Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 28, 2026
ReadLevels (readlevels.org) collects as little as we can to run the product.
1. What we collect
- Email address, or an identifier from Google / Apple if you use those buttons
- Display name you choose for the Learner (we do not require a legal name, phone number, school, or ID documents)
- A hashed Learner PIN, set in the Manager account
- Language preference
- Quiz answers, scores, and learning reports tied to the Learner
- Basic technical logs (IP, browser, time) and session cookies so we can keep you signed in and enforce separate two-session limits for Manager and Learner
- Redeem-code or payment status, recorded only if you unlock paid reports
We do not collect government IDs or phone numbers. We do not collect card numbers on-site in this version.
2. How we use it
- Create and sign you in
- Save history and reports
- Send verification and service email (expiry reminders, not ads)
- Stop abuse and keep the site up
We do not sell or rent your email to advertisers.
3. Who else sees it, and where it lives
We use other companies only to run the product: email delivery, Google or Apple sign-in if you choose those buttons, hosting, and the checkout provider if you pay off-site. Each of them gets only what they need for that job.
Because we are based in the United States, your data may be stored in the U.S. or in the region where we host the site.
4. Security
We encrypt data in transit and hash passwords and PINs. No method is perfect.
5. Your rights and deletion
You may ask to see or correct your data, or delete the account in settings or by emailing contact@readlevels.org.
When you delete the account, we disable login at once. We remove your email, display name, and learning records from active systems within 30 days. Where the law requires us to retain security or accounting records, we keep them with identifying details removed.
6. Children
If the Learner is under 13 (or under the online-consent age where you live), a parent or guardian must create the Manager account and agree to this policy.
