Privacy at VeiMester

In short

VeiMester shows no ads on the site. Visits are counted on the server without cookies – just a date, a page address and a number. The one non-essential script is Google’s tag for Google Ads and Google Analytics, which measures whether our ads work and how the site is used: if you press “Accept”, Google sets cookies, and if you press “No thanks”, we don’t set them.

Everything we store about you exists because a feature you use needs it, and everything is deleted when you delete your account – with one bookkeeping exception described at the end.

What we store about an account

The account details you provide at signup: email address, name, phone, address, post code and city. Your password is never stored in clear text. If you sign in with Google, no password is needed.

Sign-in: the time, your IP address and which browser you use, so you stay signed in and the account page can show signed-in devices.

Your progress: mock-exam and sign-drill results, which lessons you have completed or bookmarked, and active reading time in the theory course. This is what makes your progress follow the account across devices.

If you buy an access pass we store the payment reference, the amount, the status and the last four card digits – never the card number itself, which goes straight to Stripe.

Cookies and local storage

The cookies that keep you signed in (for up to 30 days) are necessary and are not used for tracking. If you press “Accept”, Google also sets cookies for Google Ads and Google Analytics. If you press “No thanks”, we don’t set them.

Your browser additionally keeps a few choices locally on your device – dark mode, language, practice results for signed-out visits and how far you have got in the course. The Android app keeps the same settings locally on your phone. None of it is sent anywhere else.

Third parties

Stripe handles payments: on the checkout page – and only there – Stripe's own script is loaded, and the card details you type go directly to Stripe. If you pay with Vipps, you approve in the Vipps app and we send only the amount and an order reference. If you choose to sign in with Google, Google confirms your identity. The driving-school maps come from OpenFreeMap (OpenStreetMap data), and post-code coordinates from Geonorge.

None of these are used for advertising, and none load on any page other than where their feature is needed.

For how long, and how to delete

Your account is kept for as long as you have one. You delete it yourself, at any time, from the account page – on the website or in the app – and deletion is immediate: progress, sessions and payment history disappear with the account.

The only thing left behind is one nameless line per purchase in our sales records – date, amount, currency and a reference, with no name, no email address and no link to the account. Norwegian bookkeeping law requires us to keep that line.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and to object to processing based on legitimate interest. Deletion you do yourself from the account page; for everything else, write to support@veimester.no. You can also complain to Datatilsynet, the Norwegian Data Protection Authority.

The controller is Darvishi Digitaltjenester, Oslo. The full privacy policy – legal bases and retention periods – is under Privacy in the app.
