Privacy policy
What we collect, and what we don't
Last updated: [DATE]. We have written this in plain language on purpose. If anything here is unclear, email us and we will explain it.
In short
- You can do the whole course without giving us anything at all.
- Your progress is stored on your own device, not on our servers.
- We only get your details if you fill in the sign-up form yourself.
- We do not sell anything to anyone, and we do not run advertising.
- You can ask us to delete your details at any time and we will.
Who we are
Onramp is run by [YOUR FULL NAME OR COMPANY NAME], based in [CITY, STATE, COUNTRY]. If you have any question about your information, email hello@onramp.website.
Fill in: if you have registered a company, use its legal name and registration number. If you have not, your own name is correct and honest.
Using the site without signing up
You can read every page, take the whole course, and sit the test without giving us your name, your email, or anything else.
When you do that, your progress is saved in your own browser using something called local storage. That means:
- It stays on the device you are using. We cannot see it.
- It is not sent to us or to anyone else.
- If you clear your browser data, it is gone, and we cannot get it back for you.
- If you use a different device, you start again.
What gets stored there: which lessons you have finished, your test score, your certificate code, whether you answered each practice question correctly the first time, the name you typed in if you added one, and which context you picked at the start of the course.
You can erase all of it yourself at any time using the Erase my progress button on the My progress page.
If you fill in the sign-up form
Then we do receive information, because you have sent it to us. Here is exactly what, and why.
| What | Why we need it |
|---|---|
| Your name | So we know who we are writing to, and to put on your certificate |
| Your email | To reply, and to send you what you asked for |
| Which one you are | Learner, parent, teacher or employer. So we send the right thing |
| Your age range | 13 to 17, or 18 and over. Only asked of learners, and only to know whether we need a parent's permission |
| A parent's email | Only if you are under 18, so we can ask their permission before you join |
| School or company | Only if you told us you are a teacher or an employer |
| Your message | Only if you wrote one |
| Country | Worked out from your connection. We do not store your IP address |
If you are under 18
You can use the site and take the course without telling us anything. But you cannot create an account with us without a parent or guardian saying it is alright.
If you fill in the sign-up form and tell us you are 13 to 17, we ask for a parent or guardian's email. We email them, explain what Onramp is, and ask whether they agree. Until they reply, your details sit unused and you are not signed up. If they say no, or if we hear nothing back within [30] days, we delete what you sent us.
The site is not for under-13s. If you are under 13, please do not send us your details. If we find out we have information from someone under 13, we delete it straight away.
A parent or guardian can email us at any time to see what we hold about their child, correct it, or have it deleted.
Anonymous question statistics
When you answer a practice question in a lesson, we record two things: which question it was, and whether the answer was right. Nothing else. Not who you are, not your device, not your location.
We use this so the course can say things like "62% of people get this one wrong" using a real number rather than a guess. There is no way to link these counts back to any individual, including by us.
Visitor numbers
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count how many people visit. It does not use cookies, does not follow you across other websites, and does not build a profile of you. We see totals — how many visits, which pages, roughly which country — never individuals.
Who else can see your information
Cloudflare hosts this website and stores our sign-up records. They process data on our instructions. Like any web host, their systems handle your IP address in order to deliver pages to you and to block attacks.
That is the complete list. We do not sell your information. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it to train any AI system. If that ever changes we will say so here first, and for anything meaningful we will ask you rather than assume.
How long we keep it
- On your device: until you erase it or clear your browser.
- Sign-up details: while you are in touch with us, and for [12] months after we last hear from you. Then we delete them.
- Unconfirmed under-18 sign-ups: [30] days, then deleted.
- Question statistics: kept indefinitely, because they are just counts and identify nobody.
Your rights
Whoever and wherever you are, you can email hello@onramp.website and ask us to:
- tell you what we hold about you
- correct anything that is wrong
- delete it
- send you a copy
- stop emailing you
We will do it within [30] days and we will not ask you why. Depending on where you live you may have further rights under laws such as GDPR or the CCPA; we intend to honour those requests for everyone regardless of where they live, because keeping two standards would be worse.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. If a change actually affects you and we have your email, we will tell you rather than quietly editing the page.
