Privacy

The short version

We collect the minimum we need to run your account. We do not sell your data and we do not send you marketing you did not ask for.

What we collect

Your email, so you can sign in and keep your progress. Your practice results, so we can show your score by topic and let you redo questions you got wrong. Payment records, held by our payment provider, since we never see or store your card details. Basic usage data, so we know which pages and questions need improving.

What we do not do

We do not sell or rent your data to anyone, we do not send marketing emails unless you opt in, and we do not track you across other websites for advertising.

Who else sees it

Only the services we need to run the site, and it is worth naming them rather than calling them providers. Clerk signs you in and holds your name, your email address and the method you signed in with. Neon is the database that holds the score of each test you finish. Vercel hosts the site and collects the cookieless usage data. When payments are switched on, Stripe will take them and will see your card details, which we never do.

Resend sends our email, and there are two kinds. One message welcomes you when you create an account. One message confirms your address if you ask to hear when a full set opens. We do not send anything else, and the reminder this site was once built to send is switched off, because it had no way for you to refuse it.

Each of them receives only what it needs. None of them is sent your practice answers question by question, because we do not send those anywhere: what leaves your browser is the score and the topic breakdown.

These are all companies based in the United States, and our database runs on servers there, so if you are in the UK or the EU your account data is held outside it. That is a thing you are entitled to know before you make an account, and the free practice tests still need no account at all.

If you leave your email to hear when the full sets open

We keep the address, the page you left it on and the exam you were looking at, and nothing else. We send one message asking you to confirm, and nothing at all goes to an address that has not been confirmed.

Once confirmed, the only email you get is the one you asked for. Every message carries a link to leave the list, which works straight away, and leaving is the same whether you use that link or the unsubscribe control in your mail app. The list is kept in our own database and not by the company that sends the email.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your account and everything in it. Email us and we will do it within 30 days.

Cookies and what we keep in your browser

We use cookies to keep you signed in. We do not use advertising cookies.

Two things are kept only in your browser: whether you prefer light or dark mode, and any practice test you have started, so that closing the tab or reloading the page does not lose your answers. Neither of those ever leaves the device you used, and clearing your browser data removes them.

The score and topic breakdown of each test you finish is kept in your browser as well, which is what makes your dashboard load instantly. When you are signed in it is also kept against your account, which is how another device shows the same numbers. You can download a copy or delete all of it from your account page, and deleting clears both at once. The notice at the top of this page says which of these is actually running today.
