Privacy for both app editions

Your learning data, explained

Your ordinary practice and progress stay on this device. If an EDU activity is assigned through Apple Schoolwork, Apple may share that assignment's results with the teacher.

Effective date:

Ordinary use stays local

Practice and progress are not sent to EFX.

Schoolwork is limited

Only assigned EDU activities may share results through Apple.

No account or tracking

No account, advertising, cross-app tracking, or sale of personal data.

What is the short answer?

Regular app

Your practice attempts and progress stay on the device.

EDU Adult-Guided Learning

Learners, assignments, sessions, and progress also stay local.

Apple Schoolwork

Only an assigned EDU activity may report its results through Apple.

Neither edition requires an account. A learner does not need to give EFX Technical Solutions LLC an email address or create an online profile to use the apps.

On this device

Where is my progress stored?

Ordinary practice is stored on the device. If you use Adult-Guided Learning in the EDU edition, its records are stored there too. Depending on what you use, local learning data can include:

  • learner nicknames
  • assignments and sessions
  • practice and quiz attempts
  • progress and checkpoints
  • workspace settings and preferences

The app does not send these local records to EFX. Adults and schools should still use non-sensitive learner nicknames and manage the device appropriately.

Important

Will my progress move to another device?

No. Progress is not restored after reinstalling or moving devices.

Local learning data is not included in device backups. Reinstalling the app or moving to another device does not restore that data.

Because the app does not send local learning records to EFX, EFX cannot recover or transfer them for you.

Your controls

How can I delete my learning data?

Use the control that matches what you want to remove:

  • Reset Progress
  • Delete one learner
  • Delete All Learning Data
  • Uninstall the app to remove the app's data from that device

EFX cannot delete local learning data remotely because the app does not send that data to EFX.

Optional feature

What do reminders share?

Assignment reminders are scheduled on the device. Their wording is generic and does not include a learner name or assignment title. They are not sent to the device as remote push notifications from EFX.

You can turn reminders off by changing notification permission in iOS Settings.

EDU edition only

What can a teacher see in Apple Schoolwork?

This applies only when a school enables Apple's Student Progress feature and a teacher assigns an activity from Map Study: United States (EDU) through Schoolwork. For that assigned activity, Apple may show the teacher:

  • whether the activity was completed;
  • time spent on the activity; and
  • a quiz score when the activity has a meaningful score.

Puzzle reports completion and time, but not a quiz score. Ordinary practice and other work that was not assigned through Schoolwork stay local and are not intentionally reported as Schoolwork progress.

Adult and Learner choices inside Map Study organize the local workspace. They are not Apple accounts, and they do not verify that someone is a teacher or student.

Concise privacy facts

Does Map Study use ads, tracking, analytics, or crash reporting?

  • The apps do not include advertising.
  • The apps do not track you across apps or websites.
  • The apps do not send analytics or crash diagnostics to EFX.
  • EFX does not sell personal data.

Other services

What about purchases, links, and support?

Apple handles App Store purchases and payment details. EFX does not receive your payment-card details. Apple handles App Store information and any Schoolwork information under Apple's own terms and privacy practices.

If you follow an external link, the destination's privacy policy applies. You can review Apple's Privacy Policy.

If you contact support, EFX receives the message, contact details, and other information you choose to send so it can respond and provide support. That correspondence is separate from learning data kept on the device.

Provider and policy updates

Who provides the apps, and how can I ask a privacy question?

Map Study: United States and Map Study: United States (EDU) are provided by EFX Technical Solutions LLC. If this policy changes, this page will show a new effective date.
