Introduction
Welcome to the IGCSE Physics Support Hub ("we", "us", "our"). We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users ("you"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services, particularly when you choose to sign in using Google Authentication.
Please read this policy carefully. By using our service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information we collect
When you sign up and log in to our service using your Google Account (also known as Google OAuth 2.0), you grant us permission to collect certain information from your Google profile. We strictly limit the data we request to only what is necessary to provide our services.
The information we collect via Google Authentication includes:
Email Address: We collect your primary Google email address.
Basic Profile Information: We collect your public profile information, which includes your full name and your profile picture URL.
We do not collect your Google password, your contacts, files from your Google Drive, your calendar events, or any other sensitive information from your Google Account. Our request for data is limited to non-sensitive `email` and `profile` scopes.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect for the following specific purposes:
To Create and Manage Your Account: Your email address serves as a unique identifier for your account, allowing you to sign in securely.
To Personalize Your Experience: Your name and profile picture are used to personalize your user dashboard and profile within our website (e.g., displaying "Welcome, [Your Name]"). This helps create a more engaging and user-friendly environment.
To Track Your Progress: A unique account allows us to save your progress on revision notes, store your scores from practice quizzes, and remember your preferences.
To Communicate With You: We may use your email address to send important, non-promotional information regarding your account or major service updates. We will not send you marketing emails unless you explicitly opt-in.
We will not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any third parties for marketing purposes.
Data Storage and Security
We are committed to protecting your data. The information we collect is stored on secure servers. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, change, or damage. While no online service is 100% secure, we work diligently to protect your information.
Your Data Rights and Choices
You have control over your personal information.
Access and Update: You can access and see the basic information we hold (name, email, profile picture) in your user dashboard at any time.
Revoke Access: You can revoke our access to your Google Account at any time by visiting the Google Account permissions page. Please note that revoking access may prevent you from logging into our service.
Data Deletion: If you wish to permanently delete your account and all associated data from our servers, please send a request to the email address listed below. We will process your request within 30 days.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
