Last updated: May 2026

Independent Study Platform Disclaimer

BC Driving Test Practice is an independent study aid created to help learners prepare for the BC ICBC knowledge test. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to ICBC (Insurance Corporation of British Columbia) or the Government of British Columbia in any way. All questions are written by independent driving instructors and are based on publicly available BC driving laws and handbook information.

1. Who We Are

BC Driving Test Practice is an independent online study platform operated to help BC residents prepare for the ICBC knowledge test. Our contact email is info@bcdrivingtestpractice.ca.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • Account information: When you register, we collect your name and email address.
  • Practice data: We record which questions you answer, whether your answers are correct, and your session scores so we can show you your progress.
  • Anonymous usage data: For non-logged-in users, we generate an anonymous browser fingerprint (stored only in your browser's local storage) to track answer popularity across users. No personal information is attached to this fingerprint.
  • Technical data: Standard server logs including IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This is used for security and performance purposes only.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide you with personalised study progress tracking
  • To identify your weak areas and power the Challenge Bank feature
  • To send transactional emails about your account and study progress
  • To send optional newsletter tips and study reminders (only if you subscribe)
  • To send promotional content from driving schools and test preparation providers in British Columbia, including geo-targeted offers based on your selected ICBC test city
  • To improve our question bank and platform based on aggregate usage patterns
  • To investigate and respond to question reports submitted via the platform

We do not sell your personal information to any third party. When we send driving school promotions, those communications are sent by us — your email address is not shared with or disclosed to any driving school or sponsor.

3a. Promotional Emails from Driving Schools

We may use your email address and your selected ICBC test city to send you promotional offers, special rates, or information from local driving schools and test preparation service providers operating near your testing location. For example, if you selected Surrey as your ICBC test location, you may receive emails about driving schools in the Surrey area.

You can opt out of these promotional emails at any time:

Opting out of promotional emails will not affect your ability to receive account-related transactional emails.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process your data:

  • Supabase: Our database and authentication provider. Your email and progress data are stored on Supabase's servers. See Supabase Privacy Policy.
  • Stripe: Our payment processor. If you purchase a Pro plan or mock exam, your payment details are handled by Stripe. We do not store your card number. See Stripe Privacy Policy.
  • OpenAI: If you use the AI Study Assistant (Pro feature), your question context and messages are sent to OpenAI's API to generate responses. We do not send your name or email to OpenAI. See OpenAI Privacy Policy.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

We use browser local storage (not cookies) to save your practice settings and anonymous fingerprint. We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies. We do not use Google Analytics or any ad-tracking technologies.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days. Anonymous usage data (e.g., answer popularity counts) is not linked to your identity and may be retained indefinitely.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Opt out of newsletter emails at any time via the unsubscribe link

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@bcdrivingtestpractice.ca.

8. Security

We use industry-standard security practices including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure password hashing, and row-level security on our database. While we take reasonable precautions, no online service can guarantee complete security.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of significant changes by email. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
