Privacy Policy for Permit Coach
Last updated: November 14, 2026
Permit Coach is a study app for the written knowledge test for a learner's permit in the United States. It is offered in the United States only. This policy explains what happens to information when you use it. The short version: there is no account, your answers and progress stay on your phone, and only the information needed for purchases leaves it.
1. Who we are
Permit Coach is published under the name Pocketkind by NEWETY TEKNOLOJİ VE YAZILIM LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ, a limited company with its registered address at Çamtepe Mah. Mahmut Tevfik Atay Blv. Gaziantep Teknopark No: 4A İç Kapı No: 11, Şahinbey / Gaziantep, Türkiye, registered with the Gaziantep Trade Registry Office under number 66455 (MERSIS number 0631171369100001) ("we", "us"). We are the data controller for the information described here.
Contact for privacy questions and requests: support@pocketkind.app.
Permit Coach is not affiliated with, endorsed by or run by any DMV, state agency or other government body.
2. Information that stays on your phone
The app keeps the following only on your device, in the app's own storage. We do not receive it:
- the state you chose and the license type;
- your test date, if you enter one;
- your answers, scores, progress, missed questions and practice-exam results;
- your notification settings and the reminders the app schedules on the phone;
- a creator code, if you type one or open the app from a link or a Google Play link that carries one (see section 3.2);
- whether you have already taken the free check for a state.
You can export this information to a file, import it on another phone, or erase it with Settings > Delete all data. Uninstalling the app also removes it. Your phone's own backup service may copy app data according to your phone's settings; that is between you and the backup provider.
Reminders are local notifications created on your phone. No notification server is involved, and we do not receive your test date.
3. Information that leaves your phone
3.1 Purchases (RevenueCat and the app store)
Subscriptions are sold by Google Play or the Apple App Store. They handle your payment; neither we nor RevenueCat see your card or bank details. RevenueCat manages the subscription and receives an anonymous app-generated id, your purchase history, your device locale and, if you entered one, the creator code. RevenueCat, Inc. (United States) checks which subscription you hold and restores purchases. The id is random, created by RevenueCat's software for this app installation; we send no name, email address, phone number or account id of our own, and we do not use advertising identifiers or advertising-attribution features. If a creator code is stored on your phone, the app also sends it, how it was entered (typed, from a link, or from the Google Play install link), and when.
Purpose: to provide what you paid for and to pay creators a commission on sales they referred. Legal basis under Turkish data protection law (KVKK): performance of the contract with you, and our legitimate interest in keeping accurate sales records.
3.2 Creator codes and the Google Play install referrer
On Android, the first time you open the app after installing it from a Google Play link, the app reads the link's referrer once, only to find a creator code (for example creator=ANNA). Nothing else from the referrer is kept or sent. A creator code is a public promotional name, not information about you. It gives you no discount and changes nothing in the app.
3.3 Emails you send us
The "Report this question" button opens your own email app with a message addressed to us and the question number filled in. Nothing is sent unless you send it. If you write to us, we receive your email address and whatever you write, and we use it only to answer you and to correct the question.
3.4 What we do not collect
No account, name, email address (unless you email us), phone number, postal address, precise or approximate location, contacts, photos, microphone, advertising identifier, or browsing history. No usage analytics. The app shows no advertising and contains no advertising software.
4. Who receives information
Only RevenueCat (purchases), acting on our instructions, and Google or Apple for the purchase itself, under their own privacy policies. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose information if the law requires it.
RevenueCat is in the United States, where the app is offered.
5. How long information is kept
- On your phone: until you delete it, use Delete all data, or uninstall the app.
- RevenueCat: for as long as your subscription records are needed to provide the service and to meet accounting and tax obligations, then deleted or anonymized.
- Support emails: as long as needed to answer you and to correct the question.
6. Age
Permit Coach is for people aged 13 and over who are preparing for a learner's permit test. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Because there is no account and no profile, we hold nothing that identifies a learner. A parent or guardian who believes a child under 13 has sent us information, for example by email, can write to support@pocketkind.app and we will delete it.
Learners under 18 should ask a parent or guardian before buying a subscription.
7. Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us what information we hold about you, ask for a copy, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to its use, by writing to support@pocketkind.app. Because we hold no account, the quickest way to delete what is on your phone is Settings > Delete all data. To ask for your purchase records at RevenueCat to be deleted, write to us and include the order number from your Google Play or App Store receipt, so we can find the purchase (never send card details). We then ask RevenueCat to delete the records.
- United States: residents of states with consumer privacy laws (for example California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and others) may have rights to know, access, correct, delete and port their information, and to opt out of sale, targeted advertising and profiling. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising or profiling. We will not treat you differently for exercising a right. You may use an authorized agent where your state's law allows it.
- Türkiye (KVKK, Law No. 6698): because we are based in Türkiye, you also have the rights listed in article 11, including to learn whether your data is processed, to ask for correction or deletion, and to object to a result that arises from automated analysis. You may apply to us in writing and, if we do not resolve it, to the Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK).
We answer requests within the time the applicable law sets (usually 30 days, or 45 days in several US states).
8. Security
Data sent to our providers travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS). On your phone, the app's data sits in the app's private storage, protected by your phone's own security.
9. Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top and, for a material change, say so in the app or the store listing before it takes effect.
