Your Privacy

If you're the one using our tests, answer pages or practice papers, then this page is for you.

There's a much longer Privacy Policy for grown-ups. This one is the short, straightforward version.


Who we are

We're STP Books. We make English worksheets, tests, puzzles, and books, and we put a lot of our resources online for free.


The main thing you probably want to know

When you use one of our online tests or answer pages, the test itself doesn't ask who you are.

Not your name. Not your email address. Not your school.

You don't have to sign in, and you don't have to create an account.

The test doesn't save your score or your progress.

If you got every question wrong, tried again and got them all right, we wouldn't know that those two goes belonged to you.

That's not us being polite. We've deliberately built the tests so that they don't ask who you are.

Like every webpage, though, the page does create some ordinary information when somebody visits it. We explain that below.


Does the website still know anything about the visit?

Every website creates some ordinary information when a person visits it.

On our site, that can include which page was opened, what kind of device was being used, and roughly which part of the world the visit came from.

That isn't the same as the test asking for your name or saving a score about you.


So why does the address bar change when I answer things?

Good spot.

On some of our tests, the web address at the top of your screen gets longer as you go.

Your answers are added to the address while you work through the test. That's how the page keeps track of where you are. It's a bit like putting a bookmark in a book.

That web address is part of the ordinary technical information created when the page is used. But we've switched off website analytics on the pages we've built for children.

The address doesn't contain your name, your email address, your school, or anything else that tells us who you are.


What about the practice papers?

Some of our printed practice papers have free, self-marking Google Forms to go with them.

We have deliberately set those Forms so that they don't collect your email address, and they don't ask who you are.

They do record the answers you give so that the Form can mark the paper and show you your final score.

The answers aren't linked to your name or email address, so we can't tell which answers were yours.

Google hosts these Forms for us and has its own Privacy Policy.


What about cookies and tracking?

Cookies are small files that websites put on your computer or other device. Some are needed to make a website work. Others can be used to follow what people do online.

On the STP pages we've built for children — including our online tests and answer pages — we've switched off all advertising and tracking tags completely.

They don't run on those pages at all, whatever anybody chose in the cookie banner.

The small cookies needed simply to make the website work can still run.


Do you sell information about me?

No.

We don't sell people's information, rent it, or give your name or email address to advertisers.

And our online tests and answer pages don't ask for your name or email address in the first place.


Can I join your email list?

No, and we're not being mean.

Our mailing list is only for people aged 18 and over. That's usually a parent, a carer, a teacher, a tutor, or a home educator.

You also need to be 18 or over to ask us for one of the free resources we send to subscribers by email, use our email preferences page, or buy something directly from us.

We made that rule ourselves because we don't want to collect children's email addresses for our mailing list.

If you'd like one of our free resources, you can use the ones available directly on the website, or ask a grown-up to help.


If you're under 13

Have a quick word with a grown-up before using this site — or any site, really.

That's a sensible rule everywhere, not just here.


Do you put information about me into AI?

No.

We don't put personal information we hold about people into AI tools, and we don't use it to train AI models.


What if I want to ask something?

You can ask us anything about this.

So can a grown-up on your behalf.

If you email us yourself, we will receive the email address you sent the message from and whatever you write in the message. We need your email address so that we can reply to you.

If you can, we'd recommend asking a grown-up you trust to help you with a privacy question.

You or your grown-up can email us at:

privacy@swottotspublishing.com


What if you have something about me?

You can ask us what information we have about you.

If something is wrong, you can ask us to correct it.

You can also ask us to delete information about you.

If you think we've got any sort of information about you that we shouldn't have, tell us and we'll delete it. We won't ask you to prove anything first.

A grown-up can ask us for you.


What if I don't understand something?

Ask a grown-up you trust to help.

You don't have to work all of this out by yourself.

You can show them this page, and they can read our longer Privacy Policy for grown-ups too.

If you and your grown-up think we haven't dealt with a privacy problem properly, there is also an organisation called the Information Commissioner's Office, or ICO. Its job is to help protect people's information in the UK.

The grown-ups' Privacy Policy explains how to contact it.


What this all comes down to

We'd rather know nothing about you and make good worksheets.
