Privacy Policy

TestPrep Advice collects very little personal information. You can read every page without an account, and we don't run advertising or tracking cookies. This policy explains what we do collect, why, who we share it with and how to reach us about it. TestPrep Advice is operated from Alberta, Canada, and we handle personal information in line with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

Information We Collect

We only collect personal information you choose to send us, plus the basic technical data every website receives.

• The "Suggest a resource" form. If you use it, we collect the name, email address, exam and score you enter. We use this to review your suggestion and, if needed, reply to you.
• Messages you send us. If you email us or message us on Instagram, we keep the message and your contact details so we can reply.
• Technical data. Like any website, our hosting provider receives your IP address, browser type and the pages you request. Our site also uses your IP address briefly, for up to one hour, to limit form spam.
• Clicks on links to course providers. When you click one of our testprepadvice.com/go/ links, we record the date and time, the link, the page you clicked from, your IP address, and your browser and device type. We use this to see which links and pages readers find useful.

Apart from these click records, we don't use analytics or advertising trackers, and we don't sell personal information. If we add analytics in future, we'll update this page before we do.

Cookies

Our site doesn't set cookies for visitors. WordPress sets cookies only for people who log in to manage the site. Other sites you visit through our links, such as course providers, may set their own cookies under their own policies.

How We Use Your Information

• To review course and resource suggestions
• To reply to your messages and correct errors you report
• To keep the site secure and prevent spam
• To count clicks on our links to course providers and see which pages readers find useful

We don't use your information for marketing unless you sign up for it separately.

Who We Share It With

We don't sell or rent personal information. We share it only with service providers that run the site for us, such as our web host, Hostinger, and our email provider, and only as needed for them to provide that service. We may also disclose information if the law requires it. Some of these providers may store data outside Canada, where it's subject to the laws of that country.

Links to Other Sites

Our pages link to test prep companies, exam organizations and social media. Some of these may be affiliate links, which tell the company that you came from TestPrep Advice. Once you leave our site, that site's own privacy policy applies.

How Long We Keep It

We keep suggestions and messages for as long as they're useful for running the site, generally no more than two years, and then delete them. Click records are deleted automatically after 12 months, and rate-limiting data after one hour.

Your Choices and Rights

You can ask us to show you, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or withdraw your consent to our using it. Contact us using the details below, and we'll respond within 30 days.

Children

TestPrep Advice is written for students preparing for graduate and professional school admissions tests. It isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.

Changes to This Policy

If we change how we handle personal information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
