Your Privacy Matters
LoanPrep ("the App", "we", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our iOS application.
Key Principles
- Your loan assessment inputs and related financial information are intended to remain on your device
- We do not operate an account system or our own cloud database for your loan assessment inputs
- Transparent about advertising and data collection
- Controls for locally stored app content and applicable advertising choices
- Privacy practices are applied subject to applicable law
LoanPrep is primarily a local tool application. Your personal financial information is stored locally on your device. However, the App includes advertising features and notification services as described in this Policy.
Information We Collect
LoanPrep is designed to operate locally on your device. We collect and process only the information necessary to provide our services:
Assessment Information (Stored Locally)
- Selected app region, loan amount and loan purpose
- Monthly income range and employment status
- Credit history category
- Whether you report having valid identification and the type of bank account you select
- Age range, which is stored for display and is not used in the current eligibility calculation
- Asset-ownership categories you select
- For assessments created through an earlier assessment flow, employment duration, existing debts, and collateral type or value, if provided
App Usage Data (Stored Locally)
- Points balance and transaction history
- Daily check-in streaks
- Rewarded video watch history
- Checklist items and progress
- Assessment results and history
- Reports you choose to save, including a custom report name and notes you enter
- Purchase and points-redemption records used to calculate remaining report credits and entitlement status. A local record is automatically removed after all report credits represented by that record have been used
- App preferences and state, including appearance, currency, selected region, reminder settings and times, onboarding state, your Usage Analytics choice, and a manually selected legal-document language
- A limited queue of analytics events awaiting retry if Firebase is not yet available. Nothing is added to this queue while Usage Analytics is off, and the queue is removed by Delete All Data
Advertising Frequency and Timing Data (Local)
So that we can limit how often advertisements appear and reduce the risk of showing them at inappropriate moments, the App uses the following local information:
- Persistent on-device counters and dates, including the number of full-screen advertisements shown for applicable daily limits, the time the most recent one was shown, installation date, recent active days and app-open counts
- A simple activity tier that your device derives from those counters — for example, whether you are a new, occasional or frequent user of the App. It is recalculated on your device and is used only to decide how many full-screen advertisements may be shown and how far apart they must be
- Temporary in-memory session signals, including the current-session advertisement count, number of relevant screen transitions, time spent on an eligible screen and recent rapid back-navigation timing. These signals reset when the applicable session or process resets
- The timestamp of the most recent observed screen tap, held temporarily in memory and used to abort a pending full-screen advertisement when a tap has just occurred. The App does not record what you tapped, where you tapped or the content of the interaction
These App-managed advertising-frequency and timing signals, together with the activity tier derived from them, remain local. They are not transmitted off your device, are not uploaded to our own servers, and are not used to select or personalize the advertisements you see. This local pacing is separate from advertising interaction and measurement data processed by Google or an advertising provider after an ad request or impression.
Advertising Consent Information
Where an advertising consent form is required, your choices are managed by Google's User Messaging Platform and stored or otherwise processed by Google and on your device in accordance with Google's consent framework and privacy documentation.
Purchase Information
- Product purchased (single report or package)
- Number of reports included and used
- Apple transaction ID and product ID
- Purchase date
Advertising Data (Collected by Third Parties)
- Advertising identifier (IDFA) — only with your consent
- Device and app information (device type, OS version, app version)
- Ad interaction data (impressions, clicks, video completions, ad format and placement)
- Ad performance and revenue measurement data (the ad network that served an ad and the estimated revenue of an impression)
- Coarse location (country/region level)
Where required by law, the App does not release an advertising request until Google's User Messaging Platform reports that an ad request may be made. That status can reflect consent, a choice to receive limited or non-personalized advertising, or a determination that a consent form is not required. The data used for a particular request depends on your choices, device settings, applicable law, Google's configuration and the participating advertising provider.
