Privacy policy

Last updated: 13 November 2026

Pino Patente is an independent app for preparing the Italian Patente B theory exam in Persian. It is not affiliated with the Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport or the Motorizzazione. This page explains what we keep about you and why.

What we collect

  • Account: your email address, the name you tell Pino (optional) and Pino’s colour. If you sign in with Google, the name and profile picture Google shares. If you set a password, it is stored only as a secure hash by our sign-in provider.
  • Study data: your answers, practice and mock exam results, lessons read, saved questions and words, notes, and the goals you set (daily minutes, exam date, Italian level).
  • Access: the end date of your access and, if you renew, the payment reference (never your card details).
  • Security: when an account is created with email and password, a keyed hash of the IP address is kept for 24 hours to stop mass sign-ups.
  • On your device: settings such as day/night theme, a copy of Pino’s colour and sign-in cookies.

What we don’t do

No ads, no selling of data, no advertising trackers.

Why we use it

To provide the service you asked for (account, progress, daily plan and coach), for security and abuse prevention, and with your consent where the law requires it.

Who receives data

  • Cloud providers that host the website, the database and the sign-in system for us.
  • Google, only if you choose “Continue with Google”.
  • A payment provider, only if you pay online; it processes your card details itself and we never receive them.
  • An AI provider, only when you ask the AI coach; the question is sent without your identity and free-text questions are not stored.

These providers use the data only to do this work for us, under contract. Some may process data outside the EU, with safeguards such as the EU standard contractual clauses. On request, we tell you exactly who they are.

How long we keep it

As long as your account exists. When your access period ends, your data is kept so you can continue after renewing. On request, we delete your account and study data.

Your rights

You can access, correct, delete or export your data, and object to its processing. Contact us: Instagram @pinopatente. You can also complain to the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).

Children

Pino Patente is not meant for children under 14.

Changes

If this policy changes, we update this page and the date at the top.
