Zirek (زیرەک) is a study app that helps Grade 12 students prepare for their ministry exams. This page explains what the app collects, why, who can see it, and how you can delete it.
What we collect
When you open the app. An account is created for your device without asking for your name. With it we store a device identifier, the device type (Android or iOS) and the app version.
What you choose to fill in. Your name, branch (science or literary), province, school and daily study goal. All of these are optional.
Signing in with Google or Apple. If you choose to, we receive your email address and your account identifier from that company, so your progress follows you to other devices. We never see your password.
Your studying. Answers, attempts, scores, progress in each subject, levels and stars, coins, your daily streak, saved questions and notes.
Buying PRO. The plan, the amount, the order reference, the payment method, the transfer number and a screenshot of the transfer. A WhatsApp number only if you give one, so we can reach you if something goes wrong.
Notifications. A push token, so we can send you notifications.
Technical data. Your IP address is used briefly to protect the service from abuse and stays in our server logs for a short time.
What we do not collect
- The app has no ads and no advertising trackers.
- We do not collect your location.
- We do not access your contacts.
- We do not access your photos, except the one image you pick yourself as proof of payment.
Why we use it
- To run the app and save your progress.
- To rank you on the national and provincial leaderboards.
- To check payments and activate PRO.
- To send notifications, such as study reminders and app news.
- To protect the app from cheating and abuse.
- To improve the content, using totals such as which questions students most often get wrong.
Who can see it
Other students see only your name, points and rank on the leaderboard.
The Zirek team sees what it needs for support and to review payments. Payment screenshots are kept in private storage and only the people who review payments can open them.
Companies that provide the service:
- Cloudflare: servers, database and file storage.
- Google Firebase Cloud Messaging: delivering notifications.
- Google and Apple: sign-in, only if you choose it.
We do not sell your data or share it for advertising.
How we protect it
- All traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted (HTTPS).
- Your sign-in keys are kept in your device's secure storage.
- Our servers run on Cloudflare's network and may be outside Iraq.
How long we keep it
For as long as your account exists. When you delete it, your name, school, phone number, email and push token are deleted. Leaderboard points and payment records stay, without your name. The account deletion page has the details.
Subjects you download for offline study stay on your device until you uninstall the app.
Your choices and rights
- See and edit your profile in the app.
- Delete your account in the app: Profile (هەژمارم) → Devices (ئامێرەکان) → Delete account (سڕینەوەی هەژمار).
- Turn notifications off in your phone's settings.
- Ask for a copy of your data, or ask any question, by email: info@zirak-kurd.com.
Age
Zirek is made for Grade 12 students, most of whom are 15 to 18 years old. It is not meant for children under 13. If you are a parent and think your child has given us information, email us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page and announce important changes in the app. See also our terms of use.