Analytics Data (Collected by Firebase)
We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand app usage and measure purchases and advertising performance. Depending on SDK behavior, device settings and our event configuration, Firebase may collect or receive:
- Device and app information (model, OS version, screen size, app version, app-instance and other permitted device identifiers)
- App usage data (screens viewed, session duration, app opens, feature interactions)
- Purchase events (transaction amount, currency, product ID, Apple transaction ID and quantity — no payment card information)
- In-app events (points earned or spent, points balance, rewarded video completions and daily rewarded-video count). A points redemption may include an app-generated transaction reference used to prevent duplicate event reporting; it is not an Apple payment transaction ID
- Advertising performance events (ad impressions, ad format, ad placement, the ad network that served the ad, and the estimated revenue of an impression)
- Approximate location (country/region level based on IP address)
- Technical and app-lifecycle information made available by the Firebase Analytics SDK
Firebase Analytics collection is switched off when the App is installed. The App keeps collection off until Google's User Messaging Platform consent flow has completed, and in regions where a consent form is required it additionally waits until Google reports that requests may be made. The resulting choice is remembered for later launches. You can turn Firebase Analytics collection off at any time via Profile → Data Management → Usage Analytics; while it is off, the App neither sends analytics events nor stores them on your device for later retry. UMP controls advertising consent and whether the App releases advertising requests; ATT controls access to the IDFA for tracking.
- Firebase does NOT receive your personal financial information (income, debts, loan details) — this data remains stored on your device only
- The App does not send your saved-report name, saved-report notes, name, email address or phone number to Firebase. Do not put information in a saved-report name or note that you do not want stored locally or included in a report you choose to share
- Firebase Analytics data is pseudonymous: it is keyed to an app-instance identifier rather than to your name or contact details
- We do not send your financial inputs to Firebase or use those inputs to create advertising audiences
- Because Google provides both our analytics and advertising services, advertising and conversion events may be processed across AdMob, Firebase and connected Google services for measurement, attribution, reporting and optimization, subject to our service settings, your applicable choices and Google's privacy policy
- Where required, advertising requests and certain advertising-related processing are subject to your choices in Google's consent form. Firebase Analytics may process technical and usage data separately from AdMob advertising requests, as described in this Policy and subject to applicable law
Notification Information (Stored Locally)
If you grant notification permission, the App uses Apple's local notification system to schedule optional daily check-in and weekly checklist reminders on your device. We do not register the App for remote push notifications or send a push-notification device token to our servers.
- We do not provide account-registration or dedicated fields requesting your name, email address, phone number or street address. Information you voluntarily type into a saved-report name or note remains locally stored unless you choose to share the report
- Precise GPS location data
- Photos or media from your device
- Browsing history outside the App
System Permissions We Do Not Request
LoanPrep's own feature code does not request access to your contacts, photo library, camera, microphone, precise location, health data or Bluetooth, and does not perform local-network discovery or scanning. The only permissions the App may request are notification permission for local reminders and App Tracking Transparency permission for advertising, as described in this Policy. The App declares no other permission purpose strings. Any network behaviour of a third-party SDK is subject to that SDK's version, configuration and provider documentation.
How We Use Your Information
Your loan assessment inputs and core assessment processing remain local to your device. Other technical, purchase, analytics and advertising data may be processed by Apple or Google as described in this Policy. We use information to:
Provide Core Features
- Generate loan preparation assessment reports using automated analysis
- Create preparation checklists based on your inputs
- Track your progress and activities
- Manage points and daily check-in features
- Process rewarded video completions for points
- Store your preferences and settings
Fulfill Purchases
- Track available report credits
- Maintain the local purchase or redemption records currently needed to calculate unused report credits; records with no remaining credits are removed during local cleanup
- Verify entitlements for paid features
Display Advertisements
- Show banner advertisements, including collapsible banner formats, within the App
- Show native advertisements that are styled to match the surrounding content and are always labelled as advertising
- Display rewarded video advertisements (optional and user-initiated)
- Display interstitial (full-screen) advertisements at natural break points, such as when you leave a checklist detail page or close a history panel
- Show app open advertisements on launch or when returning to the App
Control How Often Advertisements Appear
- Limit the number of full-screen advertisements shown per session and per day
