Privacy notice

• We collect your sign-in details, the cards you've seen, and how you did. Nothing else.
• We use that data to run the service. We don't sell it.
• You can delete your account and all your data from the Profile page at any time.
• If you're under 13, you need a parent or guardian's permission to use Educator.

Educator is a daily-practice study tool for GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition, GCSE History, and GCSE Geography (plus KS3 variants). It's operated by Ben Willis, a sole trader based in England. The data controller is Ben Willis. Reach us at support@educator-labs.com or via the contact page.

If you're unhappy with how we're handling your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

• Account: your name, email, and a unique account ID (provided by our authentication partner Clerk). If you sign up with Google, we also receive your Google profile picture.
• Date of birth:for individual accounts only — we use it once to confirm you're 13 or over, then store the date so we don't have to ask again.
• Practice activity: which cards you saw, your answers, your score, your streak, your XP.
• Subscription information (paying users only): we keep a Stripe customer ID and your current plan + renewal date on your account. We never see or store your card details — those are held by Stripe.
• Technical: standard server logs (IP address, time of request) kept for 30 days for security and debugging only. Crash and error reports captured by Sentry.

We don't use cookies for advertising, and we don't allow third-party trackers. We don't collect anything we don't need to run the service.

• To show you cards, score you, and keep your streak going.
• To put you on the leaderboard against people in your class or school (when those features land).
• To answer your support questions if you email us.
• To keep the service secure and debug problems.

We use these companies to run Educator. They're our processors:

• Clerk — handles your sign-in. Stores your name, email, and password hash (or Google OAuth identity if you sign in with Google).
• Neon — our database. Stores your practice activity.
• Vercel — hosts the website. Sees server logs and request metadata.
• Stripe — handles all card payments and subscription billing for paying individual users. We send Stripe your name, email, and customer ID. Stripe stores your card details — we never see them. UK-regulated payment processor.
• Resend — sends transactional emails (welcome notes, weekly digests for teachers). Sees your email address and the content of the message sent.
• Sentry — captures error reports so we can fix bugs. May include your user ID and the page you were on when the error happened.

We don't share your data with anyone else. We don't sell it. We don't use it for advertising.

Practice data is held in the EU/UK region. Some processors (Clerk, Vercel) may handle data in the US under the UK's adequacy regulations. Server logs are deleted after 30 days. Your account data stays as long as your account exists.

• Access:see what we hold about you. Use the “Download my data” button on your profile.
• Delete:remove your account and all your data using “Delete my account” on your profile.
• Correct: if anything we hold is wrong, get in touch via the contact page.
• Object or restrict:stop us using your data for things you don't want. Email us.
• Complain: the ICO is the regulator — ico.org.uk.

Educator is designed to be used by GCSE students (typically Y10–Y11, ages 14–16). If you're younger than 13, your parent or guardian needs to set up your account and give us permission. If you're a parent and want to remove an account you set up, reach out via the contact page.

When a school subscribes, we sign a Data Processing Agreement. The school is the data controller for student accounts; Educator is the processor. Data Protection Officers can request the DPA template via the contact page.

If we change how we handle your data, we'll update this page and tell you the next time you sign in. Major changes will require fresh consent.
