1) Who We Are

2) Lawful Basis

• Consent — when you ask us to email your results.
• Legitimate interests — to improve site performance and educational quality using anonymised, aggregated insights.
• Legal obligation — to comply with applicable laws (e.g., handling data-subject requests).

3) What Data We Collect

• Email address — provided voluntarily to receive your test results.
• Quiz performance data — used to generate your personalised results.
• Technical data — IP, browser, and device information collected anonymously for performance and analytics.

4) AI & Human Oversight

We may use AI tools as drafting and review assistants to improve clarity, grammar, and educational value of explanations. Final content is always reviewed and edited by humans. We do not use AI to make automated decisions about users (e.g., scoring, admissions, or eligibility). Personal data is not sent to AI providers unless you explicitly request it and we consider it necessary and safe. Learn more in our AI Disclosure & FAQ.

5) How We Use Your Data

• Deliver CAT4 practice results to your inbox.
• Help you review performance across test sections.
• Improve the educational value of our platform using anonymised, aggregated insights.

6) Data Minimization & Safety

We collect and process the minimum amount of personal data needed to deliver your results. Where we use external tools, we remove or mask PII and share only what is necessary for the purpose.

7) No Automatic Subscriptions

8) Cookies & Analytics

• Functional cookies — required for test progress and result delivery.
• Anonymous analytics — to understand which questions and pages are most helpful.

9) Third-Party Processors

We do not sell or rent personal data. We may use privacy-compliant processors to operate the site (e.g., hosting/CDN, quiz engine, analytics, email delivery). These processors act on our instructions and are bound by data-processing and confidentiality terms. A current list is available on request.

We do not share PII with AI providers. If a specific use requires it, we will request your explicit consent in advance.

10) Security

Data is stored in secure environments with encryption in transit and access limited to authorised personnel. We review access logs and apply least-privilege access controls.

11) International Transfers

Where data is processed outside your jurisdiction, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms) to protect your information.

12) Data Storage & Retention

13) Children’s Privacy

Our materials are for educational use by families and schools. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without the involvement of a parent, guardian, or school. If you believe a child has provided personal data without consent, contact us and we will delete it.

14) Your Rights (GDPR)

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion.
• Withdraw consent at any time.
• Lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.
