01Who we are
PermitPath is a product of SKO Software Inc. (“we”, “us” or “our”). This policy describes how information is handled by the PermitPath iPhone and iPad app, our support service and this website at permitpath.skosoftware.com.
For privacy questions or requests, email support@skosoftware.com.
02Your study records stay on your device
PermitPath does not require an account. The app stores the information you enter and the study activity you create in local app storage, including:
- Your optional first name, daily study goal and exam date.
- The selected exam and separate study records for each track.
- Notes, highlights, bookmarks, reading progress and review schedules.
- Answers, practice results, saved mock sessions and daily-plan completion.
- Recent study-session times and activity used to personalise reminders.
- Reading preferences, reminder preferences and guided-tour state.
The app does not send these records to an app server, advertising network or analytics provider. There are no advertisements or third-party app analytics in this version.
Local records remain until you change them, replace them through a restore or delete the app. Offloading an app can preserve its data. Your device’s backup settings, including iCloud Backup, may include app data; Apple manages those backups under your settings. PermitPath does not provide its own cloud-sync service.
03Subscriptions and Apple purchase information
Subscriptions and introductory trials are processed by Apple through the App Store using your Apple Account. Apple handles payment details, billing and refunds under Apple’s privacy policy. We do not receive your payment-card information.
The app uses StoreKit to read and verify Apple-signed purchase information on your device, including product and transaction identifiers, subscription dates, trial eligibility and access status. This determines whether study features are available. PermitPath does not send these transactions or your study records to an app server. A study backup does not contain or transfer subscription access.
Apple may provide us with sales and subscription reports through App Store Connect. If you contact support about a purchase, we receive the information you choose to share in that conversation. Do not send card details or Apple Account passwords. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription or delete records held by Apple; manage these through Apple.
04Reminders and read-aloud
Study reminders use local iOS notifications. iOS asks you to allow notifications, and you can change permission in your device’s settings. In PermitPath, you can use Smart timing, choose a fixed time and study days, or turn reminders off.
Smart timing uses recent study-session times saved on this device. Reminder scheduling does not send your study information to a notification server. Your device controls whether and where an alert appears, including on the lock screen.
Read-aloud uses the device’s built-in speech service. iOS manages voice availability and any voice downloads.
05Backups, sharing and external links
When you export a study backup, you choose where to save or share it using the system file or sharing controls. The file can contain personal information such as your name, notes, results and study-session times across every exam track. Protect the file and share it only with destinations you trust.
Study exports do not include device reminder preferences, notification permission or guided-tour state. Restoring a study backup replaces the app’s study records across tracks; the app retains a recovery copy of the previous local save. Files you exported and device backups are managed separately from the app.
Sharing a question or issue report is also your choice. The app does not automatically send a report to us. If you follow an external link, that website’s privacy practices apply. Opening our support or privacy pages makes a website request as described below.
06Information you send to support
If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include, such as your name, message and attachments. We use it to respond, investigate problems and handle privacy requests. Please share only what is needed; a full study backup is usually unnecessary.
Our email service providers process correspondence to deliver and store it. Support records are kept for as long as needed to handle the request, retain relevant support history and meet applicable obligations. You can ask us about access, correction or deletion by emailing support@skosoftware.com. We may need to confirm that the request concerns your information, and explain any information we need to retain.
07Visiting this website
This website uses Cloudflare for hosting and security. When a page is requested, Cloudflare processes technical connection and request information, such as IP addresses and traffic data, to deliver and protect the website. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for its handling of service data.
We do not add advertising trackers, analytics scripts, embedded third-party media or marketing cookies to these pages. Cloudflare may use security features that process additional technical signals or set necessary security cookies. This website has no account, newsletter signup or support form; its email links open your chosen email app.
Hosting and email providers may process information outside your province or country, where different privacy laws may apply. Technical service data follows the relevant provider’s retention practices and configuration.
08Your choices and privacy requests
You can edit study details, manage notes, change reminders and export your study records in the app. To remove local app records, delete the app; separately remove any exported files or backups you no longer want. Export a copy first if you want to keep your progress.
Because we do not receive your local study records, we cannot retrieve or delete them remotely. Contact us about information you have sent to support, questions about this website or any other privacy concern. Depending on where you live, applicable law may give you rights to access, correct, delete or object to certain uses of personal information.
We do not sell personal information or use it for advertising. We may disclose information where required by law or as necessary to address abuse, security incidents or protect legal rights.
09Updates to this policy
We may update this policy when the app or our services change. The date above identifies the latest revision. Material changes will be explained with the updated policy and, where appropriate, in the app.
