Amerie makes privacy simple: no account, no sign-in, and your citizenship-preparation records stay on your iPhone.

1. Get Started Without an Account

Open Amerie and tap Get Started. You do not need to provide your email address or create an online profile to use the preparation features.

2. Your Preparation Data Stays on Your iPhone

Civics study history, bookmarks, eligibility guidance, your citizenship path, checklists, interview progress, and saved mock results are designed to stay on your device, not in an Amerie preparation database.

Your progress does not automatically move to a new device or restore from an Amerie cloud account.

3. Control Microphone and Speech Permissions

Speaking Practice and Full Mock may ask for Microphone and Speech Recognition permissions. You can choose whether to allow these through iOS Settings.

Current interview speaking responses are recognized and graded on-device. If on-device recognition is unavailable, Amerie does not silently switch to cloud recognition.

4. Delete Your Preparation Data

Open Profile → Your Data → Delete Preparation Data. Confirm to erase local Amerie preparation data and associated local secure information. You cannot restore this data from an Amerie account or cloud backup.

5. Protect Amerie with iPhone Security

For additional privacy, you can use iOS 18’s built-in app-locking feature. On your Home Screen, touch and hold the Amerie icon, then select Require Face ID (or the device authentication option shown by iOS). Depending on your device, you may also be able to hide the app.

This feature belongs to iOS, not an Amerie account. It is optional and is controlled by you.

6. Choose What to Enter

Only enter details you are comfortable keeping on your device. For demonstration or practice, you can use example information when a real personal answer is not necessary.

If you email support, avoid including passwords, identification numbers, or unnecessary immigration details.

7. Visiting the Website and Using Resources

The Amerie website is hosted by Google Sites and the domain is managed through Cloudflare. Those services and linked resources may collect ordinary technical connection information. Amerie may also download public civics updates from GitHub Pages; that is separate from uploading your individual preparation history.

8. Understand Legal Requests

Amerie generally cannot produce a backend copy of your sensitive local preparation records because it does not maintain one. However, this does not prevent lawful access to information on a device or to records held by a separate website, email, or platform provider.
