Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
🔒 Your Privacy Matters: E-Scholar Foundation is committed to protecting your privacy. We do not collect, store, or share any personal information. All assessment data remains on your device.
1. Introduction
Welcome to E-Scholar Foundation ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our cognitive assessment platform at e-scholar.foundation (the "Service"). We are committed to transparency and want you to understand that our platform is designed with privacy as a core principle.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
E-Scholar Foundation is designed to operate without collecting personal information. Specifically, we do NOT collect:
- Names, email addresses, or contact information
- Account credentials or login information
- Payment or financial information
- Location data or IP addresses for tracking purposes
- Device identifiers or fingerprints
- Your assessment answers or test results
- Browsing history or usage patterns
3. Local Storage
Our platform uses your browser's local storage technology to temporarily store assessment data during your session. This means:
- All test data (questions, answers, and results) is stored locally on your device
- This data never leaves your device or is transmitted to our servers
- You have complete control over this data
- Clearing your browser data will remove all locally stored information
- We cannot access, retrieve, or recover any data stored on your device
4. Session Data
When you take an assessment, the following data is temporarily stored in your browser session:
- Your selected cognitive domain and difficulty level
- Questions presented during the assessment
- Your answers to assessment questions
- Your test results and performance metrics
- Time spent on the assessment
This data exists only during your active session and is stored locally on your device. When you close your browser or clear your session, this data is automatically removed.
5. Cookies
Our website uses only essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the basic functionality of the Service:
- Session Cookies: These temporary cookies are required for the assessment to function properly. They do not contain personal information and are deleted when you close your browser.
We do NOT use:
- Tracking cookies
- Analytics cookies
- Advertising cookies

7. Children's Privacy
Our Service is designed for educational purposes and may be used by individuals of all ages. Since we do not collect any personal information, there is no risk of collecting data from children under 13 (as regulated by COPPA in the United States) or under 16 (as regulated by GDPR in the European Union).
8. Data Security
Since all data is stored locally on your device and we do not collect or transmit personal information, the security of your data is in your hands. We recommend:
- Using a secure, up-to-date browser
- Not sharing your device with untrusted individuals during assessments
- Clearing your browser data if using a shared or public computer
9. Your Rights
Because we do not collect personal data, traditional data subject rights (access, rectification, deletion, portability) do not apply in the conventional sense. However, you have complete control over any locally stored data through your browser settings.
10. International Users
Our Service is accessible worldwide. Regardless of your location, we apply the same privacy practices: no data collection, no tracking, and local-only storage. This approach complies with international privacy regulations including:
- GDPR (European Union)
