Privacy Policy
This policy explains what personal information SIE Exam Practice Test collects when you use sieexampracticetest.com, why we collect it, which services handle it for us and the choices you have. It covers the practice tests, accounts and paid plans on the site. By using the site you acknowledge this policy.
1. Who we are
SIE Exam Practice Test ("we", "us"), 131 Continental Dr, Suite 305, Newark, DE 19713, USA, runs this site and decides how the personal information described here is used. Email: [email protected].
2. The short version
- You can practice without an account. We then know a random practice ID, a device hash and your test activity, and no name or email address.
- If you create an account, we hold your email address, your password and your test history.
- Payments go through PayPal. We never see your card or bank details.
- Google Analytics loads only if you press Accept on the cookie banner.
- We do not sell your personal information, and the site has no advertising.
3. What we collect
3.1 When you practice without an account
- A random practice ID. Your browser creates a random code and keeps it in local storage and in a first-party cookie. It is sent to our account service when you check your free allowance, start a test or save an answer, so we can count your free tests and let you carry on a test after a reload.
- A device hash. When you check your allowance or start a test, the site sends a one-way hash (a fixed-length code that cannot be turned back into the original details) made from your screen size and color depth, pixel ratio, time zone, browser languages, number of processor cores, device memory, platform, touch support, graphics card and a test drawing on a hidden canvas. We use it to count free use per device. It holds no name or contact details.
- Your IP address. Our account service receives it with each request. It is used to apply a limit on free tests per network and to stop abuse.
- A bot check. Anonymous test starts pass a Cloudflare Turnstile check (section 5).
- Your test activity: which test you started, the questions you were given, your answers, your score and when you started and finished.
3.2 When you create an account
- Your email address and a password. Throwaway email addresses cannot be used. We email you a link to confirm your address. A confirmed address raises your free allowance.
- Account records: the date you joined, whether your email is confirmed, whether you have used your free trial and any plan you hold.
- Your practice record: your tests, answers and scores, the questions you flag and the questions you missed, so you can review them and, on a plan, drill them.
- The practice ID and device hash in section 3.1 are still sent while you are logged in.
3.3 Emails we send you
Account emails are sent from [email protected] through Purelymail. They are:
- the link to confirm your email address
- password reset links you ask for
- a reminder 3 days before a plan renews
- a notice when a plan's access ends
We do not send marketing emails or newsletters.
3.4 When you pay
Plans are paid through PayPal on PayPal's own checkout pages. PayPal collects your payment details. We never see or store your card number or bank details. PayPal tells our account service the plan, the amount, the dates, the subscription status and whether each payment succeeded or was refunded, and PayPal sends you its own receipt.
3.5 When you email us
We receive your email address, your name if you include it and what you write. Our mailbox is hosted by Purelymail. If you report a question, we keep the report with our record of that question so we can track the fix.
3.6 Collected automatically
- Server logs. Our web host and our account service record requests to them: IP address, the page or address requested, date and time, browser type and the referring page. We use them to keep the site running and secure.
- Analytics, only if you press Accept. See section 6.

PayPal, Cloudflare and Google also use some information for their own purposes, such as fraud prevention, under their own privacy policies.
We may disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights, our users or the security of the site. If the site is sold or transferred, the information would pass to the new owner under this policy.
6. Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics 4. Until you press Accept on the cookie banner, the Google Analytics script is not loaded and nothing is sent to Google. If you press Reject or ignore the banner, it is never loaded.
If you accept, Google Analytics receives:
- the pages you view and how you reached them
- that you started a test, which test and how many questions it had
- your score, the number of questions, your percentage and whether you passed, when you finish a test
- that you created an account
- that you started a checkout and which plan you bought, with a random reference so a purchase is counted once
Like any web request, it also receives your IP address and browser details, which Google uses to estimate a general location and device type. It does not receive your name, your email address or your individual answers. You can change your choice at any time on the Cookie Policy page, or with Cookie settings in the site footer.
7. Selling and sharing
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for targeted advertising. The site shows no ads and has no advertising or social media pixels.
8. How long we keep it
- Anonymous practice data: as long as we need it to count free tests and keep the service secure.
- Account and practice records: while your account is open. When you ask us to delete your account, we delete them, except records we must keep by law.
- Payment records: as long as tax and accounting rules require.
- Emails you send us: as long as we need them to deal with your message. A question report may stay with our record of the question after your email address is removed.
- Analytics data: for the retention period set in our Google Analytics property, after which Google deletes it.
9. Your choices and rights
Whatever state you live in, you can ask us to:
- tell you what personal information we hold about you and give you a copy
- correct information that is wrong
- delete your information and your account
- stop using your information for analytics, by rejecting or withdrawing analytics consent
Some state privacy laws, such as those in California, Colorado, Connecticut and Virginia, give their residents these rights by law, along with the right not to be treated differently for using them. We handle requests the same way for everyone.
To make a request, email [email protected] from the address on your account. If you used the site without an account, tell us the dates and rough times you used it. We may ask you to confirm who you are before we act. We reply within 45 days. If we turn down a request, we explain why, and you can reply to ask us to look at it again. You can also ask someone to make a request for you if you give them written permission.
10. Children
The site is for people preparing for the SIE exam. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has given us information, email us and we will delete it.
11. Information kept in your browser
Some features keep information in your own browser: your cookie choice, your login, a test in progress, flashcard progress and quiz maker settings. The Cookie Policy lists every item by name. You can delete them at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser.
12. Security
Every page is served over HTTPS. Payment details go to PayPal and never reach our systems. No method of storing or sending data is completely secure. If a breach puts your information at risk, we will notify you as the law requires.
13. Where information is processed
Our account service and the services in section 5 may store or process information outside your state and outside the United States. By using the site you understand that your information may be handled in those places under this policy.
14. Links to other sites
We link to FINRA, the SEC, Investor.gov, the MSRB and other sites. Their own privacy policies apply once you leave our site.
15. Changes to this policy
When we change this policy, we update the "Last updated" date at the top. If a change affects how we use information you have already given us, we will email account holders before it takes effect.
