If you are not a California resident, please see our main Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
In the last 12 months, we may have collected the following categories of personal information from California residents:
| Category | Examples | Collected? |
|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | Name and email address (only if you send a form), IP address (server logs, comments) | Yes |
| Internet activity | Pages requested (server logs); pages viewed and links clicked (Google Analytics, only if you accept analytics) | Yes |
| Geolocation | Approximate location estimated from your IP address by Google Analytics (only if you accept analytics) | Yes |
| Commercial info | Which platform pages you open and which links to other platforms you click | Yes |
| Professional info | Job title (if provided in forms) | No |
| Sensitive personal info | Health data, race, religion | No |
Sources of Information
- Directly from you: when you use the contact form, post a comment, sign up for emails or ask for the level-test cheat sheet
- Automatically: our web server's request logs and, only if you accept analytics, Google Analytics
2. How We Use Your Information
We collect personal information for these business purposes:
- Operating and improving our website (learnenglish.life)
- Answering messages and checking and publishing comments
- Counting clicks on links to other platforms, some of which pay us a commission
- Sending the emails you signed up for
- Analyzing site traffic, only if you accept analytics
- Complying with legal obligations
3. Information Sharing and Sale
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
The site shows no advertising and loads no advertising scripts. Google Analytics runs only if you choose "Accept analytics" in the cookie banner, and you can withdraw that choice at any time with "Cookie settings" in the footer.
We disclose personal information only to service providers that run parts of the site for us:
- Identifiers and internet activity with DigitalOcean (hosting and server logs) and, only if you accept analytics, Google (Analytics and Tag Manager)
- Name, email address and message with FormSubmit (contact form), OpenAI (automated comment moderation), SendGrid or Mailgun (email delivery) and ImprovMX (forwarding of email sent to our addresses)
- Your visit reaches another platform, and the affiliate network it uses, only when you follow a link to that platform
The privacy policy describes each of these in detail.
We do not knowingly collect or share personal information of minors under 16.
4. Your CCPA Rights
As a California resident, you have the following rights under the CCPA/CPRA:
Right to Know
You can request details about the personal information we collected, used, and shared about you in the last 12 months.
Right to Delete
You can request that we delete the personal information we hold about you, subject to certain exceptions.
Right to Opt Out of Sale

Right to Correct

Right to Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. No denial of service, different prices, or different quality.
