Your privacy is critically important to us. At PassTheRoad, we are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how we use it. This policy explains what information we gather and how it is protected.
1. Information We Collect
Because PassTheRoad is a self-service quiz platform, we prioritize minimal data collection.
A. Non-Personal Data (Automatically Collected)
When you use our website, we automatically collect information sent by your browser to help us understand how people use our quizzes. This information is anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally.
- Usage Data: Includes pages visited, time spent on pages, quizzes taken, quiz scores (pass/fail), and referral sources (e.g., if you came from Google Search).
- Technical Data: Includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, and device type (mobile/desktop).
B. Personal Data (Submitted by You)
We only collect Personal Data if you voluntarily provide it to us:
- Email Address: Required if you choose to create an account, save your progress, or subscribe to our newsletter for study tips.
- Username/Progress: If you use an account to save your scores, we store your quiz history and progress to allow you to resume studying later.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- To provide the Service: To let you take quizzes, track your progress, and deliver a personalized learning experience (e.g., showing you questions you got wrong previously).
- To Improve Our Content: To analyze which quizzes are the most difficult and identify areas where we need to add more study explanations or update content.
- Marketing and Communication: If you subscribe to our list, we use your email to send you relevant driving theory updates, study guides, and news about the site.
3. Data Storage and Security
- Your personal data (email and saved progress) is stored securely. We take reasonable measures to protect your information against unauthorized access or disclosure.
- We use encryption and secure server connections for data transmission where applicable.
4. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing
We use third-party tools to operate and maintain our service.
- Analytics (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and usage patterns. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics is governed by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
- Advertising: As a free service, we may display advertisements powered by third-party networks (e.g., Google AdSense). These partners may use cookies to display ads relevant to your interests, but we do not share personally identifiable information with them.
- Quiz Plugin Data: If you save your quiz scores, this data is stored in our database (e.g., via a WordPress quiz plugin) solely for the purpose of tracking your performance.
5. Cookies Policy
We use “cookies” to collect information and improve your experience. Cookies are small data files stored on your device.
- Essential Cookies: Necessary for the website to function (e.g., keeping you logged in if you have an account, or remembering your quiz settings).
- Performance Cookies: Used by Google Analytics to help us count visits and traffic sources.
You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some parts of our site may not function properly.
