Privacy Policy

TestMyReading.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates https://testmyreading.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1) Who We Are / Contact

Site owner: an individual publisher. If you have questions or want to exercise your privacy rights, contact:admin@testmyreading.com

2) Information We Collect

Information collected automatically when you visit the Site may include:

• IP address (which may be considered personal data in some regions)
• Device and browser information (e.g., browser type, OS, language settings)
• Approximate location (derived from IP)
• Usage data (pages viewed, referring/exit pages, timestamps, interactions)

Account and Pro information: If you sign in with Google or use Pro features, we may collect information returned by Google login, such as your Google account ID, name, email address, and profile image. We may also process account session data, reading-test and AI-quiz usage data needed to enforce daily or monthly limits, Pro subscription status, billing provider, payment customer/subscription identifiers, and support messages you send to admin@testmyreading.com.

Payment information: PayPal processes checkout and recurring billing when you choose PayPal. Creem processes card and available wallet checkout and recurring billing when you choose that option, and may also administer earlier Creem orders. These payment providers handle payment details, invoices, and related billing actions. We do not store full card numbers or other complete payment credentials. We receive limited payment-related information needed to confirm and manage account-bound Pro access, such as plan, subscription status, customer ID, subscription ID, transaction/order ID, and billing email when provided by the processor.

3) How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Operate and maintain the Site
• Authenticate users through Google login and maintain signed-in sessions
• Provide reading speed tests, WPM/accuracy results, diagnosis results, Pro access, and Chrome extension quiz features
• Confirm, grant, revoke, and manage account-bound Pro subscriptions
• Respond to support, billing, and privacy requests
• Monitor performance, understand usage, and improve content and user experience
• Protect the Site (fraud prevention, security, debugging)
• Measure and serve advertising (if enabled)

4) Cookies & Similar Technologies

We and our third-party partners may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to operate the Site, analyze traffic, and (if enabled) show ads and measure ad performance.

You can control cookies via your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some features may not function as intended. Required login/session cookies may be needed for Google sign-in, account-bound Pro access, and subscription management.

5) Advertising (Google AdSense)

We may use Google AdSense to display ads on the Site. Google and its partners may use cookies and/or device identifiers to serve ads, limit ad frequency, measure ad performance, and (where permitted) personalize ads.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services here:https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

You can manage ad personalization in Google settings:https://adssettings.google.com/and learn more about ads and cookies here:https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

6) Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, time spent, device/browser information, and approximate location, and may set cookies or use similar technologies.

Learn how Google Analytics uses data:https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

You can opt out of Google Analytics (where available) by using Google's browser add-on:https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

7) Search Console

We use Google Search Console to monitor and improve the Site’s presence in Google Search (e.g., indexing, search performance). Search Console is primarily a webmaster tool and does not typically add additional tracking to your browser beyond Google’s normal operations, but data about the Site’s performance may be processed by Google.

8) Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK)

If you are in the EEA/UK, we process personal data under the following legal bases, as applicable:

• Consent (e.g., for advertising/analytics cookies where required)
• Performance of a contract (e.g., providing Pro subscriptions, account access, billing support, and requested digital services)
• Legitimate interests (e.g., securing the Site, basic analytics where permitted, improving content)
• Compliance with legal obligations

9) Consent Management (EEA/UK) & Your Choices

In the EEA/UK, we may show a consent banner to request your consent for non-essential cookies (such as advertising and certain analytics). Where implemented, you can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the consent settings/banner on the Site.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking cookies may affect ad functionality and measurement.

10) Sharing of Information

We may share information in the following situations:

• Service providers: such as analytics and advertising partners (e.g., Google)
• Authentication providers: such as Google, when you choose to sign in
• Payment providers: PayPal processes the PayPal option; Creem processes card and available wallet checkout, recurring billing, and earlier Creem orders
• Legal requirements: to comply with law, regulation, or legal process
• Security: to protect our rights, users, and the Site

We do not sell your personal information in the ordinary sense. However, advertising-related data sharing may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under certain laws depending on implementation and settings.

11) Data Retention

We keep information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. Server logs are typically retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting. Google Analytics retention depends on our account settings and Google’s systems. Account and subscription records are kept while needed to provide Pro access, handle billing disputes or support requests, meet legal obligations, and prevent fraud or abuse.

12) International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed outside your country (including in the United States) where our service providers (such as Google) operate. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

13) Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to object to processing or request data portability.

To make a request, contact us at admin@testmyreading.com. We may need to verify your request and will respond within the time limits required by applicable law.

14) Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or a higher age threshold where applicable). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

15) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and update the “Last updated” date.

16) Consent

By using our Site, you consent to this Privacy Policy. Where required by law (e.g., in the EEA/UK for certain cookies), we will request your consent through a consent banner before placing non-essential cookies.
