Quiz Data Privacy Policy
At Discover Tutoring, we respect your privacy and are committed to transparency regarding how we collect and use your data. This policy outlines what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.
1. What Data We Collect
We only collect anonymised data related to your quiz activity, such as:
- Quiz completions and scores.
- A randomised user ID that tracks your quiz progress over time. This ID is completely anonymous and cannot be linked to any personal information.
2. How Data Is Collected
No data is stored—either locally in your browser or on our server—unless you explicitly press “Save Progress”, or agree to automated collection of data by pressing either “Enable Automatic Tracking” or “click here” [to Enable Tracking]. This means:
- Local Storage: Your quiz progress is stored locally in your browser only if you press “Save Progress” or enable automated tracking. No data is retained locally or transmitted to our server if you do not save your progress.
- Server-Side Storage: When you press “Save Progress,” anonymised data (such as quiz completions, scores, and the randomised user ID) is transmitted to our server and stored securely.
3. How We Use Your Data
The anonymised data is used solely to:
- Track your quiz progress and provide personalised feedback.
- Analyse user behaviour to improve our quizzes and services.
No personal data (such as names, email addresses, or IP addresses) is collected or associated with your quiz progress.
4. Data Retention and Deletion
- Local Deletion: When you press “Delete Progress” followed by “Delete All Progress” on our website, the randomised user ID stored in your browser’s local storage will be deleted. This means that while your data will still exist on our server, it will no longer be linked to your device or session. Any future interaction will generate a new user ID, and previously stored data will become impossible to link to you.
Additionally, when you press “Delete Progress” followed by “Delete All Progress” on our website, all quiz data saved in your browser’s local storage will be deleted, this cannot be recovered. - Server-Side Data: The data previously transmitted to our server (quiz completions, scores, etc.) remains on the server but becomes completely anonymised, as there is no way to associate it with you once your local user ID is deleted.
- Aggregated Data: We may periodically aggregate anonymised data to analyse trends and improve our services. Aggregated data cannot be traced back to individual users and may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.
5. Your Rights
- Right to Erasure: You can delete your anonymised progress from local storage at any time using the “Delete Progress” button on our website. This will delete the randomised user ID from your browser and make it impossible to associate your device with previously saved data on our server.
- Right to Opt-Out: You can choose not to save your progress at all. If you do not press “Save Progress,” no data will be transmitted to our server or saved locally in your browser.
6. Data Security
We prioritise the security of your data. All data transmitted to our server when you choose to save your progress is sent over a secure HTTPS connection. The anonymised data is stored in a secure environment and cannot be linked back to your personal information.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services or legal obligations. We encourage you to review this page periodically for updates. Significant changes will be communicated clearly on our website.
