What SchoolICT collects, why, and the choices you have

Last Updated: August 2026

🔒

This policy explains what information SchoolICT collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. In short: there is no email wall to read a lesson, a student account is optional and only stores your progress, and the advertising that keeps the site free uses cookies.

🔴 1. Information We Collect

We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site:

  • Account information (optional): if you create a student or teacher account, we store the name and email you provide and the progress you save. You can use most of the site without an account.
  • Usage information (automatic): like most websites, our servers and analytics may record basic technical details such as browser type, device, and pages visited, to keep the site working and improve lessons.
  • Cookies: small files stored by your browser that support features, remember your language choice, and enable advertising.

🟡 2. Advertising and Google AdSense

SchoolICT is funded by advertising, including Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this and other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors at aboutads.info. In regions that require it, you will be asked for consent before personalised ads are shown.

🟢 3. How We Use Information

Information is used to provide and secure the site, save your learning progress when you choose to, understand which lessons help so we can improve them, and display the advertising that funds free access. We do not sell your personal information.

🔴 4. Your Choices and Rights

  • Use most lessons without creating an account.
  • Control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
  • Opt out of personalised ads using the links in the advertising section above.
  • Ask us to access or delete your account data through the Contact page.

🟡 5. Children’s Privacy

SchoolICT is built for students, including school-age learners. We do not knowingly collect more than the basic account details a learner chooses to provide. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided information you would like removed, please contact us and we will remove it.

🟢 6. Security and Changes

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold, though no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. This policy may be updated as the site changes; the date at the top shows the latest version. Questions are welcome through the Contact page.
