Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
Overview
IGCSE CS Tutor ("we", "us", "our") provides an online revision platform for Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science (0478) students. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the service, you agree to the practices described here.
If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the service. This policy applies to all visitors and registered users.
Information we collect
Account information: your email address and (optionally) your name, which you provide when you register.
Study data: your quiz answers, flashcard progress, mock test results, and progress analytics, linked to your account so we can show you your performance.
Payment information: when you purchase access, payment is processed by our payment provider (Stripe). We do not store your full card number or sensitive card details on our servers — those are handled directly by the provider.
Usage and technical data: device type, browser, and interaction events (such as pages viewed and buttons tapped) collected through analytics to help us understand and improve the service.
How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the service and your study experience;
- Track your progress, quiz results, and strengths and weaknesses;
- Process payments and manage your access to paid content;
- Communicate with you about your account, security, and updates;
- Analyze usage to understand how the service is used and to improve it;
- Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and technical issues.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate analytics and remember your preferences. Analytics helps us understand which features are used and where we can improve. We only enable analytics tracking after you have accepted our cookie banner.
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing your browser storage for this site, which resets the consent choice. Essential functionality of the service does not depend on analytics cookies.
Third-party services
We rely on trusted third parties to operate the service:
- Stripe — processes payments securely. Your card details are handled by Stripe and are subject to Stripe's privacy policy.
- Base44 — the platform that hosts the application, database, and authentication, and powers the analytics described above.
- Google — if we run advertising, Google may use cookies to measure ad performance and show ads to relevant audiences, subject to Google's policies and your consent.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Data retention
We keep your account and study data for as long as your account is active and you are preparing for your exams. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time from the account menu, and we will remove it within a reasonable period.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you;
- Request correction of inaccurate data;
- Request deletion of your data and account;
- Withdraw consent for analytics and cookies;
- Object to or restrict certain processing of your data.

Children's privacy
The service is designed for IGCSE students, who may be under 18. If you are under 18, please ask a parent or guardian to review this policy and help you register. We do not knowingly collect more information than is necessary to provide the educational service. If you believe a child has provided data without parental consent, please contact us and we will remove it.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including secure authentication, encrypted connections, and access controls that limit each user to their own study data. Payment details are never stored on our servers. However, no method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International data transfer
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, where data protection laws may differ. We take steps to ensure your data is protected in line with this policy and applicable law.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version here and revise the "Last updated" date. Material changes will be highlighted where practical.
