Privacy policy
Last updated: 2026-11-09. Drafted from FINE-PRINT.md. Placeholders stay in place until the brand, domain, and contact email are set.
Who we are
Chapbook is a free practice test website at trychapbook.com. We are a private company. We are not a government agency, and we are not connected to any department of motor vehicles, to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or to any state or county agency. Questions about this policy: [email protected].
The short version
You do not need an account to use this site. We do not ask for your name, your address, your licence number, your permit number, or any government document. Your answers and your scores stay in your browser. We do not receive them, and we cannot see them. Please do not send us a licence number, a Social Security number, or a photo of a government document. We do not need it and we do not want it.
What we collect
Usage data from analytics: pages visited, time on a page, the type of device and browser, the state or country the visit came from, and the test a visitor started or finished. Analytics tools may set cookies and use a device identifier to count visits and returning visitors. We use this to see which tests people use and which questions people miss, so we can fix weak questions. Advertising data: our ad partners may set cookies and use similar tools to show ads, to limit how often the same ad appears, and to measure how ads perform. In some cases ads are matched to a visitor's interests, and the cookies page explains those choices and how to turn them off. Messages you send us: if you write to us, or if you use the report a wrong answer button on a test, we get what you send: your email address if you give one, and the text of your message. A wrong answer report also tells us which question you were looking at. It does not include your name or your other answers.
What we do not collect
No accounts, so no passwords. No payment details, the site is free. No licence, permit, certificate, or application numbers. No test scores on our servers. No information about immigration status. No precise location.
Children and teens
Many of our visitors are 15, 16, or 17 and are preparing for a first driving permit. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13. We do not sell personal information about visitors under 18, and we do not use a teenager's activity on this site to build an advertising profile. If you are a parent or guardian and you think a child under 13 has sent us personal information, write to [email protected] and we will delete it.
How we use what we collect
To run the site, to count visits, to find and fix wrong answers, to show and measure advertising, to answer messages, and to meet a legal duty if one applies. We do not use your information to decide anything about you. Nothing on this site affects a licence, a permit, a card, an application, or a government record.
Who we share it with
The companies that provide our analytics and our advertising, and only so they can do that work: [analytics provider], [ad network and partners]. We may share information if the law requires it, or to protect the site from abuse. We do not sell your personal information for money. Some privacy laws use the word share for advertising cookies that match ads to interests. Where that reading applies, you can opt out on the cookies page, and we treat the opt out as applying to selling and sharing both.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information a business holds about you, to ask for a copy, to ask for a correction, to ask for deletion, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of your information or of targeted advertising. States with laws of this kind include California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and others, and the list changes. To use any of these rights, write to [email protected]. Because we hold very little, most requests will be about cookies and advertising identifiers. We will answer within the time the law in your state allows, and we will tell you if we cannot confirm your identity with what we hold. You will not be charged, and you will not get a worse service for asking. You can also block or clear cookies in your browser at any time. The tests will still work, and your saved progress on that device will be lost. We treat a global privacy control signal as an opt out of sale and sharing for that browser.
How long we keep it
Analytics records are kept for [14 months]. Messages and wrong answer reports are kept for up to two years, so we can see if a question keeps being reported. After that they are deleted.
Security, changes, contact
We use encrypted connections and standard safeguards for a site of this kind. No website can promise perfect security, and we do not promise it. The strongest protection here is the design: we do not hold your scores, your documents, or your payment details. If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will change the date at the top and note what changed. Contact: Chapbook, [email protected].
