ExamOven - Privacy Information

Last updated: March 23, 2026

1. Information Specific to ExamOven

Using ExamOven involves collecting:

• Individual Exam Attempt Data (Stored Locally): When you take an exam, the following information is generated and stored locally on your device (in your browser's IndexedDB database):
  • Your selected answers for each question.
  • The calculated score, maximum possible score.
  • Counts of correct, incorrect, and unattempted questions.
  • Total time taken for the attempt.
  • Time spent per question.
  • The specific settings used for that attempt (time limit, marking scheme).
  This data is used to provide you with results, allow answer review, and populate your attempt history. We do not transmit your individual question responses to our servers.
• User-Uploaded/Pasted Content:If you upload or paste a custom JSON question set for practice, ExamOven processes this data locally in your browser to deliver the exam simulation. We do not upload or store your custom question content on our servers.
• Simulator Usage Data (Analytics): We may collect anonymized or aggregated data about how features within ExamOven are used (e.g., frequency of filter use, types of exams taken) via Google Analytics to help us improve the simulator's functionality and user experience. This is distinct from your personal attempt results.
• Google Drive Sync (Optional):If you choose to enable the Google Drive Sync feature, your attempt history, results, and settings are transmitted to your personal Google Drive account via the Google Drive API. This data is stored in a private folder within your Drive that only you (and the ExamOven app with your permission) can access. We do not store this data on our own servers.

2. How ExamOven Uses Your Information

ExamOven-specific data is used primarily to:

• Provide the core exam simulation functionality.
• Calculate and display your exam results and performance breakdowns immediately after your attempt.
• Enable the answer review feature.
• Populate and maintain your attempt history accessible via your ExamOven Profile (read from your local storage).
• Analyze simulator usage patterns (anonymously/aggregated) to identify areas for improvement.

3. Cookies, IndexedDB and Local Storage

ExamOven relies on:

• IndexedDB: For storing your comprehensive exam attempt history and performance results directly on your device.
• Local Storage: To save your app preferences, UI settings, and limited temporary session data.
• Cookies: Small data files used by Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage data and by Google OAuth to securely manage your authentication session if you use Google Drive Sync.

4. Data Access and Deletion

You can access your individual ExamOven attempt history through your ExamOven Profile page. Since this data is stored locally in your browser's database, clearing your browser's cache or data for this site will delete your exam history unless you have enabled Google Drive Sync. You can also manually delete individual attempts from your history page.

5. Third-Party Services Used by ExamOven

ExamOven utilizes:

• Recharts: A library used locally in your browser to render charts on the results page. It does not typically send data externally.
• KaTeX & React Markdown: Libraries used locally in your browser to render mathematical formulas and formatted text within questions/options/explanations. They do not send data externally.
