How we handle your personal data
Who is responsible for your data
The controller of your personal data is the operator of this site:
- Name
- Vikas D.
The contact page explains what to include when you email us.
Our representative in the European Union
The operator of this site is based outside the European Union, so we have appointed a representative inside it under Article 27 of the GDPR. You or a data protection authority can write to the representative about data protection questions, as well as or instead of writing to us.
The name and contact details of the representative are on a separate page, which we keep out of search engines because they are personal details.

What we process
- Your cookie choice. When you accept or reject cookies, the site stores your choice and the date you made it in your browser, on this device only, so it can respect it. It is not sent to us.
- Analytics data. Google Analytics records details such as the pages viewed, the type of device and browser, the country or region of the visit and the page you came from. What it collects before and after you choose is set out under Analytics.
- Advertising data, once ads run on the site and only if you agree to advertising cookies. Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar identifiers to show ads, limit how often the same ad appears, measure ads and detect fraud. Ads on this site are set up not to be personalised.
- Contact messages. If you email us, we receive your email address, your message, anything you attach, and your name if your email account shows it.
- Server records. Our web server logs basic details of each request, such as the IP address, browser details, the page requested and the time.
We do not ask for your age, payment details or any account details, because there are no accounts. The only name we ever receive is one that comes with an email you send us.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to see which lessons and tests learners use and where pages go wrong, so we know what to fix. Nothing it collects is used to personalise ads.
Before you choose, and if you reject analytics:
- It runs in a cookieless mode. It does not set or read cookies and does not store an identifier for you on your device.
- Your IP address and browser details still reach Google, because every request a browser makes carries them.
- Google Analytics receives the page, the time, the page you came from and a random number for that page load, so visits can be counted in total.
Only after you accept analytics are these cookies set:
- _ga
- Google Analytics. Tells one browser from another across visits. Lasts 2 years.
- _ga_<id>
- Google Analytics. Keeps track of the current visit to this site. Lasts 2 years.
The Google page below explains what each cookie does and gives the two year lifetime for _ga and _ga_<id>.
To change your mind, use the Cookie settings link at the foot of any page. Turning analytics off returns Google Analytics to its cookieless mode and deletes the _ga and _ga_<id> cookies this site set in your browser. We ask again after six months.
The company that processes this data for us: Google Ireland Limited, for Google Analytics. Google privacy policy.

Who receives it
- Google Ireland Limited, for Google Analytics and advertising. Third parties, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser. How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
- Advertising partners, once ads run on the site, through a consent platform certified by Google under the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. Its consent panel will name each partner before you agree.
- Cloudflare, which runs the domain name system for the site. Page requests go straight to our web server, not through Cloudflare.
- Contabo GmbH, in Germany, which hosts our web server.
- Google, which provides the email service we use to receive and answer contact messages.
We never sell personal data.
Transfers outside the European Economic Area
Some of the providers above process data outside the European Economic Area, for example in the United States. Where that happens, the transfer must rely on a safeguard recognised by the GDPR, such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses.
Our web server is hosted in Germany, inside the European Economic Area. For Google, which can process data in the United States, the transfer relies on Google LLC certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, and on the standard contractual clauses in Google data processing terms.
How long we keep it
- Consent choices
- No longer than six months. After that the site asks you again, as the Data Protection Commission advises.
- Analytics cookies
- As listed under Analytics, and deleted from your browser when you turn analytics off.
- Analytics data
- Deleted automatically by Google Analytics at the end of the retention period set in our account, which is no longer than 14 months.
- Contact messages
- Until we have replied and dealt with any follow-up, then deleted.
- Server and security records
- Our web server keeps its access log for 14 days, then deletes it.

Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
- see the personal data we hold about you
- have it corrected if it is wrong
- have it deleted
- ask us to limit how we use it
- object to processing based on our legitimate interests
- receive data you gave us in a portable format
- withdraw consent at any time, using the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page, which takes no more steps than agreeing did
To use any of these rights, email us at avrdevelopers2017@gmail.com.
You can complain to the Data Protection Commission in Ireland, or to the data protection authority where you live or work.
Children and the age of consent
In Ireland the digital age of consent is 16. Below that age, under Article 8 of the GDPR, an online service that relies on consent needs a parent or guardian to give or authorise it. People can start preparing for the theory test before they reach that age.
Source: Irish Statute Book, Data Protection Act 2018, section 31, checked on 2026-09-15
This site does not ask your age and has no accounts. Every part of it works if you refuse all optional cookies, and ads are set up not to be personalised.
Automated decisions
We make no decisions about you by automated means.
Do you have to give us data?
No. You can use the whole site without giving us any personal data beyond what every browser sends when it loads a page. If you email us, we use your email address only to reply.
Changes to this notice
When what we process changes, for example when a provider is added, this notice is updated before the change takes effect. The cookie policy changes at the same time.
