Privacy Policy

NZ Road Test Practice · Effective date: 9 November 2026 · Publisher: VNET LIMITED

NZ Road Test Practice ("the app") is a driving test practice simulator. It has no account or sign-in. The only information it collects is anonymous usage statistics, described below, which you can turn off.

Information we collect

The app sends anonymous usage statistics so we can see how the app is used and improve it:

• a random ID created when the app is installed (it is not your advertising ID, device serial number, phone number or email address);
• when the app is opened and closed, and for how long it was used;
• which features are used (for example mock test or free drive), when the tutorial is finished, and mock test results (pass or fail, error counts, duration and the practice area);
• the app version and platform.

We do not collect your name, contact details, location, driving track, camera images or anything else that directly identifies you, and we do not link these statistics to an account. As with any internet request, the receiving server sees your device's IP address. Raw events are kept for 13 months. We do not sell this information or use it for advertising.

The app shows a short notice the first time it starts and only begins collecting after that.

Your choice. You can turn this off at any time in Settings under Usage stats. The app then stops sending statistics and deletes the random ID and any unsent statistics from your device.

Information stored on your device

The app saves your settings (for example language, steering assist and Auto Hold), your last position on the map and your practice results on your device only. You can remove them at any time by clearing the app's data or uninstalling the app.

Camera (optional head tracking)

If you turn on the optional head-tracking feature, the app uses the front camera to estimate which way your head is turned (for mirror and over-the-shoulder checks). Camera frames are processed in real time on your device and immediately discarded. They are never recorded, stored or transmitted. You can turn the feature off at any time, and you can deny or revoke camera permission in your device settings; the rest of the app works without it.

Internet access and downloads

The app works offline. It uses the internet for three optional things only:

• Usage statistics. As described above. If they cannot be sent, the app works normally.
• Live weather. About every 30 minutes the app asks MET Norway (the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, api.met.no) for the weather forecast at one fixed point in central Auckland, so the sky and rain in the app can match the real weather. The request contains no information about you and never includes your location. As with any internet request, MET Norway's servers see your device's IP address. You can switch weather to a manual choice in Settings.
• HD ground imagery. If you choose to download it, it is delivered by the app store (Google Play or the Apple App Store) under that store's own privacy policy.

No information that directly identifies you is sent to us.

Children

The app is intended for learner drivers aged 16 and over and is not directed at children.

Third-party data

Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL). Aerial imagery, elevation and building outlines are sourced from the LINZ Data Service and licensed for reuse under the CC BY 4.0 licence. These are map datasets built into the app; they contain no information about you. Live weather is based on data from MET Norway, licensed under CC BY 4.0, simplified for the driving scene.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the effective date above.
