How Route2Kolleg handles account, learning, purchase, usage, and app stability information. Last updated: 7 July 2026.
1. Controller
Route2Kolleg is operated by Khalfi Alhami, Kassel, Germany. Contact: support@route2de.com.
2. What Route2Kolleg does
Route2Kolleg is an independent educational app for Studienkolleg preparation by Typkurs. It provides German practice, C-Test, Lückentest, mock tests, progress tracking, saved questions, and daily current-topic practice content. Route2Kolleg is not an official Studienkolleg, university, government, or admissions service.
3. Data we may collect
Depending on how you use the app, Route2Kolleg may process account data, learning data, purchase data, usage data, and app stability information.
- Account data: email address, display name, account identifier, sign-in provider, and sign-in records.
- Learning data: selected language, Typkurs, German level, daily goal, answered questions, progress, mistakes, saved questions, and mock test results.
- Purchase data: subscription or entitlement status, product identifier, purchase or restore status, and related App Store transaction records.
- Usage data: app launches, onboarding choices, practice events, mock test events, and feature interaction events.
- App stability information: crash reports, performance information, app version, device type, and app logs needed for stability and security.
4. Why we use data
- To create and authenticate user accounts.
- To sync progress, saved questions, daily goals, and settings across devices when sign-in is used.
- To unlock paid features and verify purchase entitlements.
- To understand product usage and improve existing features.
- To maintain security, prevent abuse, diagnose crashes, and improve app performance.
- To provide customer support when users contact us.
5. Third-party services
Route2Kolleg may use the following service providers:
- Google Firebase Authentication for email, Google, and Apple sign-in.
- Google Firebase Firestore for cloud content, progress sync, saved questions, settings, and entitlement records.
- Google Firebase Analytics for app usage analytics.
- Apple App Store for in-app purchase processing and app distribution.
These providers process data under their own infrastructure, security, and privacy terms. Apple handles App Store payments directly; we do not receive full payment card details.
6. Legal basis for users in the EEA/UK
Where GDPR or similar law applies, processing may be based on contract performance, legitimate interests, consent where required, and legal obligations related to purchases, security, and accounting.
7. No tracking for advertising
Route2Kolleg does not sell personal data, does not share personal data with data brokers, and does not use personal data for third-party targeted advertising.
8. Storage, transfers, and security
App data may be stored on your device and in Google Firebase cloud services. Depending on service configuration and provider infrastructure, data may be processed outside your country of residence. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including provider security controls, authentication, and access rules, to protect app data.
9. Data retention
Account and learning data are kept while the account is active or as needed to provide the app. Purchase records may be retained as required for entitlement, accounting, fraud prevention, and legal compliance. App stability and analytics information is retained according to the service providers' retention settings.
10. Account deletion
Users may request deletion of their account and associated app data by contacting support@route2de.com. If account deletion is available inside the app, users may also delete their account from the app settings. Some records may be retained where required by law or for legitimate security and purchase verification purposes.
11. User rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or export your personal data, and to object to certain processing. Contact us at support@route2de.com to exercise these rights.
12. Children
Route2Kolleg is intended for students preparing for higher education pathways. It is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
13. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy when the app, legal requirements, or third-party services change. The latest version will be available on this page.
