Information we collect about you

We collect several types of information from and about you, including:

1. Your email address and password. We treat this information as “Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII”. We never store passwords in plain text format, only secure password hashes.

3. Non-personally identifiable information, such as demographic information about you, information about your computer system or device, your preferences, your school, your online activity, and your location information (“Non-Personally Identifiable Information” a “Non-PII”). Non-PII, by itself, does not identify you, but it can be combined with other information in way that allows you to be identified. If this happens, we will treat the combined information as PII.
4. Like most websites, including Google and Yahoo, IGCSE.net ignores the web browser Do Not Track settings. Activity is tracked regardless, but still in accordance with the Google Analytics privacy policy.
