Privacy Policy
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://www.englishnovice.com. We are dedicated to providing quality English language learning resources and maintaining the privacy of our users’ personal information.
Student Progress and Learning Data
When you create an account to track your English learning progress, we collect and store information about your lesson completion, quiz scores, and learning preferences. This data helps us personalize your learning experience and provide progress reports. We may use anonymized learning analytics to improve our educational content and teaching methods.
Interactive Features and User Submissions
When students participate in our interactive exercises, discussion forums, or submit practice writing assignments, we collect the content you provide along with your IP address and device information for security purposes. If you participate in our community features, your username and any profile information you choose to share will be visible to other registered users.
Audio and Video Recordings
If you use our pronunciation practice features or submit speaking exercises, audio recordings may be temporarily stored on our servers for processing and feedback purposes. These recordings are automatically deleted after 30 days unless you specifically save them to your personal progress portfolio. We recommend avoiding sharing personal or sensitive information in audio submissions.
Learning Analytics and Cookies
Our website uses cookies to enhance your learning experience. When you log into your student account, we save cookies that remember your current lesson progress, preferred difficulty level, and interface language settings. These learning preference cookies remain active for 6 months to maintain continuity in your studies.
We also use analytics cookies to understand how students interact with our lessons, which exercises are most effective, and where learners commonly encounter difficulties. This anonymous data helps us improve our teaching materials. You can opt out of analytics tracking in your account settings.
If you use our “Remember My Progress” feature, a secure cookie will keep you logged in for up to 30 days. When you complete lessons or quizzes, temporary cookies track your session progress to prevent data loss if your connection is interrupted.
Third-Party Educational Content
Our lessons may include embedded content from educational partners such as pronunciation tools, interactive exercises, or supplementary videos from language learning platforms. These external services operate under their own privacy policies and may collect data about your interactions with their content. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party educational tools you choose to use.
Data Sharing and Educational Partners
We do not sell or share your personal learning data with third parties for marketing purposes. However, if you enroll in courses that offer certificates or collaborate with educational institutions, we may share your progress and completion status with those authorized partners. You will always be informed before any such data sharing occurs.
Your email address may be shared with our automated email system to send lesson reminders, progress updates, and educational newsletters that you have subscribed to receive.
Data Retention for Learning Continuity
Student accounts and learning progress data are retained for as long as your account remains active. If you do not log in for 2 years, we will send email reminders before archiving your account. Archived accounts can be reactivated within 5 years by contacting our support team.
Discussion forum posts and community contributions are retained indefinitely to maintain the educational value for other learners. However, you can request removal of specific posts by contacting our moderators.
Practice exercises, quiz attempts, and lesson completions are stored permanently to track your long-term learning progression and provide comprehensive progress reports.
Your Rights and Account Control
As a registered student, you have full access to view, download, and modify your personal information and learning progress through your account dashboard. You can update your profile, change notification preferences, and delete practice submissions at any time.
You have the right to request a complete export of your learning data, including progress reports, quiz scores, and any content you have submitted. You may also request complete deletion of your account and associated data, though this will permanently remove your learning progress and cannot be undone.
These rights do not extend to anonymized data used for educational research or content improvement, which cannot be traced back to individual users.
Security and Data Protection
All student data is transmitted using encrypted connections and stored on secure servers with restricted access. Our system undergoes regular security audits to protect against unauthorized access to your learning information and personal data.
Interactive content submissions may be processed through automated language assessment tools to provide immediate feedback on your English proficiency progress.
