Privacy Policy

AtoZ Science Ltd ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your personal information when you use our website and platform at atozscience.com (the "Service").

AtoZ Science Ltd is the data controller for the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We are registered in England and Wales.

We collect the following types of information:

Account information: When you register, we collect your name, email address, and password. If you are a student, we may also collect your school name and year group. Teachers may provide their school name and role.

Usage data: We collect information about how you use the Service, including lessons viewed, quizzes completed, quiz scores, time spent on the platform, and course progress.

Payment information: If you subscribe to a paid plan, our payment processor collects your payment details. We do not store your full card number on our servers.

We use your personal information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
• Process your subscription and manage your account.
• Track your learning progress, quiz scores, and course completion.
• Enable teachers to view student progress within their classes (Schools plan only — students are informed when they join a class).
• Send you service-related emails (account confirmation, password resets, billing receipts).
• Send you optional educational updates and new content notifications (you can opt out at any time).
• Analyse usage patterns to improve our content and platform.
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security issues.

Under the UK GDPR, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Contract: Processing necessary to provide you with the Service you have subscribed to.
• Legitimate interest: Improving the Service, analysing usage, and preventing fraud.
• Consent: Sending optional marketing communications. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legal obligation: Where required by law, such as responding to lawful requests from authorities.

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information with:

• Payment processors: To process subscription payments securely.
• Hosting providers: To store and serve the Service infrastructure.
• Analytics providers: To understand how the Service is used (data is anonymised where possible).
• Teachers: If you join a class on the Schools plan, your teacher can see your name, progress, and quiz scores within that class.

All third-party processors are bound by data processing agreements and are required to protect your data in accordance with applicable law.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or regulatory purposes.

Usage and progress data associated with Schools accounts may be retained in anonymised form for educational analytics purposes.

AtoZ Science is an educational platform designed for students of all ages. We take children's privacy seriously.

Children under 13 must have parental or guardian consent before creating an account. Schools using the Schools plan are responsible for obtaining appropriate consent for their students.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If you believe we have collected data from a child under 13 without consent, please contact us immediately.