- Adjust those limits according to a simple activity tier that your device derives from how long the App has been installed and how often you have opened it recently, so that newer or occasional users see fewer full-screen advertisements
- Keep advertisements away from sensitive moments, such as while a purchase is being completed or while your assessment report is being generated and first delivered
- Avoid displaying a full-screen advertisement immediately after you tap the screen, to reduce accidental clicks
- Note: this processing happens entirely on your device. The activity tier and the counters behind it are not transmitted off your device, are not used to select or target the advertisements you see, and are not used to build an advertising or marketing profile of you
Analyze App Usage (via Firebase Analytics)
- Understand app opens, sessions and app-lifecycle or usage trends made available by Firebase Analytics
- Understand which features users find helpful
- Investigate product issues reflected in the analytics events described in this Policy
- Improve user experience based on aggregated usage patterns
- Measure business metrics (user retention, feature adoption)
- Note: This analysis primarily uses aggregated and pseudonymous data and is not associated by us with your name or contact information
- The current App does not integrate Firebase Crashlytics or Firebase Performance Monitoring and does not intentionally send crash reports, stack traces or custom performance traces through those products
- Note: this analysis only takes place while Usage Analytics is on. It is off until the advertising consent flow has completed and can be switched off at any time in Profile → Data Management
We do NOT use your personal financial information for:
- Advertising or marketing profiling
- Sharing with third parties
- Cross-app tracking of personal data
- Building personal profiles on external servers
Data Storage & Security
Local Storage
Your loan assessment inputs, assessment results, checklists and related financial information are stored within the App's local iOS sandbox using local persistence mechanisms such as UserDefaults and local files. We do not intentionally transmit these financial inputs to our advertising or analytics providers. Technical, usage, purchase, advertising and diagnostic data may be transmitted as separately described in this Policy.
User-Initiated PDF Export and Sharing
If you choose to export an assessment report, the App creates a PDF in the device's temporary storage and opens the iOS share sheet. The PDF may contain information from your assessment report. It is sent to an app, person or service only when you select a sharing destination. Your selected destination processes the PDF under its own privacy practices; review the destination before sharing sensitive information.
iCloud Backup
If you have iCloud Backup enabled, your iOS device may automatically backup LoanPrep data as part of your device backup. You can manage this in your iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Storage.
Security Measures
- We use iOS platform security features
- Data is protected by your device security (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID)
- We do not operate our own cloud database for your loan assessment inputs; Apple and Google process the limited categories described in this Policy through their services
- We review and update the App's security and privacy practices as appropriate
- Keep your device secure with a strong passcode
- Enable Face ID or Touch ID
- Keep iOS updated
- Be cautious when entering sensitive information
Your Privacy Rights
You have controls for specified locally stored app content and applicable advertising choices. Depending on your location, you may also have legal rights including:
Access & Control
- Access: View assessment, checklist, points and purchase-history content made available in the App's Profile and History sections
- Delete All Data: Remove the locally stored user profile, points history, assessment history, checklists, saved-report archives, the pending analytics-event queue and the on-device advertising-segment counters via Profile → Data Management → Delete All Data
- Saved reports: Delete individual saved-report archives from the applicable History screen, or remove all of them at once with Delete All Data
- Object to analytics: Switch off Profile → Data Management → Usage Analytics to stop Firebase Analytics collection on your device
- Requests: Contact us to ask about access, deletion or other rights that may apply to data under our control
- Correct: Change editable settings, reminder choices, region and checklist content directly in the App. Generated assessments and saved-report names or notes do not have a general edit control; where an individual delete control is available, you may delete the item and create a replacement, or use the applicable broader deletion control described above
The in-app Delete All Data control covers the categories listed above. It does not delete local purchase and report-entitlement records that still represent unused report credits, the advertising-frequency counters used to limit how often full-screen advertisements appear, app preferences such as appearance, region, currency and reminder settings, advertising consent records held by Google's consent framework, temporary files that may still be managed by iOS, data already processed by Apple or Google, or transaction records retained by those providers. Entitlement records and frequency counters are kept deliberately, so that deleting your data can neither remove content you have paid for nor reset the limits that protect you from excessive advertising. Deleting the App removes data in its local app container from the device through the normal iOS deletion process, but does not delete copies you previously shared, device backups, or provider-held records. You can change applicable advertising consent choices via Profile → Ad Privacy Options where that option is available.

