This Privacy Policy explains how IELTS Band 9 AI Coach handles information when users install, open, and use the app.
IELTS Band 9 AI Coach is developed by NGRecipe. We respect user privacy and aim to collect only the information that is necessary to provide, improve, protect, and support the app.
By using IELTS Band 9 AI Coach, users agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If a user does not agree with this Privacy Policy, they should stop using the app and may uninstall it from their device.

2. Independent IELTS Disclaimer
IELTS Band 9 AI Coach is an independent IELTS preparation app by NGRecipe.
This app is not affiliated with, endorsed by, approved by, sponsored by, or officially connected with IELTS, British Council, IDP, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press & Assessment, or any official IELTS test owner.
All practice materials, questions, explanations, vocabulary, model answers, lessons, and study tools inside the app are created for educational preparation purposes.
3. No Guaranteed Score or Professional Advice
IELTS Band 9 AI Coach is designed to support IELTS preparation and help learners practise more effectively.
The app does not guarantee Band 9 or any specific IELTS score. Actual test results depend on many factors, including the user’s current English level, preparation quality, consistency, timing control, test-day performance, and official examiner assessment.
The app provides educational information only. It is not legal, immigration, visa, academic admission, or official exam registration advice. Users should always check official IELTS, university, immigration, or test-centre sources for final decisions and official requirements.
4. Scope of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the IELTS Band 9 AI Coach Android app and related support communication.
This Privacy Policy does not control the privacy practices of third-party services, websites, app stores, advertising networks, device manufacturers, operating systems, or external links. Third-party services may have their own privacy policies and terms.
5. Information We May Collect or Process
IELTS Band 9 AI Coach is designed to work without requiring users to create an account.
Depending on how the user uses the app, the app may handle the following types of information.
5.1 Local Study Progress
The app may store study progress locally on the user’s device, such as:
Opened lessons
Opened tests
Opened vocabulary lists
Opened audio drills
Study streak
Session count
Practice activity
Reminder preference
Track choice, such as Academic or General Training
Basic in-app learning progress
This information is used to help users continue learning, view progress, return to useful sections, and build study consistency.
Local study progress is intended to remain on the user’s device unless a future version clearly introduces account login, cloud sync, backup, or server-based features.
5.2 User-Provided Feedback
If a user chooses to send feedback, contact support, or email us, the user may voluntarily provide information such as:
Email address
Name, if included by the user
Feedback message
Bug report
Device details, if included by the user
Screenshots or attachments, if included by the user
We use this information to respond to the user, fix issues, improve the app, and maintain support records.
Users should not send sensitive personal information through feedback messages.
5.3 Advertising and AdMob Data
The app may use Google AdMob or related Google advertising services to show ads.
Google and its advertising partners may collect or process data such as:
Device identifiers
Advertising ID
Ad interactions
Approximate app activity related to ads
App diagnostics
Crash or performance information
Information used to deliver, measure, limit, personalize, or improve ads
Advertising data may be processed according to Google’s own privacy policy, advertising policies, consent tools, and user settings.
Users may be able to manage ad personalization through Google settings or device settings.
5.4 Microphone Permission for Speaking Practice
The app may request microphone permission if speaking recording practice is available and the user chooses to use it.
Microphone access may be used to record the user’s speaking practice so the user can play it back and review their own fluency, pronunciation, timing, and response quality.
The app does not intentionally use the microphone for hidden recording. Users can deny microphone permission or disable it later through Android settings.
If a recording feature is local-only, recordings are intended to remain on the user’s device unless the user manually shares them or a future version clearly adds cloud-based features.
5.5 Notification Permission and Study Reminders
The app may request notification permission to provide optional study reminders.
Study reminders are intended to help users return to IELTS preparation in a calm and useful way. Users may turn reminders off inside the app where available or through Android notification settings.
The app should not be used as an emergency, health, legal, immigration, or official exam reminder service.
5.6 App Store and Device Information
When users download, install, update, review, or interact with the app through Google Play, Google may process app store, device, purchase, diagnostics, review, and account-related information according to Google’s own policies.
We do not control Google Play’s independent data processing.
6. Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect
IELTS Band 9 AI Coach does not intentionally require users to provide:
Government ID
Passport number
IELTS candidate number
IELTS registration number
Payment card details
Bank information
Exact GPS location
Home address
Contacts list
Health information
Religious information
Political information

User consent, such as for optional permissions, notifications, or certain advertising choices
Performance of a service requested by the user, such as providing app features
Legitimate interests, such as improving the app, protecting security, preventing misuse, and responding to support requests

Local study progress is intended to remain on the user’s device unless a future version clearly adds cloud sync, account login, backup, or server-side features.
10. International Data Transfers
Users may access the app from different countries.
Third-party services such as Google AdMob may process information on servers located in different countries. Data protection laws may differ from country to country.
Where required, we aim to rely on appropriate safeguards, service-provider terms, privacy frameworks, or other lawful mechanisms used by the relevant third-party service providers.
11. Data Retention
Local study progress may remain on the user’s device until the user clears app data, resets the app where available, or uninstalls the app.
Feedback emails and support messages may be kept for a reasonable period to respond to users, resolve issues, maintain records, and improve the app.
Advertising-related data may be retained by Google or advertising partners according to their own policies.
We aim not to keep personal information longer than reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
12. User Choices and Controls
Users may control many privacy choices through the app, Android settings, Google settings, or device settings.
Users may:

Disable microphone permission later
Disable notification permission
Turn off reminders where available
Clear app data
Uninstall the app
Control ad personalization through Google or device settings
Choose not to send feedback
Request access, correction, or deletion of information they provided directly to us

15. Children and Teen Users
IELTS Band 9 AI Coach is an educational app for IELTS preparation. IELTS learners may include teens, students, workers, and adults.
The app is not primarily directed to children under 13 and does not intentionally collect personal information from children under 13.
If a user is under the age of digital consent in their country or region, they should use the app only with permission and guidance from a parent, guardian, teacher, or responsible adult.
Parents or guardians who believe that a child has provided personal information to us may contact support@ngrecipe.com to request review or deletion.

Depending on app version and device settings, the app may request permissions such as:

17. Third-Party Links and External Websites
The app may include links to external websites, such as NGRecipe websites, developer websites, Google Play, feedback email, or app review pages.
We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or security of external websites or third-party services. Users should review the privacy policies of those external services.
18. Security
We use reasonable efforts to protect information and avoid unnecessary collection of personal data.
However, no mobile app, device, network, or internet-based service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should avoid sending sensitive information through feedback, email, or screenshots.

Users are responsible for the accuracy of information they voluntarily send to us.
If a user believes information they provided is inaccurate, they may contact us and request correction or deletion where applicable.
20. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Controls
Some browsers or devices may send “Do Not Track” or similar signals. Because IELTS Band 9 AI Coach is a mobile app and may rely on third-party advertising services, response to such signals may depend on the device, operating system, Google settings, and third-party service behavior.
Where applicable, users may manage ad personalization and privacy choices through Google settings and Android device settings.
21. Account, Payment, and Cloud Sync Notice
The current app is designed to work without requiring a user account.
If a future version adds account login, paid subscriptions, in-app purchases, cloud sync, server backup, or personalized AI/cloud features, this Privacy Policy should be updated before those features are released.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect:
App changes
