Privacy Policy
Last updated: 7 May 2026
1. Who We Are
PaperSolve.org ("the Platform") is operated by PaperSolve ("we", "us", "our"). We provide online video courses for IGCSE exam preparation. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it.
2. What We Collect
We collect the following categories of personal data:
| Data | Source | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email, profile photo | Google OAuth sign-in | Account creation, display on leaderboards |
| Purchase history, payment method | Paddle (merchant of record) | Order fulfilment, refunds, invoicing |
| Watch progress, exam scores | Your usage of the Platform | Progress tracking, leaderboards, resume playback |
| Referral relationships | Referral link usage | Referral credit attribution |
| IP address, browser type | Automatic (server logs) | Security, abuse prevention, rate limiting |
We do not collect sensitive personal data (health, biometric, religious, or political data). We do not store passwords — authentication is handled entirely by Google.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
We process your data based on:
- Contract performance: processing required to provide the service you purchased (account, course access, progress tracking)
- Legitimate interest: security monitoring, abuse prevention, product improvement
- Consent: optional features like marketing emails or leaderboard participation, which you can opt out of at any time via your profile settings
4. Third-Party Processors
We share data only with the processors necessary to operate the Platform:
- Paddle.com Market Ltd — payment processing, invoicing, tax compliance (UK/EU based)
- Vercel Inc. — application hosting and edge network (US based, SOC 2 certified)
- Neon Inc. — database hosting (US based, SOC 2 certified)
- BunnyCDN (BunnyWay d.o.o.) — video content delivery (EU based)
- Google LLC — authentication via Google OAuth (US based)
We do not sell personal data. We do not share data with advertisers or data brokers. We do not use third-party analytics or tracking scripts.
5. Data Retention
Account data and purchase history are retained for as long as your account is active plus 3 years after closure (for legal and accounting requirements). Watch progress and exam scores are retained for the duration of your course access period. Server logs are retained for 90 days.
You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at hello@papersolve.org.
6. Your Rights

7. Cookies
The Platform uses only essential cookies required for authentication and session management. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies. No cookie consent banner is required because we only use strictly necessary cookies.
8. Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:
- HTTPS encryption for all data in transit
- Encrypted database connections (TLS/SSL)
- Role-based access control for administrative functions
- Rate limiting and abuse detection
- Audit logging for all administrative actions
- Content Security Policy headers to prevent XSS
9. Children
The Platform may be used by students under 18 with parental consent. We do not knowingly collect data from children without parental awareness. If you believe a child has created an account without appropriate consent, contact us and we will delete the account.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a notice on the Platform. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
