Privacy policy

CLB Test has no accounts, no advertising and no tracking cookies. This page lists everything the site processes and why.

Your writing

When you ask for instant feedback, your response and the prompt you answered are sent to Google’s Gemini API, which returns the rating. We do not store your text. We use Google’s paid service, under which Google does not use prompts or responses to improve its products; Google keeps them for a limited period only to detect abuse of its service. Avoid putting your name, address or other personal details in practice responses.

Drafts you type are saved in your own browser (local storage) so they survive a reload. They never leave your device unless you ask for feedback, and you can clear them by deleting the text or your browser data.

Your IP address

To limit free ratings per day and stop automated abuse, we process your IP address when you request feedback or send a score report. Cloudflare Turnstile receives it to check that the request comes from a browser. We store only a one-way hash of it together with a counter, and that record is deleted automatically after two days.

Score reports

If you choose to tell us your official CELPIP Writing level, we store that level, our estimate, which prompt it was for and the test month. Nothing else is stored with it. We keep reports for up to two years to measure how accurate our estimates are.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page visits. It does not set cookies or build a profile of you across sites.

Who processes data for us

• Cloudflare: hosting, bot checks (Turnstile), rate-limit counters and analytics.
• Google: the Gemini API that rates your writing.

These providers may process data in the United States and other countries outside Canada. We do not sell or share personal information for advertising.

Who the site is for

The site is intended for adults preparing for CELPIP. It is not directed at anyone under 18.

Questions and requests

To ask what we hold about you, or to have it corrected or deleted, email [email protected]. Because we do not store your writing and keep IP data only as a short-lived hash, in most cases there is nothing that can be linked back to you.
