Erenay Kaya, doing business as "PekiBook" ("I," "me," or "my"), is committed to protecting the privacy of users. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, store, and share your personal information when you use my learning app.

1. Information I Collect
- Personal Information: I collect your name, email address, and any data you provide when using my app.
- Activity Data: I track your interactions within the app, such as quiz scores, time spent on lessons, feature usage patterns, and leaderboard rankings.
- Advertising Data: Third-party services such as Google AdMob may collect information, including device identifiers, location data, and interaction data to provide ads.
- Potential Data: This Privacy Policy will be updated to reflect new data collection practices, if any.

2. How I Use Your Information
- To provide and personalize your experience on the app.
- To improve my educational content and features.
- To maintain the leaderboard and ensure a competitive environment.
- To display advertisements through third-party services such as Google AdMob.
- To enforce app rules, including banning users for misuse.

3. Advertising and Data Sharing
My app uses Google AdMob or similar third-party services to display advertisements, which may be personalized based on your data. By continuing to use the app, you consent to this data being used for personalized ads by default.

If you prefer non-personalized ads, you can manage your preferences:
- Through your device settings.
- By visiting [Google Ad Settings](https://adssettings.google.com/).

Opting out of personalized ads will not affect your ability to use the app but may impact the relevance of ads displayed.

4. Ongoing Data Collection
By using this app, you consent to ongoing data collection practices as described in this Privacy Policy. This includes data collected by third-party services, such as Google AdMob, for purposes like personalized advertising. If you do not agree with these practices, you must cease using the app immediately and delete your data using the "delete all data" button available in the app.

5. Data Security
I take reasonable steps to protect your data and am continuously evaluating ways to enhance security measures. However, users should still exercise caution about the information they share on the app. I am not responsible for unauthorized access to your data.

6. Data Retention
I retain your data until you choose to delete it using the "delete all data" option available through the help button on the homepage. Upon deletion, your data will be permanently erased from my servers within a reasonable period, typically not exceeding 30 days.

7. Children's Privacy
This app is not intended for children under 13. If I become aware that a child under 13 has provided personal data without parental consent, I will delete it immediately. Advertisements shown in apps used by children will be contextual (non-personalized).

8. International Use
I strive to comply with privacy regulations applicable to my users, including GDPR and CCPA, within the technical and operational limitations of the app. You may be asked to consent to data collection for personalized advertising if required in your region.

9. Consent by Use
By continuing to use the app, you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your data as described in this Privacy Policy. Continued use of the app after updates to this Privacy Policy constitutes your agreement to the updated terms. Major changes will be highlighted in-app for existing users. If you do not agree with this policy, you should discontinue use of the app. You may withdraw your consent at any time by deleting all your data using the "delete all data" button or contacting me at shrike-serf0f@icloud.com.
