Privacy Policy
Timoni — Cyprus driving theory exam preparation app
Last updated: 18 August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information the Timoni mobile app (“the App”, “we”, “us”) collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. The App helps you prepare for the Cyprus driving theory exam by practising questions and tracking your progress with a spaced-repetition schedule.
1. Who we are
The App is developed and operated by Ilya Skriblovsky (“the developer”), an individual developer. For any privacy questions you can reach us at ilyaskriblovsky@gmail.com.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Anonymous installation identifier
When you first open the App, it generates a random identifier (a UUID) and stores it on your device. This identifier is sent with each request to our server so that your learning progress can be saved and returned to the right device. It is not linked to your name, email, phone number, or any other real-world identity, and it is not an advertising identifier. If you clear the App’s storage or uninstall the App, the identifier is removed from your device and a new one is generated on the next launch.
2.2 Learning activity
To provide the spaced-repetition feature, we store, associated with your anonymous installation identifier:
- which questions you have answered;
- whether each answer was correct;
- how long you took to answer (response time);
- the resulting scheduling data (review dates and difficulty values used by the spaced-repetition algorithm).
2.3 App and device basics
When the App loads your progress, it also tells our server which platform it runs on (for example, Android or iOS), the App version, and the language you selected in the App. We store the latest of these values, plus the date and time of the most recent time the App contacted the server, associated with your anonymous installation identifier. We use this to count how many installations are active, to know which App versions are still in use, and to decide which languages to support. We do not keep a history of individual sessions, and this data is not shared with any advertising or analytics network.
2.4 Your study reminder setting
If you switch on the daily study reminder, the App tells our server that it is on and at what time of day you set it, and we store the latest of these values with your anonymous installation identifier. We use this only to understand how many people use the feature and which times they prefer. The reminder itself is created and shown by your own device — we do not send it, and we do not learn whether it appeared or whether you opened it.
2.5 Feedback you choose to send
If you use the in-app feedback feature, we receive the message you write and, only if you choose to provide them, optional contact details so we can reply: a name and one contact handle (email, WhatsApp, Viber, or Telegram). To help us troubleshoot, the feedback also includes your App version and platform (for example, Android or iOS). Providing contact details is entirely optional — you can send feedback without them.
2.6 Technical/server logs
Like any service accessed over the internet, our server may automatically record standard technical information when your device connects, such as your IP address, the date and time of the request, and basic request details. These logs are used to operate, secure, and debug the service and are retained only for a short period.
What we do not collect
- No account, sign-up, name, or email is required to use the App.
- No precise location, contacts, photos, microphone, or camera data.
- No advertising identifiers and no advertising.
- No third-party analytics, behavioural tracking, or ad SDKs.
- We never sell your data.
3. How we use the information
- To save your learning progress and return it to your device, and to schedule which questions to review next (spaced repetition).
- To read and respond to feedback you send us.
- To understand how widely the App is used — how many installations are active, on which platforms and versions, and in which languages — so we can support the right ones.
- To see how many people use the daily study reminder and at what times, so we can judge whether the feature helps.
- To operate, maintain, secure, debug, and improve the service.
4. Legal bases (GDPR)
Because Cyprus is in the EU, we process personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our legal bases are:
- Performance of the service and our legitimate interest in providing a working, progress-saving learning app (installation identifier, learning activity, app and device basics, server logs).
- Your consent, given when you voluntarily submit feedback and any optional contact details. You can withhold contact details, and you can ask us to delete them at any time.
5. Service providers and third parties
We do not sell or rent your data. We share data only with the providers below, strictly to run the App:
| Provider | Purpose | Data involved |
|---|---|---|
| Our hosting provider | Runs the server that the App connects to | All data described above, as processed on our server |
| Airtable (Formagrid, Inc., USA) | Stores the question content shown in the App; a copy of feedback you submit is also saved here so we can review it | Feedback message and any optional contact details you provide |
| Telegram (Telegram Messenger Inc.) | Sends the developer a private notification when new feedback arrives | Feedback message and any optional contact details you provide |
These providers may process data on servers located outside the European Economic Area (for example, in the United States). Where that happens, such transfers rely on the safeguards offered by those providers (such as standard contractual clauses).
6. Data retention
We keep your learning progress while you continue to use the App so that it remains available across sessions. Feedback is kept for as long as needed to handle your message and improve the App. Server logs are kept only briefly. You can ask us to delete your data at any time (see “Your rights”).
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. To exercise these rights, contact us at ilyaskriblovsky@gmail.com.
Because your data is linked only to an anonymous installation identifier, we may ask you to provide that identifier (or send your request through the in-app feedback feature) so we can locate the right data. Note that clearing the App’s storage or uninstalling the App removes the identifier from your device, after which your previous progress can no longer be associated with you. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection of the Republic of Cyprus.
8. Children’s privacy
The App is intended for people preparing for a driving theory exam and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
9. Security
We take reasonable technical measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) between the App and our server. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes may also be announced within the App.
