Privacy policy
What the app saves on your device and does not send to us, how backups and reminders work, and what this website uses. Rendered from the policy’s source, word for word.
Civic Mosaic (full name "Civic Mosaic: Citizenship Test") is an independent study app. It is not affiliated with any government.
No account, and nothing sent to us
You don't need an account to use the app. The app does not send your name, answers or progress to us, and it has no analytics, advertising or crash-reporting services.
What is saved on your device
If you added a name for the app to greet you by, it is saved on your device with your answers, scores, study progress, study plan (test date, daily goal and reminder time) and the country you chose. The app keeps them there so it works offline, and does not send them to us. Deleting the app deletes them from your device.
Backups
Your device's own backup and transfer features may keep or move a copy. On Android, if backup to your Google account is turned on, it includes this data, and Android can restore it when you reinstall the app or set up a new device. When you set up a new Android device by copying data straight from your old one (device-to-device transfer, for example with a cable), Android can copy this data too. On iPhone and iPad, the app keeps this data out of iCloud and computer backups.
Reminders
If you turn on daily reminders, they are scheduled by your device's own notification system. No server is involved, and you can turn them off at any time in the app or in your device settings.
Children
The app is meant for adults preparing for a citizenship test and is not directed at children.
This website (civicmosaic.com)
This section is about the website only. Nothing here changes how the app handles your data.
- Hosting. Cloudflare hosts the website. To deliver each page, Cloudflare receives the information every browser sends, such as your IP address, your browser's name and the address of the page. Some browsers also send Cloudflare a short error report when part of the site fails to load. Cloudflare may handle all of this in a data centre outside your country. From these requests, without any script on the page, Cloudflare's dashboard shows us totals such as how many pages were requested, from which countries and with what result. Cloudflare's privacy policy explains how Cloudflare handles it.
- Visit statistics. The website no longer runs an analytics script. Until 1 November 2026 it used Cloudflare Web Analytics: Cloudflare added a small script to each page that reported the page visited, the site that linked to it, your country, browser, operating system and device type, and how quickly the page loaded and responded to taps and clicks. Cloudflare's documentation says that script used no cookies or other storage in your browser and did not fingerprint visitors. The reports already sent stay with Cloudflare as its documentation describes: detailed reports for 7 days and a reduced sample after that, which its dashboard shows us for six months.
- Nothing of our own. The website has no accounts, forms, advertising or cookies of its own, and its own code does not save or send your answers to the sample questions. The only thing it saves in your browser is your theme choice, below.
- Your theme choice. With JavaScript turned on, each page has a theme switch: System, Light or Dark. If you choose Light or Dark, your browser saves that one word on your device, in this website's local storage, so other pages and later visits use it. It is not a cookie, it is not sent to us or anyone else, and it does not identify you. Choosing System deletes it, and so does clearing this website's data in your browser.
- Email. Messages to support@civicmosaic.com pass through Cloudflare Email Routing to our support inbox, a Gmail account (Google).
Changes
If the app ever sends data off your device (for example to confirm a purchase or to understand which features help people learn), this policy will say exactly what, why and for how long, before that version is released.
