IELTS Prep (iOS and Android) · Last updated: November 5, 2026
IELTS Prep does not require an account. Practice data is stored on your device. You can choose iCloud backup and optional AI features as described below. We do not run advertising or third-party analytics.
Your module and target band, test results, mock-exam progress, streaks, vocabulary progress, writing drafts and speaking recordings are saved in the app's private storage on your device. The default build does not upload this data to an app-operated server. You can erase practice progress and saved recordings from Settings → Data; this does not cancel a store subscription. Uninstalling removes local app data. Data included in a device backup or a separately created iCloud backup may remain in that backup.
Speaking practice records your voice with your device's microphone so you can listen back. Saved practice recordings are kept in the app’s private storage for playback and can be deleted from the task or by erasing practice progress. Separate transcription and pronunciation features use the device’s speech-recognition service. Depending on device and language support, that service may process audio through Apple or Google under their privacy policies. The app does not send saved recordings to its AI coach. Microphone and speech permissions are requested when these features are used.
In the default standalone build, optional AI feedback uses Apple Intelligence on supported devices and processes prompts and responses on-device. Availability depends on the device, language, region and system settings. Normal practice and self-assessment work without AI.
The default standalone build has no cloud AI endpoint and does not send answer text to a third-party AI provider.
Automatic app-level iCloud backup is off by default. If you enable it or choose “Back up now”, your learner profile, goals, drafts, results and other progress data are saved to your own Apple iCloud account. Audio files are not included in this app-level backup. Turning automatic backup off stops new automatic backups but does not delete an existing backup. Apple manages iCloud storage and any device backups under your Apple account settings.
Home and Lock Screen widgets may show your streak, study focus, goal and exam countdown using storage shared only with the app’s widget extension. Local reminders are scheduled on your device after notification permission.
Some Listening sections and Speaking questions are read aloud using your device's built-in text-to-speech voice. The text is processed by your device and is not sent to us.
Membership is sold and billed by the App Store or Google Play. We receive no payment details; the app only learns from the store whether a subscription is active. Manage or cancel it in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings.
App Store and Google Play releases use store purchases to unlock membership. Local debug builds may include developer test codes, which are checked on-device.
The app is intended for learners aged 13 and over and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone.
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with an updated date.
