Short version: we don't ask for your name, email or any account details, and our tools run inside your browser. Advertising and affiliate partners, and our web host, may collect some technical information as described below.
What we don't collect
- We have no user accounts, sign-ups or forms.
- Practice answers, essays and typed text stay in your browser. They aren't sent to us.
- Speaking recordings stay in your browser's memory so you can play them back, and are deleted when you leave or reload the page. They're never uploaded.
What may be collected, and by whom
Our web host. Like almost every website, our hosting provider automatically keeps server logs (for example, IP address, browser type, pages requested and time). These are used for security and keeping the site running. We don't use them to identify you.
Advertising (Google AdSense). When ads are shown, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads and measure them, which can include ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can manage ad personalisation at Google's ad settings and learn more at how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Where the law requires it (for example, for visitors in the EU or UK), you'll be asked for consent first.
Affiliate links (including Amazon Associates). If you click an affiliate link, the partner may set a cookie to record that you came from us, so we can earn a commission. That partner's privacy policy then applies. We don't receive your personal details from them.
Read-aloud features. "Hear it" buttons and listening questions use your browser's built-in speech feature. Some browsers send the text to be read (not anything about you) to their own online voice service.
Analytics. We either use no analytics or a privacy-friendly, cookie-free service that counts visits without identifying you.
Email. If you email us, we receive what you send and use it only to reply. We don't add you to mailing lists.
Fonts and images
Our fonts and images are hosted on our own server, so loading a page doesn't send your details to font services.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, use your browser's private mode, or use an ad blocker. The site's tools will still work.
Children
This site is meant for adults and older teenagers preparing for English tests. We don't knowingly collect information from children.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the site changes. The date at the top shows the latest version. Questions? Email hello@englishcoaching.au.
