Privacy policy

Summary

• No account is needed. The app does not ask for your name, email address or phone number.
• Your study progress is stored on your device (and in your Android backup, if you use one).
• 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 results, test history, scores by category, settings and reminder preferences are stored in the app's private storage on your device so the app can show your progress. For questions you got wrong, the app also stores the question, the answer you chose and the correct answer, so you can review your mistakes. 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 optional. If you turn them on and allow notifications, the app schedules them on your device. We do not send push messages from a server. You can turn reminders off in the app or in Android settings.

Analytics (Google Firebase Analytics)

The app uses Firebase Analytics, provided by Google. 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.

Firebase records app sessions, screen views, first opens and app updates by itself, and records in-app purchases automatically, including the product, price and currency. The app also records app opens; finishing onboarding; starting a test (with the number of questions); for each answer, the question number and whether it was correct; finishing a test (with the score and the number of questions); viewing the premium screen and where it was shown; starting or completing a purchase, with the product; whether restoring a purchase succeeded; and content loading errors. Events do not include the text of questions or 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; it is not used for advertising, and you can delete or reset it in Android settings under Privacy > Ads.

Where Firebase processes data

Firebase processes this data on Google servers, which may be outside the United Kingdom. Google relies on the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and on standard data protection clauses approved for UK transfers. 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

The app does not send email. If you email us, we use your email address and message only to reply and to fix the issue.

Why we use this data (legal bases)

• Analytics: our legitimate interest in understanding how the app is used, finding errors and improving the questions and screens (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). Analytics is not used for advertising or profiling.
• Purchases and restoring premium access: to perform our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)).
• Emails: our legitimate interest in answering you and correcting content (Article 6(1)(f)).

Sharing

We share data only with the service providers named above (Google Firebase and Google Play) and the provider that hosts our email, 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 event data is kept for 2 months and user-level analytics data for 14 months; the user-level period restarts when new activity arrives. Support 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.

Deleting your data

To delete the study data on your device, uninstall the app or clear its storage in Android settings (Apps > UK DVSA Car Theory Test 2026 > Storage). To ask us to delete data we hold, such as your emails, email support@mydrivingtest.net with the subject "Delete my data". Analytics data is not linked to your name and is deleted automatically at the end of the period above.

Your choices and rights

You can stop analytics collection at any time by uninstalling the app; a new install starts with new identifiers. Under the UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its use, and to data portability. Email support@mydrivingtest.net to use these rights. You can object at any time to analytics based on our legitimate interests; email us, or uninstall the app to stop it immediately. 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 complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

Children

The app is a study tool for people preparing for the DVSA car theory test, which can be taken from age 17 (or from 16 for people who get the higher rate of the mobility part of Personal Independence Payment). It is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

Changes

This policy describes version 1.1.0 of the app. We will update this page when the app's data use changes, and change the date above.
