IQClimb Privacy Policy
Effective September 25, 2026 · Android
Strongware LLC publishes IQClimb. The Android app does not require a IQClimb account, access contacts or photos, or request location permission.
Assessment, profile, and training data
Your nickname, handle, assessment results, category scores, training progress, lesson statistics, streak, achievements, ranking visibility choice, and preferences are stored on your device. IQClimb does not send this information to a Strongware account server. Android may back up this data if device backup is enabled.
Local comparison rankings
Leaderboard entries other than your profile are built-in comparison examples. Choosing Public places your nickname and score among those examples on your device. Choosing Private excludes your profile. IQClimb does not publish or transmit your profile or score to other users.
Advertising
The free app uses Google AdMob for banner ads and occasional interstitial ads between completed training sessions. Ads do not interrupt an active assessment or question. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may process IP addresses that indicate approximate location, app and ad interactions, diagnostics, and device identifiers for advertising, measurement, and fraud prevention. SDK data is encrypted in transit.
IQClimb requests non-personalized ads. Where required, Google's User Messaging Platform presents privacy choices before ads are requested. Available choices can be reopened from Settings. Android also provides advertising ID controls. IQClimb Premium removes ads.
Analytics (Android)
The Google Play edition of IQClimb uses Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the app is used and how our advertising performs. It records events such as app opens, sessions, screens viewed, ad impressions (including the ad revenue Google reports) and in-app purchases, linked to a randomly generated app-instance ID and your device’s advertising ID. Google derives approximate location from your IP address. Where consent is required (the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), the choice you make in the privacy message also controls analytics storage. Analytics data is shared with our linked Google Ads account only to measure and improve our own ad campaigns.
IQClimb Premium
Google Play handles the optional monthly subscription and restoration. IQClimb receives product prices, purchase tokens, and purchase status to unlock Premium and acknowledge payment. Strongware does not receive payment-card details.
Complimentary access
A reviewer or promotional access code can activate the same Premium entitlement without payment. Validation happens on the device. The app stores an activation flag rather than the code. Complimentary access can be removed in Settings.
Support and choices
If you email support, Strongware receives the information you choose to send and uses it to answer the request. You can use the assessment and training offline, change your local ranking choice, adjust available ad privacy choices, restore Premium with the purchasing Google Play account, and remove local app data in Android settings. Contact support@strongware.dev with questions.
Children
IQClimb is intended for a general audience aged 13 and older and is not directed to children under 13.
