1Who we are and what this policy covers
RoadTest (roadtest.in) is a free educational website for RTO learner licence practice tests, traffic signs, traffic rules, RTO codes and traffic fine guides. RoadTest is a platform by ChambalFox, founded by Aarush Pal, and is operated from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India.
This Privacy Policy applies to the RoadTest website and all of its pages in every language. It explains how information is handled when you visit the site, take a practice test, read our pages or contact us. By using RoadTest you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
RoadTest is an independent platform. It is not a government website and is not connected with any RTO, transport department or the Parivahan portal. We never ask for your Aadhaar number, driving licence number, vehicle documents or payment details.
2Information we collect
The table below lists every kind of information involved when you use RoadTest, and where it is kept.
| Information | When it is collected | Where it is kept |
|---|---|---|
| Name and age | Only when you start a practice test and type them in the form shown before the test. | In your own browser (local storage or session storage). It is not sent to our server. |
| Test progress and results | While you take a test and when you finish it: answers, score, completed tests and the start and attempt records. | In your own browser only. Clearing site data removes it. |
| Theme choice | When you switch between light and dark mode. | In your own browser. |
| Cookie choice | When you accept, reject or customise cookies. | In a small cookie and in your browser storage. |
| Banner and install prompt choices | When you close the app install banner or install RoadTest as an app. | In your own browser. |
| Technical log data | Automatically, every time a page is requested: IP address, browser and device type, pages requested, date and time, and the referring page. | On our web hosting server, as standard server logs. |
| Emails you send us | Only when you write to us at our support or feedback email address. | In our email inbox. |
What we do not collect
- We do not run user accounts, passwords or logins.
- We do not collect payment details, because nothing on RoadTest is sold to you.
- We do not ask for government ID numbers, licence numbers, vehicle numbers or documents.
- We do not collect your precise location. RTO pages show office information that is the same for every visitor.
- We do not use fingerprinting or sell any profile of you.
3Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves in your browser. RoadTest also uses browser storage (local storage and session storage), which works in a similar way and stays in your browser. In this policy, "cookies" includes both unless we say otherwise.
Why we use them
- Strictly necessary: to remember your cookie choice and keep a visit working. These are always on.
- Preferences: to remember settings such as light or dark theme and your test details on your device.
- Analytics: to understand which pages and tests are useful, using anonymous statistics. Used only if you allow this category.
- Marketing: to show relevant ads and measure them. Used only if you allow this category.

PHPSESSID | Cookie, necessary | Session identifier that the server can set to keep one visit working. It does not identify you personally. | Until you close the browser |
rt-cookie-consent | Browser storage, necessary | A copy of your cookie choice, so the banner is not shown again. | Until cleared |
rt-theme | Browser storage, preference | Remembers your light or dark theme. | Until cleared |
rt-exam-user | Browser storage, preference | Name and age you entered before a practice test, so you are not asked each time. | Until cleared |
rt_completed_exams, rt_exam_results | Browser storage, preference | Which tests you completed and your scores, to show your progress. | Until cleared |

The language you read RoadTest in is part of the page address (for example /hi/ for Hindi), so it does not need a cookie.
Analytics and advertising cookies
At the time of the last update, RoadTest does not load any analytics or advertising cookie from a third party. If we add such a tool in future, it will load only after you allow the matching category, we will list its cookies in the table above, and we will update this page.
Sponsored banners shown on RoadTest are plain images and links. Loading such an image can reveal your IP address and browser details to the server that hosts it (see the section on third parties).
How to control cookies
- Use the banner shown on your first visit to accept all, reject non-essential cookies or customise.
- Change your decision at any time on the Cookie Settings page.
- Delete cookies and site data from your browser settings. RoadTest then asks for your choice again, and your saved theme, test details and progress are removed.
- Block cookies in your browser. The site still works, but your theme, test details and progress may not be remembered, and some parts of a test may not work.
Strictly necessary items cannot be switched off from our banner because the site depends on them.
4How we use information
- To run the site, show pages and let practice tests work.
- To remember your settings, such as theme and test progress, on your device.
- To keep the site secure, find faults and prevent misuse.
- To understand which pages are useful and improve them, only with your consent where analytics cookies are involved.
- To reply when you write to us, and to fix content errors you report.
- To follow the law and respond to valid legal requests.
We do not use your information to make automated decisions about you, and we do not use it for profiling.
5Third-party services on the site
Some parts of RoadTest load from other companies. When your browser fetches them, that company receives technical data such as your IP address and browser type, and may apply its own privacy policy.
| Service | Used for | Data they can receive |
|---|---|---|
| Google Fonts | Loading website fonts. | IP address, browser and device details, page request. |
| Cloudflare cdnjs | Loading Font Awesome icons. | IP address, browser and device details, page request. |
| Sponsored banner hosts | Showing the sponsored banner images, if one is active. | IP address, browser and device details, page request. |
| Official and external websites | Links such as Parivahan or state transport sites. | Whatever you do on those sites. They are outside our control. |
We choose these services carefully, but we are not responsible for how external websites handle your information. Please read their policies before you share anything with them.
6Sharing of information
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We may share limited technical information only in these cases:
- With our web hosting and email providers, who process data for us to keep the site running.
- With the third-party services listed above, as part of loading the page.
- With authorities or courts, when the law requires it or to protect our rights, users or the public.
7Security and how long we keep data
RoadTest is served over HTTPS and we use reasonable technical measures to protect the site. No website can promise perfect security, so please use the site with that in mind.
- Data in your browser stays until you clear it or delete the cookie or storage item. Test details never leave your device.
- Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting, then deleted or anonymised.
- Emails are kept as long as needed to answer you and keep a record of the conversation.
8Your rights and choices
Under Indian law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you have rights over your personal data. In practice on RoadTest you can:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you, if any, and ask us to correct or delete it.
- Withdraw your cookie consent at any time on the Cookie Settings page.
- Delete your name, age and test history yourself by clearing site data in your browser.
- Make a complaint about how your information is handled.
To use these rights, email us from the address you want us to look up. We may need to confirm that the request is genuinely yours before we act on it.
9Children
RoadTest is made for people preparing for a licence and for road safety learners. Younger visitors should use the site with the guidance of a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children on our servers. The name and age typed before a test stay in the browser of the device being used. If you believe a child has sent us personal information by email, tell us and we will delete it.
10Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the site, the law or our cookie use changes. The version published on this page is always the current one. When we make a significant change, such as adding analytics or advertising cookies, we will ask for your consent again through the cookie banner.
