Some of our service providers (Google, Vimeo, Kinsta support staff) may access data from the United States or other countries. Where this happens, we rely on safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, as provided in each provider's data processing terms.

We may keep anonymous statistics made from learning records after you delete your account, because they no longer identify you.
You can ask us to:
You can do much of this in My Account, or email focusforum1@gmail.com. We respond within 10 days and in any case within one month. If the law requires us to keep certain records, we will tell you why we cannot delete them yet.
If you are in the EU, the EEA, or the UK, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Automated results: F-Levels and training plans are generated automatically from your diagnostic answers using fixed criteria. They are learning aids and have no legal or similarly significant effect on you. You can ask us how the criteria work.
The Site is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
We protect personal information with measures that include encrypted connections (HTTPS) across the Site, one-way encryption of passwords, two-step verification and minimum access for administrator accounts, login attempt limits, access logs reviewed monthly, firewalls, and regular backups. Only a small number of trained staff can access personal information.
We use only essential cookies that keep you logged in and keep the Site secure. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. You can block cookies in your browser, but you will not be able to log in. If we add analytics in the future, we will ask for your consent first and update this policy.
We will post changes to this policy at least 7 days before they take effect, or 30 days before for important changes such as new categories of data or new recipients. Earlier versions remain available on the Site.
