Privacy Policy
Effective Date: March 8, 2025
Brigid Scrolls (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Scrolls MD mobile application (the “App”) and the website BrigidScrolls.com (the “Site”).
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our App and Site.
By using Scrolls MD, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our App and Site.
1. Overview
Scrolls MD is designed as an offline educational app that provides medical exam preparation materials, including MCQs, mock tests, flashcards, and notes.
We do not collect, store, or process any personal user data through our App or Site.
However, certain limited data may be collected by third-party services integrated into the app, such as Google AdMob, which displays advertisements.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Personal Data
We do not directly collect, store, or request any personal information (such as your name, email address, or payment information).
All in-app purchases are processed securely through the Google Play Billing system, and we never have access to your billing or payment details.
2.2 Non-Personal Data
The App itself does not collect or analyze any user data. However, integrated third-party services (specifically Google AdMob) may automatically collect limited, non-personal information, such as:
Device identifiers (for ad delivery and fraud prevention)
Approximate location (for regional ad relevance)
App usage statistics related to ad impressions or clicks
This data is collected and processed directly by Google, not by Brigid Scrolls.
3. Third-Party Services
3.1 Google AdMob
Scrolls MD uses Google AdMob to display advertisements.
AdMob may collect limited information automatically to serve relevant ads and prevent fraudulent activity.
For details on how Google handles this data, please review:
Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
How Google uses data from apps: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
You can manage or opt out of personalized ads on your device:
Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization
iOS: Settings → Privacy → Tracking → Allow Apps to Request to Track
Brigid Scrolls has no access to or control over any data collected by AdMob.
4. How We Use Information
Since Scrolls MD does not collect personal information, we do not use your data for analytics, marketing, or tracking.
Any limited information collected by AdMob is used exclusively by Google for ad-serving, performance measurement, and fraud prevention.
5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), data collected by AdMob is processed by Google under the following legal bases:
Consent (for personalized ads)
Legitimate interest (for basic ad delivery and fraud detection)
Users may withdraw consent for personalized ads at any time using their device’s privacy settings.
6. POPIA Compliance (South Africa)
Brigid Scrolls adheres to the principles of the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), including:
Data minimization — the app collects no personal data.
Purpose limitation — any third-party data collection is used solely for advertising.
Transparency — we clearly identify our third-party service (Google AdMob).
If you have any concerns regarding data privacy, you may contact us directly (see Section 11).
7. Security of Your Information
The Scrolls MD app does not store or transmit personal data.
All purchases and advertisements are handled through secure third-party systems (Google Play Billing and AdMob) using encrypted communication channels.
Although we take reasonable steps to ensure the security of our app, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (under POPIA or GDPR), you may have the right to:
Request confirmation of whether we process any personal data (we do not).
Request correction or deletion of any personal data held by us (none is collected).
Withdraw consent for third-party data collection (via device settings).
Since Brigid Scrolls does not collect user data, most of these rights will apply to Google as the data processor for AdMob.
9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Scrolls MD app does not use cookies.
However, the BrigidScrolls.com website may use essential cookies for functionality and traffic analytics.
You can manage or disable cookies in your web browser at any time.
10. Children’s Privacy
Scrolls MD is intended for medical students and adult learners.
We do not knowingly collect or process data from children under 13 years of age (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions).
If you believe a child has provided data through third-party systems, please contact us immediately.
