Privacy Policy
Last updated 10 November 2026. This policy explains what data IELTS Examiner (ielts.sweetai.work), operated by SweetAI, collects, why we collect it, and which third parties process it. It describes the services this site actually uses today — if a service is not named here, we do not use it.
Information you give us
When you create an account we store your email address, which is also how you sign in: we email you a one-time verification code instead of using a password. When you submit an essay for grading, we store the essay text, the prompt you answered, and the report we generate, so your grading history stays available in your account. When you buy a plan, we keep the order and subscription records we need to run your account — which plan you bought, its status, and its start and renewal dates.
Payment card details never touch our servers. Checkout and card processing are handled entirely by our payment providers, Gumroad and Payhip, under their own privacy policies. We receive confirmation of your purchase and the email address attached to the order so we can activate your plan.
How your essays are processed
Grading is automated. When you submit an essay, its text is sent from our servers to our AI grading gateway and the language-model providers it routes to, solely so the report can be generated. The essay is processed to produce your scores and feedback; it is not sold, not shared with advertisers, and not used to identify you. Because submitted text is processed by automated systems, please do not include real personal details — names, addresses, ID numbers — inside practice essays. Fictional details are all a practice essay needs.
Cookies and local storage
We use a small number of first-party items. A session cookie keeps you signed in. Preference storage remembers your theme (light or dark) and language choice so the site renders the way you left it. Our network's page-view counter stores a random anonymous visitor ID in your browser's local storage so we can count daily visits; that ID is not linked to your account, your email address, or anything that identifies you, and it is never used to profile you.
Third-party cookies come only from the advertising and content services described in the next section, and only where those services are loaded.
Analytics and advertising
For measurement, every page sends one anonymous page-view beacon to the SweetAI hub, our own network's visit counter. It records the page viewed and the anonymous visitor ID above — no account information, no essay content, no form entries.
Our pages load Google's AdSense script so that advertising can be served on the site. Google may use cookies to serve and measure ads, including personalised ads where you have allowed them in your Google settings; you can review and control this in Google's own privacy and advertising settings. On our public content pages we also load the Mediavine Grow script, which provides content-engagement features and may set its own cookies as described in Mediavine's privacy policy. Social-media entries in our footer are ordinary outbound links — nothing is shared with those platforms unless you click through.
We send the email the service cannot work without: sign-in verification codes, purchase and subscription notices, and replies to messages you send us. These are delivered through our mail delivery provider, which processes your email address for delivery only. We do not sell or rent your email address, and we do not send third-party marketing mail.
Who processes your data
Only the providers this service runs on: Vercel (website hosting), Gumroad and Payhip (payments and plan activation), our AI grading gateway and its model providers (report generation), our mail delivery provider (verification codes and service email), the SweetAI hub (anonymous visit counting), Google (AdSense advertising) and Mediavine (Grow features on public content pages). Each receives only what it needs to perform its function.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us at any time what account data we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete your account together with your stored essays and reports; order records may be retained where accounting rules require it. Requests are handled by email — see the contact page — and we will confirm once your request is complete. If this policy changes in a way that affects how your data is used, the updated version will be published on this page with a new date.
