Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2, 2026

Who this policy applies to

This policy explains how PassUK handles information when you use the website to study for the Life in the UK test. PassUK currently works as a static-data product and does not require you to create an account.

What data PassUK uses today

PassUK currently stores study-related information on your device using browser storage. This includes your selected help language, flashcard progress, practice results, study streak, and local study preferences.

This information stays in your browser on the device you use. It is not sent to a PassUK database in the current version of the site.

Why this information is used

  • To remember your chosen help language.
  • To save flashcard ratings and practice history on your device.
  • To show study streaks and progress across visits on the same browser.
  • To provide the study experience you ask the site to deliver.

Analytics, advertising, and third-party technologies

PassUK uses Vercel Web Analytics to measure traffic and page views. Vercel describes this analytics product as anonymized and cookie-free.

Google AdSense: PassUK displays advertising through Google AdSense to support the free resources on this site. Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to PassUK and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

GDPR compliance and your rights

PassUK respects the data protection rights of users in the UK, European Economic Area (EEA), and Switzerland under GDPR and UK data protection law.

Because PassUK currently stores data only in your browser's local storage and does not require user accounts, we do not collect or process personal data in a central database.

Under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right of access: You can access your study data stored in your browser at any time through browser developer tools.
  • Right to deletion: You can delete all PassUK data by clearing your browser's site data for this website.
  • Right to data portability: Your study data is stored locally and remains under your control in your browser.
  • Right to object: You can stop PassUK from storing data by clearing site data and not using the website.

If we introduce user accounts, server-side data storage, or additional data processing in the future, we will update this policy with details on how to exercise your GDPR rights for that data.

Your choices

You can clear PassUK's locally stored study data by clearing site data in your browser. This will delete your progress, preferences, and study history.

To clear data in most browsers:

  1. Go to your browser settings
  2. Find "Privacy" or "Site settings"
  3. Select "Clear browsing data" or "Manage site data"
  4. Choose this website (passuk.co.uk or your domain)
  5. Clear cookies and site data

If a consent management platform is added later for ads or analytics, you will be able to change those choices through the site's privacy and cookie settings control.

Contact and updates

This policy may change as PassUK adds features such as analytics, advertising, or account systems. Material changes should be reflected here and in the cookie policy.
