Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the service, we may collect:

Account and contact information

This may include your email address and other information you provide when creating or using an account.

Voice recordings

When you use speaking practice features, you may submit audio recordings of your voice.

These recordings are processed to provide the speaking practice, analysis, feedback and performance estimation features of Aprubo.

Usage information

We may collect technical and usage information such as browser type, device information, pages or features used, and information about interactions with the service.

Payment information

Payments are processed by our payment provider.

We do not need to receive or store your full payment card number to provide the service. Payment information is handled by the payment provider according to its own privacy policy and security practices.

How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

• provide and operate Aprubo;
• process and analyze speaking practice submissions;
• provide feedback and performance estimates;
• create and maintain user accounts;
• provide customer support;
• process purchases and provide access to paid products;
• maintain and improve the service;
• prevent fraud, abuse and unauthorized use; and
• comply with applicable legal obligations.

Voice Recordings

Voice recordings are used to provide the speaking functionality of Aprubo.

We do not publish your recordings publicly or sell your voice recordings to third parties.

Where third-party technology providers are used to process audio or generate feedback, recordings or related information may be processed by those providers only as necessary to provide the relevant functionality, subject to applicable agreements and safeguards.

Artificial Intelligence

Aprubo may use artificial intelligence technology to analyze speaking responses and provide practice feedback or performance estimates.

AI-generated feedback is provided for educational and practice purposes and should not be considered an official CELPIP assessment.

Legal Bases

Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing personal information, we rely on appropriate legal bases depending on the activity, including:

• performance of a contract when processing is necessary to provide the service you requested;
• consent where consent is required;
• legitimate interests where permitted by applicable law; and
• compliance with legal obligations.

Data Sharing

We may share information with service providers that help us operate Aprubo, such as providers of:

• hosting and infrastructure;
• payment processing;
• authentication;
• analytics;
• customer support;
• artificial intelligence or audio-processing services; and
• security and fraud prevention.

We do not sell personal information for advertising purposes.

International Processing

Because we use online infrastructure and third-party service providers, personal information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country where you live.

Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain appropriate business and transaction records, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements and comply with legal obligations.

Voice recordings and related practice data may be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the functionality of the service, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• request access to your personal information;
• request correction of inaccurate information;
• request deletion of personal information;
• request restriction of certain processing;
• object to certain processing;
• request portability of certain information; and
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise applicable rights, contact us at [email protected]

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority applicable to you.

Children’s Privacy

Aprubo is intended for people preparing for an English-language proficiency test.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children where prohibited by applicable law.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us in circumstances where this is not permitted, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or alteration.

However, no online service can guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links and Services

Aprubo may contain links to third-party websites or services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

The latest version will always be made available on this page, with the updated date shown at the top.
