Privacy Policy

English Step Up uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense is a service operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies allows it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Key points about AdSense on this site:

• Ads may be personalized based on your browsing history and interests, as determined by Google’s advertising systems.
• The DoubleClick cookie is used by Google to serve ads and to track whether you have already seen a particular ad.
• Third-party vendors and ad networks, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads on this site.
• Ad serving is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

This site itself does not set first-party cookies. However, third-party services embedded on this site — specifically Google AdSense — may set cookies on your browser. These include:

• Advertising cookies — used by Google to serve and measure ads (e.g. __gads, IDE).
• Analytics cookies — if anonymous traffic analysis is active (see section below).

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking advertising cookies will prevent personalized ads from loading but may still display non-personalized ads. See your browser’s help documentation for instructions on managing cookies.

We may use anonymous, aggregated analytics to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which levels or exercises receive the most visits. This data:

• Cannot be used to identify individual users.
• Is not linked to any personal information.
• Is used solely to improve the quality and coverage of exercises.

If a third-party analytics provider (such as Google Analytics) is used, it will be configured with IP anonymization enabled. Any such provider is bound by its own data-processing terms and privacy policies.

English Step Up is designed to require no personal data from users. We do not collect, store, or process any of the following:

• Names, email addresses, or any contact details.
• Account credentials — no accounts exist on this platform.
• Exercise scores or learning progress — session state is local to your browser and discarded when you close the tab.
• Payment information — the service is entirely free.
• Location data beyond the country-level inference that Google’s ad systems may perform.

Because we do not collect personal data, there is no user data for us to provide, correct, or delete. However, if you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, California (CCPA), or another jurisdiction with data protection rights, the following applies:

• Personalized ads (GDPR / CCPA): You may opt out of Google’s interest-based advertising at Google Ads Settings.
• Network-level opt-out: Visit optout.networkadvertising.org or aboutads.info to opt out from participating ad networks.
• Browser-level control: You can delete or block cookies through your browser’s settings at any time.

For any privacy-related requests or questions, contact us at the address in the Contact section below.

English Step Up is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Because we use Google AdSense, ad content served to users may be personalized based on inferred age signals. Google’s AdSense policies prohibit targeting ads to children and we comply with those requirements.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has interacted with this site in a way that has resulted in personal data being collected, please contact us immediately.

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
