Electrical Engineer - PassRun — Privacy Policy

Effective date: 18 August 2026 (first effective 4 August 2026)

"전기기사산업기사 필기 - 패스런" (the "App") is a study app for Korea's national Electrical Engineer (전기기사) and Electrical Industrial Engineer (전기산업기사) written exams. The developer takes your privacy seriously and complies with the Korean Personal Information Protection Act and other applicable laws. This policy explains what information the App collects and how it is used.

App name전기기사산업기사 필기 - 패스런
Package name (Android) / Bundle ID (iOS)kr.passrun.electriceng

1. No sign-up · Where your study records are stored

The App has no sign-up or login. It does not ask for personal information such as your name, email address or phone number in order to study.

※ Separately from the study records above, anonymous usage statistics that cannot identify you are collected and transmitted as described in §4-1.

2. Personal data collected when you send a training-centre inquiry

The following data is collected only if you write and send an inquiry on the "Training" screen. If you do not send an inquiry, no personal data is collected.

ItemDetails
Collected (required) Name, phone number, inquiry type, message
Collected (optional) Email address, preferred region
Sent together Anonymous identifier issued by the App (see §3), app package name and version, operating system (Android/iOS), submission time
MethodEntered directly by you in the in-app form and submitted
PurposeReplying to inquiries about practical-exam courses, state-funded training and job placement; checking and fixing reported question errors
RetentionDestroyed immediately once the consultation is completed. This matches the notice shown on the in-app consent screen.
ConsentYou tick the consent checkbox before the inquiry is sent

You may decline to consent. In that case only the inquiry feature is unavailable; every study feature continues to work normally.

If saving the inquiry fails (for example due to a network error), the App offers to open your device's mail app so you can send the same content to the support address below. In that case you decide whether to actually send it.

3. About the anonymous identifier

When an inquiry is sent, the App obtains a random identifier (UID) through anonymous sign-in with Google Firebase Authentication.

4. Information collected automatically by the advertising service

The App shows Google AdMob ads (bottom banner, interstitial after grading, native ads in list screens, and an app-open ad on launch). In this process Google may automatically collect and process the following data to serve ads and prevent fraud.

This data is collected and processed directly by Google; the developer only sees aggregated ad performance reports from which individuals cannot be identified. For details, see:

Your choice about personalised ads

The App asks on first launch whether to allow personalised ads (default: allow). You can change it at any time in Settings → Personalized ads.

ChoiceWhat happens
Allow (default) Ads are matched to your interests using an advertising identifier. On iOS the App then asks for App Tracking Transparency (ATT) permission.
Don't allow Ad requests are sent flagged as non-personalized. Ads still appear, but without interest-based matching, and the iOS ATT prompt is not shown.

Study and mock-exam features work identically either way. You can also limit personalised ads in your device settings (Android: Settings → Google → Ads / iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking). On iOS, if you do not allow tracking the App does not access the IDFA and non-personalised ads are shown.

The anonymous usage statistics the App collects are described separately in §4-1 below.

4-1. Anonymous usage statistics for service quality

To improve question quality and app features, the App collects the anonymous information below and sends it to Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore) and to PostHog. It contains nothing that identifies you personally, and the study records in §1 are never transmitted.

ItemDetails
Collected Anonymous identifier (the UID in §3 — randomly issued, not linked to an account or name)
App usage events (screen views, study and mock-exam progress, ad impressions/clicks, etc.)
Per-question correct/incorrect counts (which questions are missed most often)
App package name, operating system (Android/iOS), timestamp
PurposeAnalysing question errors and difficulty, funnel and retention analysis, feature improvement
RetentionUntil the statistical purpose is achieved (kept in a form that cannot identify individuals)

This anonymous collection is always on and the App has no switch to turn it off. Because only non-identifying information is collected, this notice takes the place of a separate consent step. If you want the collection or the transfer stopped, contact us at the address in §12; every study feature keeps working either way.

5. Outsourcing of data processing

The developer entrusts processing as follows in order to receive inquiries and serve ads.

ProcessorEntrusted work
Google LLC (Firebase Authentication) Issuing an anonymous identifier to distinguish inquiry authors
Google LLC (Cloud Firestore) Storing and managing training-centre inquiries
Google LLC (AdMob) Serving in-app ads and measuring ad performance

Processors handle the information only within the scope of the entrusted purpose.

6. Transfer of personal data overseas

7. Provision to third parties

The developer does not sell or provide your personal data to third parties. However, if you request to be connected with a training centre, the minimum information necessary for the consultation may be passed to that institution after separately informing you and obtaining your consent.
