IELTS Computer ("we", "our", or "us") operates the IELTS Computer application and the website
https://ieltscomputer.com (collectively, the "Service").
This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.
By using the Service, you agree to these practices.
1. Data Minimization Principle
IELTS Computer is designed with data minimization as a core principle.
We collect only the minimum information required to operate the application and provide access to its features.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Third-Party Social Logins (Apple and Google)
When you choose to authenticate using third-party services like Sign in with Apple or Google Login, we may receive certain information. This includes:
- A unique user identifier generated by Apple or Google.
- Your email address (if you choose to share it or if provided by the platform).
- Your name (when you choose to sign in via your Google or Apple account).
We collect this information to create your account, manage your study progress, and facilitate app access. We do not receive your Apple ID or Google passwords, or other unrelated account details. This data is processed in accordance with the policies of Google and Apple.
It is best practice to review how these companies handle your data by visiting their respective privacy policies:

We do not use personal data for advertising, behavioral tracking, or data resale.
4. Payments and Billing
4.1 Apple In-App Purchases
Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store are processed exclusively by Apple.
IELTS Computer does not process these payments directly or store payment card/billing information for Apple purchases.
4.2 External Payment Processing (Stripe)
When you purchase a subscription through our app using an external payment link,
your payment is processed by Stripe, Inc., a third-party payment processor.
IELTS Computer does not directly handle, process, or store your payment card information for Stripe purchases.
What Payment Data Stripe Collects
When you make a payment through Stripe, the following personal data is collected and processed:
- Payment information: Credit/debit card number, expiration date, CVV, billing address
- Transaction data: Purchase amount, date and time of transaction, transaction status
- Contact information: Email address (for receipts and payment confirmations)
- Device and technical data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers
- Behavioral data: Typing patterns, mouse movements, and interaction data on payment forms (used for fraud detection via Stripe Radar)
Important: Your payment card details are transmitted directly to Stripe and are never stored on our servers or accessible to IELTS Computer. Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 certified, the highest level of payment security certification.
How Stripe Uses Your Data
Stripe uses the personal data it collects to:
- Process your payment transaction and complete your subscription purchase
- Prevent fraud and detect suspicious activity through automated risk analysis
- Verify your identity and authenticate transactions
- Comply with legal and regulatory obligations (tax, anti-money laundering, financial regulations)
- Send you payment receipts and transaction notifications

Data Sharing by Stripe
Stripe may share your personal data with:
- IELTS Computer (us): Transaction status, subscription details, and payment metadata (excluding full card details)
- Financial institutions: Your bank or card issuer to process payments and verify transactions
- Service providers: Third-party services that support Stripe's payment infrastructure, fraud detection, and compliance functions

International Data Transfers
Stripe processes payment data in the United States.
If you are located outside the United States, your payment information will be transferred to and processed in the U.S.
Stripe relies on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework
to ensure adequate protection for international data transfers in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
Data Retention
Stripe retains payment transaction data for as long as necessary to:
- Comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations (typically 7-10 years)
- Resolve disputes and enforce agreements
- Prevent fraud and maintain security
- Meet contractual obligations with financial partners and payment networks
We (IELTS Computer) retain subscription status information and transaction metadata
(excluding payment card details) for as long as your account is active and for legal compliance purposes thereafter.
Payment Security and PCI Compliance
We use Stripe's certified payment infrastructure to ensure the highest level of payment security:
- All payment pages use HTTPS encryption and secure connections
- We implement Stripe.js or Stripe Elements, ensuring card numbers never touch our servers
- Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 certified, the most stringent level of payment security certification
