1. Introduction
Welcome to The Computer Science Revision Hub (“we,” “us” or “our”). We act as the data controller for the personal data collected through this website and our services. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and your rights under UK data‑protection laws—including the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, the Age‑Appropriate Design Code and the Data Use and Access Act 2025. Last updated: 14 October 2025.
2. Information We Collect
We collect the minimum information necessary to run our service:
- School email address: Used to create and manage your account.
- Performance data: Quiz scores, progress tracking and interactions with our tools, used to personalise your learning and improve our resources.
- Contact data: If you use our support or contact forms, we collect your name, email and message so we can respond.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type and device information to ensure security and performance of the platform.
- Payment information: Subscription payments are processed securely by Stripe; we do not store your full payment details.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal data is based on the following legal grounds:
- Contract: We need your email and performance data to provide revision tools and tutoring services.
- Legitimate interests: We analyse anonymised and aggregated performance data to improve our platform.
- Consent: We send optional updates and promotional emails only if you have opted in. You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Legal obligation: We may process data to comply with laws or respond to legal requests.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use your data to:
- Provide and improve revision tools, quizzes, flashcards and tutoring services.
- Authenticate your account and personalise your learning experience.
- Process subscription payments via Stripe.
- Respond to your enquiries and support requests.
- Send optional updates, tips and promotional offers (with your consent).
- Maintain the security and functionality of our platform.
5. Children’s Privacy and High‑Privacy Settings
Because many of our users are under 18, we follow the UK’s Age‑Appropriate Design Code. We:
- Default to high‑privacy settings, limiting profile visibility and disabling geolocation.
- Collect and retain only the minimum personal data required.
- Do not use children’s data for profiling or marketing.
- Require parental or guardian permission for users under 13 if we rely on consent, in accordance with UK GDPR Article 8. Children aged 13 or over may create their own account and provide consent themselves if they understand what they are agreeing to.
- Explain our data practices in plain language suitable for students and parents.
6. How We Protect Your Data
We use technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including encryption of data in transit and at rest, secure password hashing, multi‑factor authentication for staff, role‑based access controls and regular security audits. We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described, after which we anonymise or delete it. No online service is 100 % secure, but we continuously work to safeguard your information.
7. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share it with:
- Service providers: Trusted third parties such as Stripe (for payments) and email delivery services.
- Tutors: They may see your name and performance data to conduct tutoring sessions.
- Authorities: We may disclose data when required by law or to protect our rights.
- Aggregated statistics: We may publish anonymised data (e.g. average quiz scores) that cannot identify individuals.

- Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct inaccuracies or delete your personal data.
- Restrict or object to certain processing activities.
- Receive your data in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time.
