1. Information We Collect

GK MCQ does not intentionally collect unnecessary personal information. However, to provide app features, login access, premium access, notifications, ads, and purchase verification, the app and third-party services used in the app may collect or process the following types of information.

1.1 App Usage and Technical Information

This information is used to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the app experience.

  • Login authentication status

This information is used only for login, user identification inside the app, account-based access, premium status management, purchase restoration, app security, and support purposes.

GK MCQ does not collect or store your Google account password. Google Sign-In authentication is handled by Google and/or Firebase Authentication.

The app may also use Firebase services, including Firebase Authentication or a Firebase user identifier. This helps the app identify a user inside the app and provide account-based features.

This identifier may be used for:

  • Managing login access
  • Managing premium or ads-free access
  • Saving subscription or purchase entitlement status
  • Restoring purchases
  • Providing app settings and content access
  • Preventing misuse or unauthorized access

When a user purchases a premium plan, the app may process purchase-related information, such as:

  • Product ID
  • Purchase token

  • Subscription or entitlement status

Payment details such as card number, UPI PIN, CVV, bank account details, or payment passwords are not collected or stored by GK MCQ. Payments are processed securely by Google Play.

AdMob and related advertising services may collect or process information such as:

  • Advertising ID

3. Google Sign-In

GK MCQ may provide Google Sign-In as a login option. Google Sign-In helps users access the app using their Google account.

When you sign in with Google, the app may receive basic account information such as your name, email address, profile picture, and Google/Firebase user ID. This information is used to create or identify your app account, manage access, restore purchases, verify premium access, and provide support.

GK MCQ may provide premium or ads-free access through Google Play Billing.

After a successful purchase, the app may verify the purchase using Google Play purchase information and update the user’s premium status. When premium status is active, the app attempts to hide AdMob ads.

If ads are still visible after purchase, the user may use the “Restore Purchases” option or contact support at vijyacrafto@gmail.com.
