In short: we collect only what we need to run your account and the site, we never sell your data, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us
- Account details — your name, email address and password when you create an account. Passwords are stored only as a one-way encrypted hash; we can never see your password.
- Google sign-in — if you continue with Google, we receive your name, email address, profile photo and Google account ID from Google.
- Messages — your name, email address and message when you use our contact form.
Information collected automatically
- Account activity — when your account was created and when you last signed in.
- Security data — to stop password guessing and spam we count sign-in, sign-up and form attempts per email address and IP address. These counters are stored in a scrambled (hashed) form and are deleted automatically within 15 minutes.
- Usage analytics — we use Google Analytics to understand which pages are visited and how the site is used, so we can improve it.
2. How we use your information
- To create and manage your account and keep you signed in.
- To provide answer key calculations, score and rank analysis.
- To reply to your messages and support requests.
- To protect the site and our users from abuse, spam and unauthorised access.
- To understand how the site is used and improve it.
5. How long we keep information
We keep your account information for as long as your account is active. Contact form messages are kept as long as needed to respond and for our records. Security counters expire automatically within 15 minutes. When you ask us to delete your account, we delete your personal information unless we must keep it by law.
6. How we protect your information
We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), store passwords only as secure hashes, limit repeated sign-in attempts and restrict access to our systems. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and review our safeguards regularly.
7. Your choices and rights
- View and update your details on your Profile and Settings pages.
- Ask us for a copy of your personal information, or to correct or delete it.
- Delete your account by contacting us.
