Privacy Policy for CC Bridge
Effective Date: November 14, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how CC Bridge: CA College Transfer ("we", "our", or "the App", Android package ID com.ccbridge.transfer) handles information when you use the mobile application.
1. Information We Collect & How It Is Stored
CC Bridge does not require you to create an account with us to browse colleges, build transfer plans, check live open course sections, or view professor ratings.
- On-Device Transfer Plans & Saved Items: Your selected community colleges, target universities, majors, completed course checkmarks, saved class sections, and 30-day Trash items are stored locally on your Android device.
- Optional Official Student Portal Sign-In: If you choose to use optional next-step portals (such as CVC enrollment, OpenCCC / CCCApply, UC Transfer Admission Planner, or CSAC WebGrants 4 Students), your sign-in credentials are submitted directly over encrypted HTTPS connections to the respective official institution or state portal. Passwords, verification codes, and financial-aid credentials are never stored on our servers and are masked from diagnostic recordings.
- Advertising Data & Device Identifiers: We use Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK) to display clearly labeled native advertisements. Google AdMob may automatically collect and share your device's Advertising ID, coarse IP-based location, ad impression/click events, and diagnostic data to serve, measure, and prevent fraud in advertisements in accordance with your device settings.
- Analytics, Crash Reporting & Diagnostics: We use Google Analytics for Firebase, Firebase Crashlytics, and PostHog Cloud to collect anonymous app usage events, crash stack traces, network reliability metrics, and masked UI diagnostics (with password and verification fields strictly masked) solely to fix portal compatibility issues and improve app stability.
2. How We Use Information
- To retrieve published California transfer articulation agreements, live open online course sections, and instructor ratings requested by you.
- To save your transfer plans, in-progress step selections, and 30-day Trash items locally on your device across app restarts.
- To display non-intrusive, clearly labeled native advertisements via Google AdMob.
- To detect crashes, measure app performance, and maintain compatibility with official California transfer portals.
3. Data Sharing & Third-Party Services
All network traffic transmitted by the App and integrated SDKs is encrypted in transit via HTTPS/TLS. Third-party service providers used by the App include:
4. Data Retention & Your Controls
- In-App Reset & Local Storage Deletion: You can tap Reset Saved Info inside the Transfer Plan menu at any time to clear saved portal sign-in IDs, or clear all local app data via Android Settings → Apps → CC Bridge → Storage → Clear Storage.
- Advertising Controls: You can reset or delete your Android Advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads at any time in Android Settings → Google → Ads.
- Data Deletion Inquiries: Because we do not maintain user accounts, we do not hold personal user profiles. For any privacy or diagnostic data deletion request, email us at abkhaan95@gmail.com.
5. Non-Affiliation Notice
CC Bridge is an independent educational planning companion and is not affiliated with or endorsed by ASSIST.org, CVC.edu, the California Community Colleges system, the University of California, the California State University, AICCU, or the California Student Aid Commission.
6. Children's Privacy
CC Bridge is designed for college and prospective college transfer students and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
