Privacy Policy

IRT Open Book does not collect your information. There are no accounts and no developer-operated servers. Everything you enter stays on your device — and, if you are signed in to iCloud, in your own private iCloud account so it carries between your devices. The developer never sees it.

What the app collects

IRT Open Book stores only what you enter and what you do in the app, and it stores it on your device. That is your candidate details — rank, name, and service number — along with the answers you select, which sections you have completed, and how long you spend on each question.

The app asks for no system permissions. It does not use the camera, the photo library, your location, your contacts, or the microphone, so there is nothing to grant and nothing to decline.

There are no accounts, no sign-in, and no developer-operated servers.

What leaves your device

Your progress, to your own iCloud account — and nothing else, to nobody else.

Every exam question and every chart is bundled inside the app, so it works with no signal at all. The app itself contains no networking code: it fetches nothing, and it never sends anything to the developer or to any third party. There is no server of ours for it to send anything to.

What it does do is ask iOS to sync your saved progress — your candidate details, your answers and your timings — to your own private iCloud account, so it carries between your devices. Apple's systems carry that copy on your behalf; it is held under Apple's iCloud terms and your Apple ID settings, and the developer has no access to it. If you are not signed in to iCloud, nothing leaves the device at all: the app saves locally only, and the home screen tells you which of the two is in effect.

The PDF completion report is generated on your device. You choose whether to share it, and where it goes — nothing is sent automatically.

Third parties

None. IRT Open Book contains no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking, and it includes no third-party code of any kind. It sends nothing to any service, the developer's included. The only thing it hands off is your progress to Apple's iCloud, into your own account, described above.

Deleting your data

Reset all data, on the app's home screen, erases your candidate details, every answer, and every attempt — both on the device and in the copy held in your iCloud account. Deleting the app removes the copy on that device.

Children

IRT Open Book is intended for adult aircrew of the Canadian Armed Forces. It is not directed at children, and it collects no information from anyone.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the effective date at the top of this page changes with it. There is no mailing list; the version posted here is always the current one.

Not an official government application

IRT Open Book is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official application of the Department of National Defence or the Canadian Armed Forces. The exam content is governed by the DICP; the app is a study aid and is not a substitute for the published material or for the direction of your chain of command.
