Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 25, 2026
True North Prep is a free study aid for the Canadian Citizenship Test. We believe privacy should be simple: we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we collect as little as possible. This page explains what that means in plain language.
The short version
- We don't require an account, name, or email to use the site.
- Your practice results are stored on your own device, not on our servers.
- We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand general usage.
- We show ads to help cover hosting costs.
- We never sell your data.
Information we collect
Information you provide
None is required. True North Prep has no sign-up, login, or contact form. You can use every feature without telling us who you are.
Your practice results
Your quiz progress and best scores are saved locally in your browser using IndexedDB. This data lives on your device only— it is never transmitted to or stored by us. Clearing your browser's site data removes it permanently.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics tools may collect standard technical information such as your approximate region, device and browser type, pages visited, and referring site. This is used in aggregate to keep the site running and to understand what content is helpful.
Cookies and analytics
We use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to measure general traffic and usage trends. These services may set cookies or similar identifiers. We use this only to improve the site — never to build advertising profiles that we sell.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
Advertising
To keep True North Prep free, some pages display ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other websites. You can manage your ad personalization preferences through Google Ads Settings. For more on how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see Google's policy.
Donations
Donations are handled entirely off-site by Stripe. We never see or store your payment details. Any information you provide during a donation is governed by Stripe's own privacy policy.
How we use information
We use the limited information described above only to:
- operate, maintain, and improve the website;
- understand which study content is most useful;
- display ads that help fund free hosting; and
- keep the site secure and working correctly.
We do not sell or share your personal information for money.
Children's privacy
True North Prep is intended for a general audience preparing for the citizenship test and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices
- Use the site without providing any personal details.
- Clear your local results anytime via your browser settings.
- Block cookies or opt out of analytics and ad personalization.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
