LaneWise: Privacy Policy

Effective date: 14 November 2026

This policy explains how the app LaneWise ("the app", formerly Pass Lane), a driving-theory practice app published by SUMAR_TECH ("we"), handles information. It covers the app on Android phones, tablets and Chromebooks, and the same app on our website (www.sumartech.com/lanewise).

What we collect

Nothing that identifies you. You don't need an account, and we don't ask for your name, email or phone number. Your progress (answers, scores, mock test results, streak, level and your settings such as country and language) is stored only on your device and is deleted when you uninstall the app. If Android's own backup is turned on for your Google account, Android may include this data in that backup. We run no servers of our own that receive it, and the app contains no analytics.

Advertising

If you haven't bought a Pass Pack, the app shows ads through Google AdMob: an occasional ad between practice sessions (never during a question, a mock test or a game), and optional ads you can choose to watch for an extra mock test. To serve and measure ads, Google may collect and process information such as your device's advertising ID, approximate location from your IP address, and how you interact with ads. See how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown. You can change your choice at any time in the app under Settings → Ad privacy choices. On Android you can also reset or delete your advertising ID under Settings → Google → Ads.

Purchases

The optional one-time purchases (a Pass Pack for a country, and the All-countries unlock) are handled entirely by Google Play. We never see your payment details. The app only learns whether your Google account owns them, so it can unlock them on your devices.

Reporting a question

If you tap "Report this question", the app opens your own email app with a message addressed to us that names the question, the app version and your language. Nothing is sent unless you choose to send that email. If you do, we receive your email address and what you wrote, and use them only to check and fix the question.

Read aloud

Reading questions aloud uses the text-to-speech engine already on your phone. The text is handled by that engine on your device under its own terms; we receive nothing.

The website version

On the website your progress and settings are kept only in your browser's own storage on your device; clearing your browser data deletes them. The website shows no ads, sets no tracking cookies and contains no analytics. It is hosted on GitHub Pages, which, like any web host, receives your IP address to deliver the page (see GitHub's privacy statement). Buttons to "Get it on Google Play" open Google Play, which then handles your visit under Google's terms.

Unofficial app

LaneWise is an unofficial study aid. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government, traffic police or driving-licensing authority.

Children

The app is meant for learner drivers and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Security

Ad and purchase traffic from the app travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS).

Changes

We may update this policy. Changes are posted on this page with a new effective date.
