1. Overview
IELTS Passport (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website at ieltspassport.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our Service.
2. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your email address and a hashed password. If you sign in with Google, we receive your email and profile name from Google.
Payment Information
Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number, CVV, or full card details. Stripe provides us with a customer ID and subscription status.
Essay Submissions
If you use the AI scoring feature, the essay text you submit is sent to Google’s Gemini API for analysis. We may store your scoring history (band scores and feedback) in your account for progress tracking. We do not share your essays with third parties beyond the AI provider.
Usage Data
We may collect anonymous usage data such as pages visited, features used, and session duration to improve the Service. This data does not identify you personally.