Opting Out of Analytics and Advertising
Advertising and analytics use different controls and should not be treated as a single opt-out:
- Where Google reports that privacy options are required, Profile → Ad Privacy Options is shown and can be used to review or change the advertising choices offered by Google. The entry may not appear in other regions or before Google has determined its status
- If you decline App Tracking Transparency, the App will not access the IDFA for tracking. You may still receive contextual, limited or other advertisements selected using information permitted by your consent choices, device settings, applicable law and Google's advertising policies
- Your personal financial data is never sent to Firebase or to any advertising partner
- Profile → Data Management → Usage Analytics switches Firebase Analytics collection on or off on your device. While it is off, the App sends no analytics events and stores none for later retry. Collection also stays off until the advertising consent flow has completed, and is stopped if you withdraw consent through Ad Privacy Options
- You may still contact us with questions, objections or requests regarding analytics processing; the available rights and controls depend on applicable law and provider capabilities
Children's Privacy
LoanPrep is intended for adults aged 18 or older and is not directed to children or minors. The App does not operate an account system and does not independently verify a user's age. The optional assessment age-range choices begin at 18 and are not used in the eligibility calculation.
Our Commitment
- We do not knowingly collect personal information from children
- We do not market to children
- The app is designed for adult users preparing for loans
- Our advertising and consent configuration is intended for a general audience. We do not intentionally enable child-directed ad treatment, because the App is not intended for or directed to children
Parental Notice
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has used the App, remove applicable local content using the individual controls or Delete All Data control described in this Policy, delete the App if appropriate, and contact us at yumiao.dev@gmail.com regarding any information that may be under our control. Provider-held information is subject to the applicable provider's request procedures.
Users under 18 should not use the App. This is an audience restriction, not a representation that the App technically prevents underage access.
Advertising & Tracking
LoanPrep includes advertising features powered by Google AdMob.
Types of Advertisements
- Banner Ads: Displayed in designated areas of a screen. Some banners may first appear in an expanded (collapsible) form that you can collapse back to a standard banner.
- Native Ads: Advertisements styled to match the surrounding content. They are always labelled as advertising and are clearly distinguishable from our own content.
- Rewarded Video Ads: Entirely optional videos that you choose to watch in exchange for in-app points.
- Interstitial Ads: Full-screen advertisements shown only at natural break points — for example when you leave a checklist detail page, close a history panel, or exit a previously saved report. They are never shown while the App is starting up, while a purchase is in progress, while content is loading, or while your assessment report is being generated and first delivered to you.
- App Open Ads: May appear when the App is launched or when you return to it from the background. They are never shown on your first launch after installing the App.
Consent for Advertising (EU/EEA, UK, Switzerland and other applicable regions)
Where required by law, we use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to determine whether a consent form must be presented and whether advertising may be requested. Advertising requests are not released unless UMP indicates that they may be made. UMP's permission to request ads does not by itself mean that you accepted all advertising purposes; it may also permit limited or non-personalized advertising or indicate that a consent form is not required. The advertising SDK may be initialized before an advertising request is made, but requests remain subject to UMP's current request status.
- When a form is presented, you may make the choices it offers; declining optional advertising purposes does not prevent you from using the App
- Profile → Ad Privacy Options appears when Google reports that a privacy-options entry is required. When shown, you can use it to review or change the choices Google makes available
- This consent is separate from, and in addition to, Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt described below
How We Limit Advertising
To keep advertising from becoming intrusive, the App applies limits that are calculated entirely on your device:
- Daily and per-session limits on the number of full-screen advertisements
- A minimum interval between two full-screen advertisements, which widens the more advertisements you have already seen in a session
- No full-screen advertisement immediately after you tap the screen, to reduce accidental clicks
- No advertising during payment, during report generation, or on core report delivery screens
App Tracking Transparency (iOS 14+)
The App requests permission before accessing the IDFA or tracking your activity across apps and websites owned by other companies. Your choice affects whether the App may use the IDFA for tracking and personalized advertising.
