Privacy Policy
Pino: Italian Exam A2-B1 · Last updated: 5 November 2026 · Versione italiana
This policy explains what information the Pino app (“Pino”, “we”, “us”) collects, why, and what choices you have. In short: Pino has no accounts and no ads, does not sell your data, and keeps your name, answers and voice recordings only on your phone. We only use anonymous usage statistics and the information needed to process purchases.
1. Who is responsible
The data controller is Volodymyr Kubiv, the independent developer who publishes Pino on the App Store and Google Play. Pino is not a government app and is not run by any public body or exam centre. Contact: pinoexam@gmail.com.
2. Information that stays on your device
The following is stored only on your phone and is never sent to us or to anyone else:
- Your first name and exam date, if you enter them, used to personalise the app and plan your study.
- Your answers, scores, progress and written texts. Writing feedback is calculated on the device.
- Voice recordings from the speaking practice. The app asks for microphone access only so you can record yourself and listen back during the test. Recordings exist only while the test is in progress and are deleted when the test ends; they are never uploaded or kept.
- Settings and reminders. Study reminders are local notifications scheduled on your phone; no push service or server is involved.
Deleting the app removes all of this information.
3. Information processed by service providers
| Service | What and why |
|---|---|
| Google Firebase Analytics Google Ireland Ltd. / Google LLC |
Anonymous usage events (for example: test started or finished, section completed, paywall shown, purchase completed), chosen level, app language, whether an exam date is set, device model, OS version, app version, approximate country (from IP address) and a random app-instance ID. Used to understand which features work and to fix problems. Advertising identifiers are not collected and the data is not used for advertising. Your name, answers and recordings are never sent. |
| RevenueCat RevenueCat, Inc. (USA) |
Manages in-app purchases: a random anonymous user ID, the products you bought, transaction IDs and dates, price and currency, country, device platform and app version. Used to unlock what you paid for, to restore purchases and to keep records of sales. |
| Apple App Store / Google Play | Process the payment. We never see your card details, Apple ID or Google account. Their own privacy policies apply. |
| Firebase Hosting Cloudflare Cloudflare, Inc. (USA) |
Deliver the tests, audio and pictures to the app. Like any web server it briefly processes your IP address and device information to send the files. |
Some providers are located in the USA. Transfers are covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
4. Legal basis (GDPR)
- Contract: processing purchases and unlocking content you bought (Art. 6(1)(b)).
- Legitimate interest: anonymous statistics to improve the app and fix errors, and delivering content (Art. 6(1)(f)).
- Legal obligation: keeping sales records required by tax law (Art. 6(1)(c)).
5. How long we keep data
- Analytics data: automatically deleted after at most 14 months.
- Purchase records: as long as needed to provide your purchases and as required by tax law (usually up to 10 years).
- Data on your device: until you delete it or uninstall the app.
6. Your rights
You can ask for access to, correction or deletion of your data, restrict or object to processing, and ask for a copy of it. Because Pino has no accounts, we cannot identify you by name: when you write to us, include the purchase receipt or order number so we can find the related records. You can also lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (in Italy: the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).
You can stop analytics at any time by uninstalling the app. On iOS you can also turn off Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements → Share with App Developers.
7. Tracking
Pino does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites, does not use advertising IDs and shows no ads.
8. Children
Pino is meant for adults and teenagers preparing for language exams. It is not directed at children under 13 (under 14 in Italy), and we do not knowingly collect their data.
9. Security
All connections use HTTPS. Data on your device is protected by your phone’s own security.
10. Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.

Informativa sulla privacy
Pino: Italian Exam A2-B1 · Ultimo aggiornamento: 5 novembre 2026
In breve: Pino non ha account né pubblicità, non vende i tuoi dati e conserva il tuo nome, le risposte e le registrazioni vocali sul telefono. Usiamo solo statistiche d’uso anonime e i dati necessari per gli acquisti.
1. Titolare del trattamento
Volodymyr Kubiv, lo sviluppatore indipendente che pubblica Pino su App Store e Google Play. Pino non è un’app governativa e non è gestita da enti pubblici o centri d’esame. Contatto: pinoexam@gmail.com.
2. Dati che restano sul dispositivo
- Nome e data dell’esame, se li inserisci, per personalizzare l’app e il piano di studio.
- Risposte, punteggi, progressi e testi scritti. La correzione della scrittura avviene sul dispositivo.
- Registrazioni vocali della prova di parlato: il microfono serve solo per registrarti e riascoltarti durante la prova. Le registrazioni esistono solo mentre la prova è in corso e vengono cancellate alla fine; non vengono mai inviate né conservate.
- Impostazioni e promemoria: notifiche locali programmate sul telefono, senza server.
Cancellando l’app si cancellano tutti questi dati.
3. Dati trattati da fornitori di servizi
- Google Firebase Analytics: eventi d’uso anonimi (prova iniziata o finita, sezione completata, paywall mostrato, acquisto completato), livello, lingua dell’app, presenza di una data d’esame, modello del dispositivo, versione del sistema e dell’app, paese approssimativo e un ID casuale dell’installazione. Nessun identificativo pubblicitario, nessun uso a fini pubblicitari.
- RevenueCat, Inc.: gestione degli acquisti in-app (ID anonimo casuale, prodotti acquistati, ID e data delle transazioni, prezzo, valuta, paese, piattaforma). Serve a sbloccare e ripristinare gli acquisti.
- Apple App Store / Google Play: gestiscono il pagamento; non vediamo mai i dati della tua carta né il tuo account.
- Firebase Hosting (Google) e Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., USA): inviano all’app prove, audio e immagini (trattano brevemente l’indirizzo IP).
Alcuni fornitori si trovano negli USA; i trasferimenti sono coperti dall’EU–US Data Privacy Framework e/o dalle clausole contrattuali standard.
4. Base giuridica
Esecuzione del contratto (acquisti, art. 6.1.b GDPR), legittimo interesse (statistiche anonime e consegna dei contenuti, art. 6.1.f), obbligo legale (registri fiscali, art. 6.1.c).
5. Conservazione
Dati analitici: al massimo 14 mesi. Registri degli acquisti: per il tempo necessario e quanto richiesto dalla legge fiscale (di solito fino a 10 anni). Dati sul dispositivo: finché non li cancelli.
6. I tuoi diritti
Puoi chiedere accesso, rettifica, cancellazione, limitazione, opposizione e portabilità dei dati scrivendo a pinoexam@gmail.com (allega la ricevuta d’acquisto, perché l’app non ha account). Puoi anche presentare reclamo al Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
7. Tracciamento e minori
Pino non ti traccia su app o siti di altre aziende e non mostra pubblicità. L’app non è rivolta a minori di 14 anni.
