Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This policy explains what personal data we process when you use the DMV Permit Test Trainer website at https://permittesttrainer.com/. In short: we log every visit with your full IP address, your browser and your clicks and delete this log after 14 days. What you enter and submit at checkout is also kept for 14 days. Card details are never sent to us. Google ad measurement and personalized advertising run only if you agree.

We are based in Germany, so the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to everything described here, wherever you are.

1. Controller

Digital Service GmbH

Represented by its managing director, Thomas Andreas Mücke. See also our Imprint.

2. Hosting and server logs

This website runs on a server we rent from netcup GmbH (Karlsruhe, Germany). When pages are requested, the web server writes entries to its access log: your IP address, date and time, the requested address, the status code, the amount of data transferred, the referring page and your browser’s identification string. Technical errors can also create an entry in the error log, which may contain your IP address.

We need these logs to deliver the website, find errors and fend off attacks. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure, working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The logs are deleted after 14 days at the latest.

3. Our own visit and click log (no cookies)

In addition to the server log, we keep our own log of how the website is used. It runs for all visitors, without consent and without cookies. When a page is requested, our server writes an entry. In addition, a small script in your browser sends messages to our server: when the page opens, when you leave or hide the page and when you click buttons and links. For this, the script reads the information listed below from your browser. Without JavaScript, this information is not sent.

We store:

This log stores nothing on your device.

The purpose is to measure demand for the trainer, to see which ads and content lead to it, to improve the website and to recognize automated access. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in these purposes (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). You can object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (section 9).

The log is stored on the same server outside the publicly accessible area. Each daily file is deleted after 14 days.

3a. Visit counter of evenkeelstudio.com (no cookies, no IP address)

The trainer comes from our product studio Even Keel Studio, whose website evenkeelstudio.com counts visits to all of its product pages in a separate, cookie-free counter on the same server. When this page opens and when you click a buy button, your browser sends this counter: the product page, the button position, an ad click identifier from the address (gclid, gbraid or wbraid) if present, the host name of the referring page, and a test flag. The server adds the time, your browser language and the device type (mobile or desktop) and marks automated requests. Your IP address is not stored in this counter. Ad click identifiers are removed after 90 days. Legal basis is our legitimate interest in measuring demand (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); you can object under section 9.

3b. What you enter at checkout

When you complete step 1 of checkout and choose “Continue to payment”, we store: first and last name, email address, the state you chose, the price, the place you came to checkout from, the time spent on the form, a random identifier of this checkout, the way it was submitted and the automated-or-test flag, plus time, IP address, user agent, browser language and session identifier. When you choose the final payment button in step 2, we additionally store the payment method and the card information described in section 3 (which fields were filled in and the card network).

Card numbers, expiration dates, security codes and the name on the card are never sent to our server. These fields stay in your browser. We do not connect to a payment provider and we do not process PayPal credentials.

The purpose is to process your order, that is, the steps before a possible contract that you initiate by submitting (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). At the moment no order can be completed through checkout; you then see the message on the page and are not charged. We also analyze the stored entries to measure demand for the trainer and to understand which payment methods and states are requested. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in this analysis (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); you can object under section 9.

The entries are kept in a separate daily file on our server outside the publicly accessible area. They are not passed on to Google or to anyone else. We do not send anything to these addresses automatically. Each daily file is deleted after 14 days. To limit mass submissions we count submissions per IP address and day; for this we store only a value calculated from the address and delete it the next day. After 20 entries per IP address and day we store no further entries.

4. Google Ads: conversion measurement, remarketing and personalized ads (only with your consent)

We advertise the trainer on Google and want to measure which ads lead to clicks on the final payment button. While we use this service, a banner appears on your first visit. Measurement is off by default. Only if you choose “Accept” does your browser load the Google tag (gtag.js) from Google servers. Google then sets cookies on your device, creates entries in your browser’s local storage (_gcl_ls, containing the ad click identifier, for up to 90 days) and receives information such as your IP address, the page visited, the ad click identifier and the fact that the final payment button was clicked. Google does not receive what you enter at checkout.

With your consent we also use the service for remarketing and personalized advertising: Google can add you to audience lists based on these cookies and data so that we can show you ads for this trainer on Google and Google partner sites. Google determines how long it keeps this data. If there is no “Cookie settings” button at the bottom of the page, the service is not active.

The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission adopted an adequacy decision on July 10, 2023 (Art. 45 GDPR). More on how Google uses data: policies.google.com/privacy.

The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act, TDDDG). You can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future using “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page. When you withdraw, the page removes these cookies and entries from your device. If you decline, Google receives nothing from us; our own log from section 3 continues.

We remember your decision in your browser’s local storage under the key “pt-consent” so that we don’t ask again on every page. This is necessary to respect your decision (Section 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG).

5. Fonts

All fonts are served from our own server. Your browser does not connect to a font provider.

6. Contact by email

If you write to us, we process your email address and message to reply (Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR). We delete them once the matter is settled, unless a statutory retention obligation applies.

7. Recipients

Apart from our hosting provider (section 2) and, only with your consent, Google (section 4), we do not pass on your data unless we are legally required to.

8. Obligation to provide data

You are not legally or contractually obliged to provide data. We need the required checkout fields to process an order; without them checkout cannot be submitted. Without transmitting your IP address the website cannot be delivered. The information sent by the script is not sent if you disable JavaScript; the website content remains readable.

9. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right of access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to withdraw consent (Art. 7(3)). Where we rely on legitimate interests, you can object on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21). Write to info@online-infektionsschutzbelehrung.de.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Baden-Württemberg (Landesbeauftragter für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Baden-Württemberg), Heilbronner Straße 35, 70191 Stuttgart, Germany.

10. No automated decisions

We do not make automated decisions within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. The audience lists from section 4 are created only with your consent and only decide which ads you see.

11. Children

The trainer is meant for people preparing for a learner’s permit, which in some states is possible from age 14 or 15. If you are under 16, please ask a parent or guardian before buying. A parent or guardian can ask us at any time to delete a minor’s data (section 9).
