Privacy Policy

This policy explains how GermanGrad processes personal data when you visit germangrad.com or use our courses and automated written feedback.

We are not required to appoint a data protection officer. For any privacy question or request, write to info@germangrad.com.

• Account data: name, e-mail address, chosen level and plan.
• Learning data: lessons completed, exercise and mock test answers and scores, progress, and texts you submit for correction along with our feedback.
• Communication data: the content of e-mails and messages you send us.
• Purchase data: plan, order and subscription status, provided by Polar. We do not receive your full card details.
• Technical data: IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, date and time of access, collected automatically in server logs.

Paid plans are sold through Polar Software, Inc. (USA), which acts as our reseller and Merchant of Record. When you check out, you enter your name, e-mail, billing address and payment details directly with Polar and its payment processor, Stripe.

As the seller of the purchase, Polar processes this data to handle payment, tax, fraud prevention and invoicing, and Polar’s own privacy policy applies. We receive only what we need to give you access and to answer billing questions: your name, e-mail, billing address, plan and subscription status.

We use only cookies and similar storage that are strictly necessary to run the site, such as keeping you logged in and remembering your settings. These do not need consent (§ 25(2) TDDDG).

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. We do use two privacy- friendly analytics tools to count visits and see which pages are read:

• Vercel Web Analytics (Vercel Inc.), which measures page views without cookies and without storing anything that identifies you.
• Cloudflare Web Analytics (Cloudflare, Inc.), which also works without cookies and without cross-site tracking.

Neither sets a cookie, neither follows you to other websites, and neither builds a profile of you, so neither needs your consent. If we ever add a tool that does, we will only activate it after you agree through a consent banner, and we will list it here. You can withdraw consent at any time.

GermanGrad is intended for users aged 16 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from younger children; if you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

We protect your data with HTTPS encryption, encrypted password storage and access limited to people who need it to run the Service.

We may update this policy when our Service or the law changes. The date at the top shows the latest version, and we will e-mail account holders about significant changes.

The terms governing your use of the Service are set out separately in our Terms of Use.
