Legal · US Citizenship Test 2026
Last updated: 17 October 2026
ShelNova Labs Ltd. ("ShelNova Labs", "we", "our", or "us") develops and operates US Citizenship Test 2026("the App"), a study app for the U.S. naturalization civics test, available on Android and iOS. This policy explains what information the App handles, why, and the choices you have.
The App is an independent study app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or any government agency, and it never asks for your immigration details, case number or A-number.
There are no accounts. Your study progress, review schedule, streak, mock interview results and settings (test version, languages, the state you chose, reminder time and theme) are saved on your device only. We cannot see them, and they are deleted when you uninstall the App.
When you answer out loud in the Speak or mock interview modes, the App asks for microphone permission and uses your phone's built-in speech recognition (provided by Apple on iOS and by Google or your device maker on Android) to turn your answer into text. The App compares that text with the accepted answers on your device and then discards it. The App does not record, save or upload your voice or your transcripts.
Depending on your phone and settings, the speech recognition service may process your audio on its own servers under its provider's privacy policy. You can deny or withdraw microphone permission at any time in your phone's settings and still mark your own answers.
We use Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to understand how the App is used and to fix crashes. These record anonymous events such as installing the App, finishing onboarding, taking a first mock interview, opening the purchase screen, completing a purchase, a spoken answer attempt, and reporting a problem with a question (the question number and the reason you chose). They also record your device model, operating system, app version and crash logs. Your spoken answers, transcripts and the contents of any email are never included.
The App reads a small settings file from Firebase Remote Config to receive corrections to question text, and it may download updated audio clips from our storage on Cloudflare. These requests send standard technical information, such as your IP address, app version and platform, and no personal profile.
The optional Pass Pack is a one-time purchase handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We use RevenueCat to confirm purchases and restore them. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user identifier and the purchase receipt from the store. We never receive your name, payment card or billing details.
If you turn on the daily reminder, it is scheduled on your device as a local notification; no server is involved. If you choose to email us from the App, we receive what you write and your email address, and we use them only to reply and to fix the problem you report.
The App has no advertising and no accounts. It does not access your contacts, camera, photos or location, and it does not sell or share data for advertising.
We do not sell your personal information and we do not use it for advertising.
We use these service providers: Google (Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics and Remote Config), RevenueCat (purchase confirmation), Cloudflare (audio downloads), and Apple and Google (app stores and, on your device, speech recognition). They may process data on servers outside your country. We do not share your information with anyone else, except where the law requires it.
The App is meant for adults preparing for the naturalization interview. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will remove it.
Depending on where you live (for example under Kenya's Data Protection Act, the GDPR, the UK GDPR, or the CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, to object to or restrict its use, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Because your progress stays on your device, you can delete it at any time by uninstalling the App. For anything else, contact us.
We rely on the security of our providers and send data over encrypted connections. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this policy as the App changes. The date above shows the latest version, and continued use of the App after an update means you accept it.
