third-Party Services

We work with trusted third-party services to operate our business:

5.1 Analytics and Advertising Providers

• Vemetric (website): Traffic and page analytics. Sets no cookies and stores no identifier on your device, so it runs without asking for consent.
• Google Analytics 4 (website): Traffic and behaviour analytics. Uses cookies. Where consent is required it stays disabled until you allow it, and still reports basic, cookieless page counts in the meantime.
• Google Ads (website): Measures which advertising brings people to the site, and builds remarketing audiences. Uses cookies and is subject to the same consent choice.
• Meta (Facebook) Pixel (website): Measures advertising results and builds audiences on Facebook and Instagram. Uses cookies and tracks activity across other sites. It loads on every visit, in every region, and is not covered by the cookie choice described in section 5.4.
• Firebase Analytics (mobile apps): App usage analytics and crash reporting.

We previously used Microsoft Clarity and Ahrefs Web Analytics on the website. Both were removed in August 2026 and no longer receive any data.

5.2 App Stores

• Apple App Store: Payment processing and app distribution for iOS
• Google Play Store: Payment processing and app distribution for Android

5.3 Hosting and Infrastructure

• Cloud hosting providers for website and data storage
• Content delivery networks for fast and reliable service

5.4 Cookies and Your Choice

Cookies are small files a site stores in your browser. We group ours in two:

• Necessary: Needed for the site to work — remembering your theme, keeping a session. These are always on.
• Analytics and advertising: Google Analytics and Google Ads, described above. These are the ones you choose about.

If you are in the EU, EEA, United Kingdom or Switzerland, we ask before setting a Google analytics or advertising cookie, and nothing in that group loads until you accept. Elsewhere they are enabled by default and you can still opt out with your browser or an ad blocker. The Meta (Facebook) Pixel sits outside this choice: it loads on every visit regardless of what you pick here. To stop it, use your browser's tracking protection or an ad blocker. To change a choice you already made, clear this site's data in your browser and the prompt will appear again on your next visit.

Declining does not reduce anything you can do on the site. Vemetric still counts the visit, because it identifies nobody.

These third parties have their own privacy policies governing their use of your information. We encourage you to review their policies.

6. Children's Privacy

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will take steps to delete such information from our systems.

For users between 13 and 18 years of age, we recommend parental or guardian supervision when using our Services.

7.4 Exercising Your Rights