- Allow Tracking: The IDFA may be used for tracking and personalized advertising, subject to your other consent choices and applicable law
- Ask App Not to Track: The App will not access the IDFA for tracking. You may still receive contextual, limited or other advertisements selected using information permitted by your consent choices, device settings, applicable law and Google's advertising policies
Change setting: iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → LoanPrep
Rewarded Video Ads
- Entirely optional and user-initiated — they are never shown automatically
- You earn in-app points for each video you watch to completion
- The reward amount, the daily viewing limit and the cooldown between videos are shown in the App and may be adjusted from time to time
- Points have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for money
- Deny tracking permission when prompted
- Review or change the App's tracking permission in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking
- Visit adssettings.google.com
App Store Privacy Labels
The categories below are a conservative summary of data that may be transmitted off the device by Apple, Google or their advertising partners in connection with the App. Whether provider-processed data is classified as linked, not linked or used for tracking depends on Apple's definitions, provider practices, identifiers available in a particular context and our current App Store Connect and provider settings; source code alone cannot guarantee every classification. Information that remains only in the App's local storage is described separately in the "Information We Collect" and "Data Storage & Security" sections. Consult the current App Store listing for the official privacy label.
Data Used to Track You
The following data may be used to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies, but only if you allow tracking through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt and, where applicable, consent through the advertising consent form:
- Identifiers (Advertising ID)
- Usage Data (Advertising interaction data such as impressions and clicks)
- Product Interaction (Ad views and ad engagement)
- Coarse Location (Country/region level)
Data That May Be Linked to You
- Purchases (Product IDs, Transaction IDs, Purchase history)
Data Generally Processed Without Direct Contact Details
- Usage Data (feature usage, screens viewed and app interactions processed by Firebase Analytics or advertising providers)
- Identifiers (app-instance and other permitted identifiers processed by the applicable provider)
- Product Interaction (In-app purchase events, feature usage patterns)
- Coarse Location (Country/region level, derived from IP address)
- Technical and app-lifecycle information made available by Firebase Analytics. The current App does not integrate Firebase Crashlytics or Firebase Performance Monitoring
- No account or dedicated contact-information fields are provided. A saved-report name or note may contain information you voluntarily enter, but the App does not intentionally transmit that free text to analytics or advertising providers
- Precise location data
- Contacts, photos, videos, audio
- Browsing history, search history
- Health & fitness data
Third-Party Advertising
Google AdMob may collect device identifiers, approximate location, ad interaction data, and ad performance and revenue measurement data across the banner, native, rewarded video, interstitial and app open formats used in the App, as described in Google's privacy policy. AdMob may also work with other advertising networks through mediation; those networks are subject to Google's partner requirements.
Legal Basis (GDPR)
For users in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland, the applicable legal basis depends on the specific processing activity, the information involved and applicable law. More than one basis may apply to different activities:
Consent
- For storing or accessing information on your device for advertising and measurement purposes, including for non-personalized advertising (obtained through the Google User Messaging Platform consent form)
- For advertising tracking (via App Tracking Transparency)
- For analytics and advertising performance measurement where consent is required by applicable law
- For receiving notifications
- You may withdraw applicable advertising consent via Profile → Ad Privacy Options where available, switch off Profile → Data Management → Usage Analytics, change device permissions in iOS Settings, or delete locally stored app content using the App's data controls
Contract Performance
- To fulfill in-app purchases you make
- To provide assessment reports you paid for
- To provide core App functions you request where processing is objectively necessary to perform our agreement with you
Legitimate Interests
- Operating and improving the app
- Processing limited technical and pseudonymous analytics data to understand app usage and lifecycle trends, where consent is not required by applicable law and where you have not switched Usage Analytics off
- Limiting how often advertisements are shown, using counters and an activity tier that are calculated and stored on your device only and are not used to select or target advertising
- Providing customer support
Legal Obligations
- To comply with applicable legal obligations or binding legal process concerning information under our control
Where processing relies on legitimate interests, you may have the right to object. Consent can be withdrawn only for processing based on consent, and withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out lawfully. A request may be subject to identity verification, legal exceptions, provider capabilities and the scope of information actually under our control.
