What Data We Collect

VAT Academy collects the absolute minimum data required for the app to function. We do not require any account, and we never ask for your name, phone number, or email. The only data tied to you is an anonymous device identifier used to activate your scratch card.

💾
Storage & Downloads To download and cache the legal content and PDF documents locally on your device so they open quickly and work offline
🌐
Network Access To activate your scratch card, download the latest legal content, translate words you tap, and read text aloud
🔑
Device Identifier An anonymous device ID is stored with your scratch card so a single code activates on one device only (piracy protection). It is not your name, phone, or advertising ID

Scratch Card Verification

When you enter a scratch code, the app verifies it against our secure database (Google Firebase Firestore). To make sure one code is used on one device only, we store just three things against your code:

The scratch code (marked as activated)

An anonymous device identifier

The activation date & time

That's it — no name, phone number, or email is ever collected. Your activation is also saved securely on your own device so you don't have to re-enter the code.

Third-Party Services We Use

To deliver its features, VAT Academy relies on a few trusted services. We never sell your data, and we only send what a feature needs to work:

🔥
Google Firebase (Firestore) Stores scratch codes and the anonymous device ID used for activation. See Google's privacy terms
🈯
Google Translate When you tap a word or use the translate button, that text is sent to Google Translate to return its meaning. No identity is attached. See Google's privacy policy
📖
Free Dictionary API When you look up an English word's definition, that word is sent to dictionaryapi.dev. No identity is attached
☁️
Cloudflare R2 & Expo Hosts and delivers the legal content, PDFs, and app updates you download. Only standard request data (such as your IP address) is processed to serve files
🔊
Device Text-to-Speech The "Read aloud" feature uses your device's built-in speech engine to read text. This is handled by your device's operating system

What We Never Do

Ask for your name, phone number, or email
Require any account, registration, or login
Show ads or use advertising networks
Track your location or your behavior across apps
Sell or rent your data to anyone
Use your data for anything beyond running the app

Who This App Is For

Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the revised policy.
