This policy explains what Capital Quest collects about you, why, and what you can do about it. Max Linsky is the developer of the App and is responsible for the data described here.
The short version: we collect what the App needs to teach you and to keep your progress safe across devices. We do not run ads, we do not track you across other apps and websites, and we do not sell your data to anyone.
Account information. When you sign in with Apple, with Google, or with an email address and password, we receive an account identifier and, in most cases, an email address. If you use Sign in with Apple and choose to hide your address, we only ever see Apple’s private relay address. We also store a display name if one is provided.
Your learning data. This is the bulk of it, and it is what makes the App work: lessons and case studies you have completed, quiz answers and scores, Capital, cash, salary, rank, badges, streaks and daily activity, your flashcards and their review schedule, and the state of your Office and wardrobe.
Your plan. The answers you give during onboarding — your goals, how familiar you already are with the material, how many minutes a day you want to study, and what time you would like a reminder — plus the study plan we derive from them.
A first name and an age range, if you choose to give them at the end of onboarding. Both are optional and neither changes what the App teaches you: the name is what appears at the top of your profile, and the age range only ever tells us, in aggregate, who is learning here. You can change or clear the name at any time under Profile → Account.
Subscription status. Whether your account is free or Premium, which product was purchased, and when it expires. We never see or store your card details, and no payment information passes through the App.
Diagnostics. If error reporting is enabled in a build, a crash or a handled error sends us the error itself, a short trail of what happened just before it, and technical details about the device: model, operating-system version, and app version. It is tagged with your account identifier so we can tell one person’s crash from a hundred people’s, and nothing else about you is attached.
Support correspondence. If you email us, we keep the message and our reply.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on these grounds under the GDPR:
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We use a small number of service providers, who process data only on our instructions:
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect our rights or someone’s safety, or as part of a merger or sale of the App — in which case we will tell you before your data moves, and this policy will continue to apply until you are given a new one.
Reminders and the daily term are scheduled on your device by the App itself. There is no push server: the notifications are composed and queued locally, and nothing about them is sent to us.
You control them in two places — inside the App under Profile → Notifications, and in your device’s Settings, which can switch them off entirely.
Some data is stored on your device: your progress, your plan, your flashcards, and your sign-in session are all kept in the App’s private storage so the App works offline and opens instantly.
The same data is copied to our servers so it can follow you to another device. Our service providers operate in the United States, so if you are outside the United States your information is transferred there. Where those transfers are subject to EEA or UK law, they are made under the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or another approved mechanism.
When you sign out or switch accounts, the App wipes the previous account’s data from the device.
We keep your account and learning data for as long as your account exists. Delete your account and it is deleted from our database, along with your profile, progress, flashcards, plan, and entitlement record.
Two things outlive that: crash reports, which are retained for a limited period by our error-reporting provider and are not linked to your account once it is gone; and records we are legally required to keep, such as records of a transaction, which Apple also holds independently of us.
Backups are cycled out on their own schedule, so a copy may persist briefly after deletion before it is overwritten.
Traffic between the App and our servers is encrypted in transit. Every table that holds your data is protected by row-level security, so a request can only ever read or write rows belonging to the account making it — one person’s progress cannot be read by another, and the entitlement record can only be written by our server, never by an app.
Your sign-in session is held in the App’s private storage area, which other apps on your device cannot read.
No system is perfectly secure. If a breach ever affects your personal data, we will tell you and the relevant regulator as the law requires.
Wherever you live, you can:
To exercise any of these, use the controls in the App or write to maxelanlinsky@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days. We do not charge for this, and we will never treat you differently for asking.
If you are in the EEA or the UK you may also complain to your local data-protection authority. If you are in California, you have the rights above under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete, and correct, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them — and we confirm again that we do not sell or share your personal information as those terms are defined there.
Capital Quest is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
If you believe a child under 13 — or under 16, in the EEA and the UK — has given us personal information, write to maxelanlinsky@gmail.com and we will delete the account and its data.
If we change what we collect or what we do with it, we will update this policy and change the date at the top. For a material change we will give you notice in the App before it takes effect.
The current version always lives under Profile → Legal.
