Privacy policy
What we collect when you take a test, why, who processes it on our behalf, how long we keep it and how to ask us to delete it.
What we collect
- Your email address, which you give at the end of a test so we can send your results and feedback. If you tick the box, we also use it to tell you about new tests.
- Your answers and test activity: answers, writing, time spent per paper and the test you took.
- Speaking recordings, if you take a Speaking test, and their transcripts.
- Technical data: a hashed (not stored in readable form) version of your IP address and your browser type, used to prevent abuse.
On your device
While you take a test, your progress is saved in your browser's local storage so you can continue after a reload. It is deleted after 12 hours or when you submit. We do not use advertising cookies.
Why we use it
To mark your test, send you your results and feedback, keep the service secure, and improve our tests. Our legal basis is providing the service you asked for and, for marketing emails, your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Who processes your data for us
- Vercel (website hosting)
- Supabase (database and storage of answers and recordings)
- Anthropic (to assess Writing and Speaking for your expert evaluation)
- Deepgram (to transcribe Speaking recordings for your expert evaluation)
- Resend (sending results emails)
- Telegram (internal notifications to our team when a test is submitted, which include the email address and scores)
These providers process data only to deliver their service to us. Some are based outside the UK and EU; transfers rely on standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.
How long we keep it
Test attempts and results: 24 months. Speaking recordings: 90 days after marking. Then they are deleted.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it, by writing to hello@cambridgemocktests.com. You can also complain to your data protection authority.
Children
Our tests are intended for candidates aged 16 and over. Younger students should use the site with a parent's or teacher's permission.
