Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2, 2026
The short version
G1 Pass helps you study for the Ontario G1 test. To keep the app working well and fix what's confusing, we look at how it's used, including session recordings of your visit. We never record what you type into form fields, and we don't record the sign-in, sign-up or security pages. If you create an account, with an email and password or with your Google account, we also save your name, email, and practice progress so you can pick up where you left off. If you practise as a guest, we hold your answers temporarily so we can show your progress during your visit, and if you then sign up, we move them onto your new account instead of throwing them away. Rather we didn't? Turn it off in "Cookies and your choice" below. We don't sell your data, and you can ask us to see or delete it anytime.
What we collect
We keep this to what helps us run and improve G1 Pass:
- Anonymized usage data. Pages and questions you open, taps, time on a page, and general device and browser type. This helps us see where people get stuck and close gaps in the content.
- Session recordings. A replay of your visit, so we can see where the app trips people up and fix it. Three limits always apply: we don't record anything you type into a form field, we don't record the sign-in, sign-up, password or security pages, and we don't touch your camera, microphone, or anything outside the G1 Pass tab.
- Practice activity. The questions you answer, your scores, and which ones you get wrong, so we can show your progress and improve weak spots in our questions. This applies whether or not you have an account; see "Practising without an account" below.
- Account details. If you sign up, the name and email you give us, plus the date you agreed to this policy. If you use the Google button instead, Google gives us that name and email, and we also keep the id Google uses for your account so we can recognize you next time. See "Signing in with Google" below.
- Error and diagnostic logs. Technical details when something breaks, so we can fix bugs.
You can practise as a guest without an account. We do not ask for any payment information, and we don't collect sensitive personal information.
Practising without an account
You never need an account to practise. When you answer questions as a guest, we keep those answers in your session, a temporary store on our server, tied to the standard session cookie your browser already uses to visit the site. We do this so we can show you your progress, mastery, and weak topics while you study.
Guest practice is not linked to your identity. There's no account attached to it, and we don't know your name or email. It's temporary by design: it expires on its own after a period of inactivity, and you can throw it away at any time by clearing your cookies.
Practising as a guest still includes the session recordings described above, tagged with a random id kept in your browser so we can tell one visit from the next. That id isn't your name and we can't turn it back into you, though it does let us follow a visit across pages. If you'd rather we didn't, you can turn it off in "Cookies and your choice" below, and we'll stop straight away.
If you later create an account or log in, we move that practice onto your account so your work isn't lost, and from then on it's treated like any other account data described above. If you never sign up, it simply expires.
Signing in with Google
You can make your account, or sign in, with the Google button instead of a password. It's optional. An email and password works exactly the same.
We never see your Google password. You type it on Google's own page, and Google just tells us the sign-in worked.
We ask Google for three things: your name, your email address, and confirmation that the address really is yours. Google also sends a link to your profile picture, which we don't store. We keep the name and email, the same as if you had typed them into our sign-up form, plus the id number Google uses for your account, so we can recognize you the next time you press the button.
We don't get your Gmail, your contacts, your calendar, or your files, and we can't post or send anything as you. Google, for their part, will know you use G1 Pass, and their own privacy policy covers what they do with that. You can disconnect us anytime from your Google account's security settings.
If your Google email already has a G1 Pass account, we connect the two instead of making a second one, so your practice stays in one place. Pressing the button is how you agree to this policy and our Terms, the same as ticking the box on the sign-up form.
How we use it
- Run the app and remember your progress if you have an account.
- Understand how people study so we can improve questions, explanations, and the experience.
- Find and fix bugs, and keep the service secure.
- Reply to you if you contact us.
What we don't do
We don't sell your personal information, and we don't share it for advertising. We use trusted service providers (for example, hosting, analytics, and sign-in) only to run G1 Pass, and only with the data they need to do that job.
Keeping your data and your choices
We keep account data for as long as you have an account, and usage data only as long as it's useful for improving the app. To stop us using your data to improve the app, use the switch above, and that takes effect immediately. To see, correct, or delete your information, contact us and we'll take care of it.
Children
G1 Pass is meant for people preparing for the Ontario G1 test. It isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
Changes to this policy
If we make meaningful changes, we'll update this page and the "last updated" date above. Please check back from time to time.
