Privacy Policy for the app "Einbürgerungstest – Leben in Deutschland"

Last updated: 11 November 2026

Deutsche Fassung (German version, legally binding)

1. In short

This app needs no account. It shows no advertising. It uses no analytics services. The app does not load anything from the internet and does not send anything to the internet. Your progress stays on your phone. This is an unofficial learning aid. It is not an offer of any public authority.

2. Who is responsible?

Vincenz Orlowski – VO Media
Email: support@vo-media.group

3. What is stored on your phone?

The app stores on your phone: your answers, the questions you answered wrongly, your progress, your chosen federal state and your settings (for example language, simple language, goal of the exam). This data does not leave your phone. We cannot see it. You can delete it at any time: in the app under "Delete progress" (German: "Fortschritt löschen") or by uninstalling the app.

Why are we allowed to do this? The storage is necessary so that the app works the way you want it to (Section 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG, German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act).

4. Data connections

The app has no permission to access the internet. There is therefore no connection to our servers or to third-party servers.

If you read this privacy policy on our website: This website is hosted by Cloudflare Pages (provider: Cloudflare, Inc., USA). When you open a page, Cloudflare processes your IP address, the time, the requested file and technical browser data. This is needed to deliver the page to you securely and quickly; Cloudflare uses servers in many countries. The data may therefore also be processed outside the EU, especially in the USA. As the basis for this transfer, Cloudflare states its certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (alternatively the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses). How long Cloudflare keeps log data is determined by Cloudflare (cloudflare.com/privacypolicy). We do not keep our own access logs, set no cookies and use no analytics tools. Why are we allowed to do this? Because we must operate the site securely and quickly (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

5. Text-to-speech, Google Play

The read-aloud function uses the text-to-speech engine of your phone. Depending on the device, it may use a service of the device manufacturer (for example Google). The app itself sends nothing.

When you buy or download the app, Google processes the data required for this (for example account and payment). Google is responsible for this itself: policies.google.com/privacy. In the Play Console we can see figures about purchases and installations.

6. Contact by email

If you write to us, we use your email address and your message only to answer you. We delete them when the request is dealt with, unless the law requires us to keep them longer. Why are we allowed to do this? Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR. Our address support@vo-media.group is a forwarding address: Cloudflare (Email Routing, Cloudflare, Inc., USA) receives the message and forwards it to our mailbox at Google (Gmail). Cloudflare and Google technically process your email address and your message in doing so (transfer to the USA, legal basis as described above).

7. What we do not do

No advertising, no tracking, no analytics tools, no sale of data, no disclosure to third parties (except as described above to Google and Cloudflare (host of this website)).

8. Your rights

You can ask which data we hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR). You can ask us to correct errors (Art. 16) or to delete data (Art. 17). You can ask us to restrict the use of data (Art. 18) or to give you your data in a common format (Art. 20). You can object to the use of your data (Art. 21). Write to support@vo-media.group for this.

You can also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). You can contact the data protection supervisory authority of your federal state (Land).

9. Language and changes

The German version is the legally binding one. This English version is a courtesy translation. If the app changes, we will update this policy. The current date is at the top.
