Effective 23 October 2026
Who we are
BECE Past Questions ("the app") is made by ZeilaTech, based in Ghana. This policy explains what information the app collects, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have. If you have a question, email hello@zeilatech.com.
You can use the app without an account
Past questions, quizzes, mock papers, downloads, news and examiner's reports all work without signing in. An account is only needed to save points across devices, appear on the leaderboard, set a profile photo, keep checker cards you buy, and keep the BECE 2027 Pass on every phone you use.
What we collect
If you create an account
- Sign-in details: your email address and name. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive the name and email that service shares with us. With Sign in with Apple you can choose to hide your email; we then receive a private relay address.
- Profile photo, if you add one.
- Study progress: points, streaks and quiz results, so they follow you between devices.
When you use the app
- Progress on your phone: answers, downloaded papers and settings are stored on your device. Guest progress stays on the device and is not sent to us.
- Notifications: if you allow notifications, a push token so we can send study reminders and news.
- App usage and diagnostics: which screens and features are used, app version, device model and operating system, and crash reports. We use this to fix problems and improve the app.
- Advertising: the app shows ads from Google AdMob. AdMob may use your device's advertising identifier, IP address and general device information to show and measure ads. On iPhone, the advertising identifier is only used if you allow tracking when the app asks; otherwise you see ads that are not based on tracking. Where the law requires it, the app asks for your consent before showing personalised ads, and you can change this later in Settings.
If you buy the BECE 2027 Pass
On iPhone, Apple handles the payment through your Apple ID; on Android, Paystack handles it by mobile money. We never see your card or mobile money PIN. We receive a record of the purchase (what you bought, when, and its transaction ID) and keep it with your account, so your Pass works on any phone you sign in on.
If you buy a checker card (Android)
Payments are handled by Paystack. You give Paystack your mobile money number, name and email to complete the payment. We receive a confirmation of the payment, not your mobile money PIN. We keep a record of the card you bought so you can see it again.
If you contact us
Your email address and whatever you include in your message. Support emails written from the app include your user ID so we can find your account.
What other users can see
If you are signed in and earn points, your display name, profile photo and points appear on the leaderboard, where other users can see them. Do not use your full name or a photo you would not want others to see. You can report or block another user from the leaderboard, and you can delete your account at any time to remove yourself.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. We use these service providers, who process data on our behalf:
| Provider | What for |
|---|---|
| Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Messaging, Analytics, Crashlytics, In-App Messaging) | Accounts, saved progress, notifications, usage statistics and crash reports |
| Google AdMob | Showing and measuring ads |
| Sentry | Error and crash reports |
| Mixpanel | Usage statistics |
| Cloudflare | Storing profile photos |
| Supabase | Serving mock papers |
| Paystack (Android) | Processing checker card and Pass payments |
| Apple App Store (iPhone) | Processing Pass payments |
| Apple and Google sign-in | Signing you in, if you choose them |
We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of our users.
Students and children
The app is made for students preparing for the BECE, most of whom are 13 to 16. Users must be at least 13. If you are under 18, please use the app with your parent or guardian's permission. Signing in is optional, so a student can study without giving us any personal information. A parent or guardian can ask us to delete a child's account by emailing hello@zeilatech.com.
How long we keep information
We keep account information until you delete your account. Usage statistics and crash reports are kept by our providers for a limited time (usually up to 14 months for analytics and 90 days for crash reports) and are then deleted.
Deleting your account
In the app, go to Settings → Account → Delete account. This deletes your account, your saved points and streaks and your leaderboard entry, and your profile photo no longer appears anywhere in the app. To have the stored photo file erased as well, email us and we will do it within 30 days. You can also email hello@zeilatech.com and we will delete it for you. Progress saved only on your phone is removed when you delete the app.
Records of checker cards and Passes bought are kept, without your name, as financial records.
Your rights
Under Ghana's Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843), and similar laws where you live, you can ask to see the information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. Email hello@zeilatech.com. You can turn off notifications and ad tracking in your phone's settings at any time.
Security
Information is sent over encrypted connections, and access to our databases is restricted. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page, and for important changes we will tell you in the app.
