Privacy policy

Summary

• No account is needed. The app does not ask for your name, email address or phone number.
• Your study progress stays on your device.
• We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand how the app is used. We do not use analytics data for advertising.
• Google Play handles payments. We never see your card details.
• The app shows no ads. We do not sell personal data, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

Data on your device

Your answers, results, saved mistakes, study language, settings and reminder preferences are stored in the app's private storage on your device so the app can show your progress. Removing the app deletes this data. If Android backup is turned on for your Google account, Android may include this app data in your device backup.

Study reminders are scheduled on your device after you allow notifications. We do not send push messages from a server. You can turn reminders off in the app or in Android settings.

Analytics (Google Firebase)

The app uses Firebase Analytics, provided by Google LLC. It receives an app instance identifier, a Firebase installation identifier, device model, Android version, app version, language, approximate location (city, region and country) derived from your IP address, the Google Play install source (how you found the app), and events about how the app is used. Google does not store your IP address in Analytics.

Events include app opens, sessions and screen views; finishing onboarding; starting and finishing practice and mock tests (with the number of questions, the number correct and whether the test was passed); the number of options selected for an answer; viewing the premium screen and where it was shown; opening the app from a link; content loading errors; and starting, completing, restoring or failing to restore a purchase, with the plan type. Firebase also records in-app purchases automatically, including the product, price and currency. We also record your study language setting. Events do not include the text of your answers.

The app removes the advertising ID permission and sets Firebase ad storage, ad user data and ad personalisation to denied. On Android 12L and earlier, Android lets apps read the advertising ID without that permission, so Firebase may receive it there; you can delete or reset it in Android settings under Privacy > Ads. Firebase processes this data on Google servers, which may be outside Canada. See Firebase privacy information and Google's privacy policy.

Purchases (Google Play)

Premium plans are bought through Google Play Billing. Google processes the payment under its own terms and privacy policy. The app asks Google Play which plans you own so it can unlock premium content and restore it on a new device. We receive the order details Google Play shares with developers, such as the order ID, product and purchase date, but never your card details.

Email and question reports

If you email us, or use "Report Question" in the app, your own mail app sends the message. "Report Question" addresses it to our question-report mailbox and fills in the question number and study language. We use your email address and message only to reply and to fix the question.

Sharing

We share data only with the service providers named above (Google Firebase and Google Play) so they can provide their services to us, or when the law requires it. We do not sell or rent personal data.

Retention and security

Analytics data is kept for at most 14 months, the longest period Google Analytics allows for this data. Support and question-report emails are deleted within 12 months after the request is handled. Data sent to Google is encrypted in transit (TLS). Access to analytics data is limited to our Firebase project, and data on your device stays in the app's private storage.

Your choices and rights

You can stop analytics collection at any time by uninstalling the app; a new install starts with new identifiers. You can contact us at support@mydrivingtest.net with privacy questions or to ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of data we hold about you. Because the app has no account, we usually cannot link analytics records to a person; for purchases, a Google Play order ID helps us find the record. You can also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta.

Children

The app is a study tool for people preparing for the Alberta Class 7 learner's knowledge test, which is open from age 14. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes

We will update this page when the app's data use changes, and change the date above.
